Sources tell THR that an early script features one character who briefly appeared during a key season one episode.

This is an interesting piece that I had not heard before. They say "briefly appeared during a key season one episode", so it couldn't be Jenner, because he was a major character for 2 episodes. Maybe it will be his wife, who was only seen in vlogs during the S1 finale.

I saw somewhere in the last week or so that Kirkman was not thrilled with the whole CDC / Jenner arc, since he felt it locked them into certain "truths" about the virus that he would have preferred to keep a mystery or address later. Given this, I wonder if he would further draw on this by making Jenner's wife a focal point in the new show.

I think it would work as a movie, but the thing about prequels, they can only go so far and end up getting to the beginning of the current series.

Calling the new show a prequel is a stretch, though. It takes place in LA, and will supposedly start either just prior to, or during the outbreak. If there are any character crossovers, they will be remote at best (like my idea of Jenner's wife)

Looks really good. It looks like they are going to focus a lot more on the transition from old world to new world than the original series did. That should be interesting.

I'll try it, but I'm worried about the family it appears to be starting with. They're not interesting me very much so far. The kid running away from the church was more interesting. Also, I'm really hoping a black guy joins the cast early, and sticks around for a long time, like way longer than T-Dog.

I thought it was stupid they were already making a spinoff show.

But that trailer has me pretty interested now. I'll be checking it out.

The way they've left everything unknown in TWD, regarding how, why or what.....as soon as they said it would be dealing with the onset and origins, I was intrigued.

It is interesting that they are focusing on the outbreak. Since the very beginning, Kirkman has said that he has no interest in the outbreak, the cause or the cure. He has been rather vocal about his dislike of the whole Jenner story arc from the end of S1. I suspect that had at least something to do with Darabont's exit.

It looks like it will be great for one or two seasons, then it will turn into the walking dead. My favorite part of any zombie movie is the beginning of the newer dawn of the dead when the outbreak happens and nobody is suspecting it. The Walking dead went through that phase briefly with Rick coming to from a coma. This looks like it will do the same things focusing on a family, but also all of humanity. I'm excited. This gives the opportunity for AMC to have walking dead on almost every Sunday.

Well, you know, it is just a trailer. Trailers aren't for developing characters...

Only thing that sucks is they are doing a 6 episode first season like the walking dead.

6 is just so short and since this has a built in fan base you don't need a trial and error 6 episodes.

So it will be 6 quick ones and wait a year.

You're probably right, but I kinda liked that arc.

That's a great trailer. So far the only thing I don't like is the name of the show. Yeah, I suppose I am being picky.
