Plus, new photos from the fifth season of "The Walking Dead" have surfaced online, covering both new zombies and old, familiar faces of survivors.
Finally, "The Walking Dead" spinoff series received a pilot order last week. Described as a companion series, the show is expected to begin production in late 2014. Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd and David Alpert will continue their roles as executive producers for the spinoff, with the show's co-writer and co-creator Dave Erickson serving as showrunner.
"There are many corners of 'The Walking Dead' universe that remain unseen in the shadows. Being given the opportunity to shine a light into those corners and see what lurks out there is an absolute thrill," said Kirkman via press release. "I know the fans are anxious to hear what Dave and I have been cooking up for this new universe of 'The Walking Dead,' and I'm happy to be one step closer to sharing it with them."
