Zombie TV Show The Walking Dead Set to Roll This Summer, Air in October Wednesday March 31, 2010 © Image ComicsAs previously reported, American Movie Classics' next stab at original programming (following the success of Mad Men and Breaking Bad) will be a zombie TV show based on the comic The Walking Dead. Now, we have official word that the network has ordered six episodes of the series, written and directed by Frank Darabont (The Mist). Production is set to begin in June, and the show will begin airing during AMC's annual October Fearfest horror movie marathon.
The first official casting was also announced: Jon Bernthal, who played the jerky husband on the short-lived Eastwick, will play the best friend of the show's hero, police officer Rick Grimes. The character of Rick has yet to be cast, but rumors are floating around that Jonny Lee Miller (Dracula 2000, Mindhunters) is the front-runner.
Meanwhile, KNB Effects Group has been hired to do the special effects for The Walking Dead. The company has a good track record with all things zombie, having worked on George Romero's last three films (Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead and Survival of the Dead), not to mention The Mist and the upcoming Predators
