I think that we benefit from some of the slow burn, especially in the pilot. Well you’re absolutely right and that’s why we describe it as a family drama first and then there are zombies. I’ve only spent an hour with your characters so far, but that seems to shine through already and what’s most exciting is getting to see their evolution throughout the show, as there’s absolutely no limits or restrictions with them as I mentioned before. It’s strange as well, because back when the original Walking Dead show started, apart from the people that read the comics, no one knew who Rick Grimes or Daryl Dixon were, so I think part of the joy of Fear is seeing how the new characters develop, because they’re completely unknown entities.ĭefinitely and I think one of the strengths of the characters in The Walking Dead universe is that we get to spend time with them and grow attached to them and their development isn’t rushed. So I think we’ll be getting… you know what’s interesting is the feedback… I’m particularly curious to see what the overall reaction is going to be, because it is a different show, but we share the same DNA as the original, but it’s got a different rhythm to it, so I’m curious to see how people respond and say if they like it, if it’s too different, too similar – it’ll be interesting. It’s a very strange time, because typically you do a season of a show, you deliver the show and then you get a bit of a hiatus to look back and see what the reaction is and then gear up for the second season – if you’re lucky enough to have one – but we’re in the very strange position where we air soon, but we start the writers room for season two on Monday, so we’re ploughing right ahead. My only concern at this point, having been fortunate enough to see the first two episodes, is an impatience to see what’s next, to find out who’s going to rise to the challenge and who will end up served on a platter to the ever-hungry undead, so that’s hardly a criticism. Like its parent show, it manages to retain that sense of feeling like a sharp intake of breath, as while we all know what’s coming, the show’s characters are about to witness the downfall of civilisation for the first time. It’s a relief to finally have the curtain pulled back, as for those of us who have remained constant fans of The Walking Dead universe it’s a chance to get another flesh-eating fix and find out exactly what took place before Sir Rick Grimes awoke from his coma and set about his quest to grow an awe-inspiring beard.įear The Walking Dead is off to a fine start, with barely a minute into the pilot before the first zombie appearance. By the time you read this, Fear The Walking Dead will finally have been unleashed upon the public in the US (it arrives in the UK at 9pm on Monday the 31st of August on BT’s AMC), after months and months of rumours and speculation about the show’s content, ahem.
