AMC announced that The Walking Dead will be getting a spin-off series after the crazy success it has been in its past three seasons, according to THR. The new show will be helmed by comic book creator Robert Krikman and executive producers on the current show, Gale Anne Hurd and Dave Alpert.
The Walking Dead universe is a vast one with many untold story lines waiting in the shadows. The franchise has already produced over 100 comic book issues, three television seasons and video games and there’s still much more to tap into.
That doesn’t mean that what we’re going to get will be good. We’ve seen plenty of TV spin-offs either fail miserably or crash and burn before they even got started. We obviously wouldn’t want to see that from our favorite zombie killers. Here are some brilliant suggestions from yours truly.
Doc Zombiewood
On his way to Hollywood to become a veterinarian for the pets of the rich and famous, hot-shot vet Frank Fox and his dog, Doggie Howser, set out for Tinseltown. Unfortunately the zombie outbreak occurs on their way and they get stuck in a small town. Now Dr. Fox has to treat all the zombie victims in the middle of nowhere even though his sights are set on the bright lights of Hollywood. And did I mention he’s only 14?!
Zombies Vs. Aliens
Aliens are forced to leave their planet when a black hole threatens to destroy it. They have travelled lightyears when they stumble upon Earth; a perfect home to restart. Unfortunately for them it’s overrun with zombies who are running out of food. What a stroke of bad luck! Are the aliens advanced enough to survive another planet’s zombie apocalypse? What happens when an alien is bit by a zombie? Do they turn into a zombie-alien? The possibilities are endless!

A Very Zombie Christmas

Santa decides to leave the North Pole to find out what could be happening. When Santa reaches New York City he discovers that it has been taken over by zombies. He tries to fly back home but all of the Christmas spirit to power his sleigh was used up on the journey there. Now Santa, his reindeer and Snowflake the elf must fight their way back to Mrs. Claus and try save Christmas.
You don’t have to thank me, AMC. You’re welcome.
