The Walking Dead Spinoff Gets Really Dumb Title

Good news, Cougar Town: you no longer own the dumbest title on television.

AMC has announced that the upcoming companion series to The Walking Dead will be titled... Fear The Walking Dead. For real!

This is a photo from it:

“IT’S OFFICIAL! The walking dead companion show on AMC is called FEAR THE WALKING DEAD! Expect more news very soon! #FearTheWalkingDead,” executive producer Robert Kirkman Tweeted this afternoon.

Fear The Walking Dead will premiere this summer, with a 13-episode second season already set for 2016.

The first trailer will air this Sunday night, following The Walking Dead Season 5 finale.

The new drama will star Cliff Curtis (Gang Related), Kim Dickens (Deadwood), Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey (The 100) as Los Angeles residents struggling to survive the zombie apocalypse.

Not much else is known at this time, but expect a decent amount of gore, blood and violence. Just how we like it.
