The new series will feature two young female protagonists and the first generation to come-of-age in the zombie apocalypse in Virginia. “Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever. Grown-up and cemented in their identities, both good and bad.” The still-untitled series was created by chief content officer Scott M. Gimple and “Walking Dead” writer Matt Negrete who will serve as showrunner. The 10-episode first season is set to premiere on AMC in 2020.
