A Frozen ‘Walking Dead’ Spinoff ?

Even with “The Walking Dead’s” poppularity slipping there is talk of another spinoff. Scott Gimple, who served as showrunner for the past four seasons, who has a new title, Chief Content Officer, recently teased that more options are being discussed. Those options include more webisodes and another spinoff. Executive producer Greg Nicotero already has an idea about the spinoff he would like to see.
