AMC'S "FEAR THE WALKING DEAD" BEGINS PRODUCTION IN VANCOUVER

Network Releases Exclusive Behind-the-Scenes Video from the Set of the Pilot

Series Debuts Late Summer on AMC

NEW YORK - May 11, 2015 - AMC announced today the start of production on its highly anticipated new series, "Fear the Walking Dead," in Vancouver. Additional filming will also take place in Los Angeles at a later date.

A companion series to "The Walking Dead," the #1 show on television among adults 18-49, "Fear the Walking Dead" is executive produced by Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, David Alpert and showrunner David Erickson and produced by AMC Studios. Co-Executive Producer Adam Davidson, who directed the pilot, is also directing the second and third episodes. The series' first season, consisting of six one-hour episodes, will premiere on AMC in late summer.

Also today, AMC.com released an exclusive new behind-the-scenes video from the filming of the pilot episode. The piece can be seen at: http://www.amc.com/shows/fear-the-walking-dead/video-extras/production-begins-on-fear-the-walking-dead

"'Fear the Walking Dead' takes us back to the earlier, more dangerous, more terrifying days of 'The Walking Dead,'" said Kirkman. "A time when danger was lurking around every corner and the thing mostly likely to get you killed was your own ignorance of the rapidly changing world around you. The stakes are going to be higher and the ride more intense. We're going to show people all the insanity of civilization crumbling that Rick Grimes slept through. Buckle up."

"I could not be more thrilled to be continuing on this apocalyptic journey, dramatizing the horrific disintegration of society through the lens of a dysfunctional family. We've assembled a stellar cast and crew to tell our story -- it's going to be a great ride," said Erickson.

"Fear the Walking Dead," which is set in Los Angeles and focuses on new characters and storylines, stars Kim Dickens (Gone Girl, "Sons of Anarchy") as Madison, Cliff Curtis ("Missing," "Gang Related") as Travis, Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) as Nick and Alycia Debnam-Carey (Into the Storm) as Alicia. Also joining the cast as series regulars are Elizabeth Rodriguez ("Orange is the New Black") as Liza and Mercedes Mason (Quarantine 2: Terminal) as Ofelia.

AMC Global, the international AMC-branded television network, will air "Fear the Walking Dead" within 24 hours of the U.S. premiere. AMC Global launched in late 2014 and is available in over 115 countries and territories throughout Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
