The Walking Dead and spinoff Fear the Walking Dead aim to restart production this fall – SYFY WIRE

Since the coronavirus delayedThe Walking Dead's Season 10 finale back in March(it'll now air on Oct. 4), the AMC flagship series has undergone some adaptive changes. At its recent Comic-Con@Home panel,showrunner and executive producer Angela Kang explained that Season 11 of the zombie show would be delayed ... but Season 10 would be extended by six episodes in its stead. Now there looks to be a timeline for the main series and spin-offFear the Walking Deadto head back to production.

Deadline reports thatFearaims to shoot in Texas at the end of August while The Walking Deadlooks to resume its Georgiaproduction in October.Our ability to resume in the safest possible way is something we are closely focused on, said AMC Networks CEO Josh Sapan. We will continue to monitor and adjust accordingly depending on local circumstances.

As of July 2, TexasGovernor Greg Abbott is requiring masks in counties with 20 or more cases of coronavirus, while local mayors and judges have the ability to impose social distancing rules and/orforbid groups larger than 10. That this isn't mandatory statewide may be whyFearis able to resume. Georgia'sGovernorBrian Kemp recently renewed COVID-19 safety measures for the state, whichbans gatherings of more than 50 people unless there are social distancing at least six feet away. It sounds like production is possible, but any safety regulations taken would be completely internal for the production.

ForThe Walking Dead, this filming looks to be for those six new episodes of Season 10,which look to air in early 2021. The show's delayed Season 11 could film some still this year, then air later in 2021 but those S10 episodes are the priority."The writers' room for Season 11 has been going remotely for the past few months," Kang said during the panel, though she notedthey "haven't been able to start production." As forFear, this would be production for the back half of its sixth season.

The Walking Dead's extended Season 10will continue in 2021 while the sixth season ofFear the Walking Deadaims for October. More pressingly,The Walking Deads A Certain Doom," World Beyond, and Talking Dead will hit AMC on Oct. 4.
