What did the world look like as it was transforming into the horrifying apocalypse depicted in "The Walking Dead"? This spin-off set in Los Angeles, following new characters as they face the beginning of the end of the world, will answer that question.
The Walking Dead tells the story of the months and years that follow after a zombie apocalypse.
It follows a group of survivors, led by former police officer Rick Grimes, who travel in search of a safe and secure home. As the world overrun by the dead takes its toll on the survivors, their interpersonal conflicts present a greater danger to their continuing survival than the walkers that roam the country.
Over time, the characters are changed by the constant exposure to death and some grow willing to do anything to survive.
The show is based on a comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman.
