AMC must really like spinoffs lately, because only a few days after the announcement of the Breaking Bad prequel "Better call Saul", we now have a new spinoff on the way taking place in the universe of the walking dead.
I find it strange that they would create a spinoff of the series centering around the same possible thing but I'm excited nonetheless.
Don't expect to be seeing it any time soon though, as its not set to arrive til sometime in 2015

AMC have announced they are in the initial stages of development on what they're calling a "companion" series to The Walking Dead.
It remains to be seen if we'll meet any of the new characters first on The Walking Dead or if the show will take place in such an entirely different area of the world, that wouldn't be possible.
“After 10 years of writing the comic book series and being so close to the debut of our fourth, and in my opinion, best season of the TV series, I couldn't be more thrilled about getting the chance to create a new corner of The Walking Dead universe,” said Kirkman. “The opportunity to make a show that isn't tethered by the events of the comic book, and is truly a blank page, has set my creativity racing.”
