In what may be a first, AMC announced today that they have picked up the Walking Dead TV series…without a single frame filmed.

It was just last week that word came that AMC had greenlit the TV pilot, and I guess the script was so good that they wanted to make the series count, and count quick, as the first 6 episodes of the series will be the crown jewel of this October’s Fearfest event.

As a long time Robert Kirkman and Walking Dead fan, all I can say is this - I am so there.
