When I saw this show in development a month or two back, I was excited to say the very least. After seeing what AMC can do with shows like Breaking Bad or Mad Men (sorry HBO), this definitely has the potential to win them some more awards.
Based on the Robert Kirkman comics graphic novels, the series has been greenlit for a 6 episode season, each ep. taking up an hour slot. While that's not a whole lot of episodes to work with, the source material is very well written, and the show is sure to pick up on it's depth.
Kirkman stays close to his work, signing on as executive producer, with Academy Award nominee Frank Darabont helming the script. Set for a release to coincide with AMCs Fearfest, make sure to catch this gem when it airs October 2010.
