Network boss Charlie Collier called the spin-off a "no brainer." "We look forward to working with Robert, Gale and Dave again as we develop an entirely new story and cast of characters," he said in a statement.

Fall TV Preview: Where we left off with returning shows

Added Kirkman, who authors the comics on which the show is based: "I couldn't be more thrilled about getting the chance to create a new corner of theWalking Dead universe. ... 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."

Season 4 of The Walking Dead premieres on AMC on Sunday, Oct. 13. Will you watch the spin-off series?
