We've heard for awhile that "The Walking Dead" was getting a companion series, and the setting has been released!

It will take place in Los Angeles!

For the last few seasons we've seen Rick and his crew make their way around Atlanta, but the planned spin-off series will be taking it to the West Coast so fans can see how the rest of the country is dealing with the "Walkers."

The spin-off, tentatively called "Cobalt," is rumoured to be a prequel which deals with the early days of the epidemic. The series will be written by Dave Erickson and Robert Kirkman. So far, Cliff Curtis, Frank Dillane and Alycia Debnam Carey have been announced as cast members.
