Is The Walking Dead considering moving to Europe? Speaking at San Diego Comic-Con, Scott Gimple was asked whether we will ever get to see a group of survivors in a different country:
“I would say it is entirely possible that that could happen. I’m going to continue to give a long, ambiguous answer on that, but I would say it’s something… I’d say it’s something.”
The Walking Dead may only be around the 115th issue mark of the comic books, and Gimple has promised they will never overtake the source material, but there are big questions of where we could go next. Not that we are sick of the backwoods of Georgia, but a trip to a different country could offer a new world of possibilities.
The idea of a worldwide pandemic is a pretty interesting idea. Especially considering what previous filmmakers have done with the concept in the past. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s 28 Weeks Later is a world famous take on a global zombie pandemic. In addition, Brad Pitt’s World War Z showcased the idea of a worldwide zombie outbreak idea as well.
The Walking Dead could travel to another country but, it is also possible that we could get another Fear The Walking show, where a prequel or sequel to the main show is released but set in Europe. Either way, there is still a long way to go before Rick and the gang pack their bags and head out to the European outback.
