... or 'companion' as they're calling it. Could someone explain the difference to me, if you know of one?

Anyway, here's the official statement from 'The Walking Dead' creator Robert Kirkman:
AMC made the announcement that it will produce a Walking Dead companion series with a 2015 air date in mind; serving on the show as executive producers are Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and show producers Glae Anne Hurd and David Alpert.

Kirkman had the following to say about the new show (of which details are scant at the moment):

“After 10 years of writing the comic book series and being so close to the debut of our fourth, and in my opinion, best season of the TV series, I couldn’t be more thrilled about getting the chance to create a new corner of ‘The Walking Dead’ universe,” said Kirkman. “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.”

Production currently has a 2015 air date goal, and details are pretty scarce at the moment.

What would it be about though? Another group in a different part of the country maybe? I think it would be really cool if it's about what gave rise to the zombie apocalypse in the first place - during the time frame that Rick was under. But at the same time, wouldn't that take away from the main series? :c
