Executive producer Gale Anne Hurd dished on the new series and she goes into detail about why they chose Los Angeles for the setting.

"As a fourth-generation Angeleno, I certainly like to see it depicted how my friends, family, and colleagues would survive. Now we get an opportunity to see with a very different type of group than the type we encountered in Atlanta on The Walking Dead."

Back in March, the director Greg Nicotero sat down with International Business Times alongside The Walking Dead actor Andrew Lincoln and he reported a few details about the direction of the new series.

"So having the show set in Los Angeles [and] at a completely different time as walkers are beginning to take over the world... The idea, much like our show, it's really about the relationships and about the families and how they handle it and deal with it, so it's fascinating."

The first teaser has been also been released and the video hints at the idea that the series will take place before a huge zombie apocalypse occurs that will eventually wipe out most of the population.
