The Hollywood Reporter speaks with showrunner Matt Negrete about what to expect from the two-season arc of AMC's latest zombie drama.
Okay, an odd mash-up; not that the kids at the heart ofwould know any better. Indeed, don't call them kids: they are the Endlings, the last generation still standing in the face of the zombie apocalypse.
Yeah. It's surreal because we were gearing up to premiere the show in April. And then this pandemic hit and it pushed everything through the summer into the fall. And so there was that buildup of excitement, and then all of a sudden the world started falling apart in reality, not just on our show. I'm excited now that we're [on the air]. It's super exciting. And I'm excited to share this with the world.
I think that one of the things for me that was interesting is my fear would be that the audience would be frustrated if here's this group of people that don't know anything about how zombies work and it's just like,"Oh, you got to stab the brain? What's that about?" But the premise of this, I think, was more interesting to me in that these characters, they've grown up behind walls in this place of safety while the apocalypse is happening all around them.
When Scott and I sat down to really think about who our core cast of characters was going to be, it was approached from a character standpoint as opposed to a plot standpoint. We knew that season one was going to be a quest-based story and then season two would be something else. And that something else will feel much different than season one.] is about growing up and about characters changing and about figuring out who they are and who they want to be in this world.
