TheWalkingDead Universe's Scott M. Gimple and DeadCity showrunner Eli Jorne explain why the new TWD shows will feature 6-episode seasons.
The Walking Dead: Dead City is bringing Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan back to our screens as Maggie Rhee and Negan Smith, but in a new way that may seem unusual to long-term The Walking Dead viewers. For a show that concluded its final season with a two-part, 24-episode run, the move to 6-episode seasons may seem alien to fans of the show, but there are multiple reasons for this.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Collider's Christina Radish recently spoke with Scott M. Gimple and Eli Jorne , and inquired how the change to shorter, sharper seasons came to be, compared to the mammoth "network-style" schedule that they would be used to, with Gimple revealing that it was actually down to AMC themselves making the call.
When asked if all of The Walking Dead spinoffs will be approaching their seasons in the same fashion, Gimple played coy by answering, "I’ll just say that, right now, these first seasons are six episodes. Things might change after that. We’re still seeing about that. The Walking Dead, in its first season, was six episodes, and then things changed, obviously."Eli Jorne also spoke positively about the change, both as a creative and as a fan of the universe.
