AMC’s The Walking Dead has got to be one of the most anticipated television series to premiere this fall. Frank Darabont’s live-action television adaptation of the graphic novel series by Robert Kirkman will focus on the humanity and relationships between the survivors, not just zombies. It is much more than a horror genre series – the story will test the bonds of friendship, family, community, and society as a whole.

Check out the behind the scenes featurettes with writer/ director/ executive producer Frank Darabont (The Mist, Shawshank Redemption), comic series creator Robert Kirkman, co-executive producer Gale Anne Hurd (Mercury, Terminator) and members of the cast about how the show is adapted from the source material and what makes the show not just a zombie apocalypse story.
