Announced back in April, AMC is expanding the world of “The Walking Dead” with a second spinoff series, which is said to feature two young female protagonists and focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse as we know it. Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, Hal Cumpston, Aliyah Royale and Annet Mahendru will lead the cast.

We don’t know all that much about the series other than the general approach, but it was announced at Comic-Con over the weekend that Jordan Vogt-Roberts will direct the pilot!

Vogt-Roberts most recently directed Kong: Skull Island, my personal favorite “MonsterVerse” film so far, and previously made his feature debut with 2013’s The Kings of Summer.
