Cruisin' with the Dead

 Can't get enough of The Walking Dead? Thinking of taking a cruise next winter?

The Norwegian Pearl will sail from Miami to the Bahamas on January 15-18, 2016, for three zombie-filled days of fun on the "Walker-Stalker Cruise". Passengers will be able to interact with cast members from The Walking Dead, including Norman Reedus, Chandler Riggs, and Emily Kinney, get photos and autographs, and attend question and answer sessions. There will be costume contests, theme nights, and lots of other fun.

The Walking Dead: Los Angeles

If you're a fan of The Walking Dead franchise, you may have followed the buzz for the past two years concerning a proposed "companion" series. The new series, which is set in Los Angeles, is now in production with the working title Cobalt. There is much speculation that the new show will be a prequel showing how the zombie epidemic began. Unlike the CSI and NCIS franchises where actors from the original series appear in special episodes of their spin-offs, it's not expected that Rick and his crew will pop up in the new series--unless they somehow make it out of Georgia.

And if you're anxious to see what happens in Season 5 of The Walking Dead now that Beth ( Emily Kinney) has shared the fate of her screen dad Hershel (Scott Wilson) in being killed off suddenly and violently with a blade, the series resumes on February 8, 2015.
