The Walking Dead won’t return until February, making that tragic mid-season finale all the more painful, but we have your fill of zombie related news via the TWD spinoff series. The show has found a name: "Cobalt."

Yes, like the element. Yes, we’re just as puzzled as you are.

In September, AMC confirmed it ordered a pilot for the series. Soon after that TV Line reported they got their hands on a list of characters for the show, starring a divorced male teacher, and a teenage drug addict, among others. 

So far it’s been said that the show will move away from Georgia and that it will take place in the first days of the apocalypse, which TWD fans didn’t get to see because Rick Grimes was in a coma. 

Will you be watching Cobalt, Dead heads? Let us know!
