‘The Walking Dead’ season 6 notes: Winter chatter; Danai Gurira’s new charity contest
The season 6 premiere of “The Walking Dead” is coming on AMC starting on Sunday, October 11, and today, we’ve got a couple of stories from various parts of the internet worth checking out … starting with an interesting question: Is the show ever going to try to replicate some of the winter scenes from the comics?
Given that the series tends to film in the warmer months and going year-round is a production challenge, this is something that is an enormous production challenge. These concerns are in many ways echoed by showrunner Scott M. Gimple, who says the following to Entertainment Weekly:
“It’s a hard one and one that we struggle with … In the comics, the seasons have been represented — not all the time, but there’s been some really notable moments in the snow and even in autumn really. That’s a challenge for us, we’re thinking about it and figuring it out.”
Don’t give up hope on this just yet if you want to see it … but for now, we’re saying that it is unlikely we’ll see real snow in Georgia anytime soon.
