November 1st is going to be a big day for AMC. Fans will be treated to an extended 90-minute episode for The Walking Dead, and they will get to see the trailer premieres for Preacher and Into the Badlands.
In the new episode of The Walking Dead, “Here’s Not Here,” the survivors are now paranoid on who they can trust, and whether or not they can change. The episode is written by Scott M. Gimple and directed by Stephen Williams.
Preacher is based on the dark comic book series of the same name created by writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon.
Synopsis: Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) a conflicted Preacher in a small Texas town who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that allows him to develop a highly unconventional power. Jesse, his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) embark on a journey to, literally, find God. The Sony Pictures Television and AMC Studios co-production was developed for television by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg (“This Is the End,” “Superbad,” “Neighbors”) and showrunner Sam Catlin (“Breaking Bad”). The series is set to premiere mid-2016.
Into the Badlands is a new series for AMC that features martial arts in a post-apocalyptic world. What happened to all the guns? They’re now outlawed.
“Into the Badlands” tells the story of a ruthless, well-trained warrior named Sunny (Daniel Wu) and a young boy named M.K. (Aramis Knight) who embark on a spiritual journey across a dangerous land. From AMC Studios, the six-part series is created by executive producers/showrunners/writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Shanghai Noon,” “Smallville”), and executive produced by Oscar®-nominated producers Stacey Sher and Michael Shamberg (“Pulp Fiction,” “Contagion”), director David Dobkin (“Wedding Crashers,” “Shanghai Nights”), fight director Stephen Fung (“Tai Chi Zero”) and Daniel Wu (“Tai Chi Zero”).
