New The Walking Dead Season 1 One Sheet Television Poster

We’re still over a month away from the series premiere of AMC's The Walking Dead, but the TV show’s marketing is now in full swing! Just check out the newest one sheet television poster for the show below. It seems like everyone is really excited for this comic book adaptation about a world overrun by zombies, but The Blot really hopes there’s actual interest in this property and it’s not all hype (ala Scott Pilgrim). Then again, the expectations placed on a cable television show are very different from those placed on a major summer movie.

 The Walking Dead follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, traveling in search of a safe and secure home. Andrew Lincoln will portray the lead role of Rick Grimes while actor Jon Bernthal will portray the character Shane, who worked with Rick in the police department before the zombie disaster. Other cast members includes Laurie Holden, who plays Andrea, one of two sisters who join the survivors of the zombie plague, Steven Yeun as Glenn, an expert scavenger, and Sarah Wayne Callies, who plays Rick's wife Lori.

The Walking Dead, based on the popular Image comic book of the same name by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore, series premiere will air October 31, 2010 on AMC with a speical 90 minute episode.
