The Walking Dead Season 1 Cast Photo and Teaser Television Poster

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably aware AMC is about to premiere a brand new television show based on the extremely popular Image comic book, The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore. Next to TRON and Scott Pilgrim, I think the comic book property people seemed to be talking about the most at San Diego Comic-Con 2010 is the new The Walking Dead live action series.

While The Walking Dead comic book has been around for 75 issues now, the television show will start off with a six episode first season and will tell the story of life following a zombie apocalypse. Zombies have become the "it" monster in Hollywood these days and The Walking Dead is chock full of them! You can check out the show’s official Season 1 cast photo above, and The Walking Dead’s teaser one sheet television poster, by acclaimed painter and movie poster designer Drew Struzan, below.

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.
