We’ve been wondering for weeks what the official title of “The Walking Dead’s” companion show is going to be, and now, thanks to comic creator Robert Kirkman on Twitter, we know! *Drumroll please*

As has been hinted at for some time now, the spinoff is going to be known as “Fear The Walking Dead.”

Don’t forget that we’ll be getting our first look at “Fear The Walking Dead” this Sunday, March 29th, during “Talking Dead” following the season finale of “The Walking Dead.”  As always “Talking Dead” will air immediately after “The Walking Dead,” and the night’s guests will include showrunner Scott Gimple, actors Melissa McBride and Norman Reedus, and a “mystery” guest.

The new series will be set in Los Angeles and focuses on new characters and storylines. The show’s first season will consist of six one-hour episodes and premiere on AMC in late summer. The show’s second season will air in 2016.

Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, and David Alpert from “The Walking Dead” are executive producers of the new series, which, like the original, is being produced by AMC Studios. Dave Erickson (“Marco Polo,” “Sons of Anarchy”), who co-created and co-wrote the pilot with Kirkman, is an executive producer and showrunner.

The series will star Cliff Curtis (“Missing,” “Gang Related”), Kim Dickens (Gone Girl, “Sons of Anarchy”), Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), and Alycia Debnam Carey (Into the Storm).
