The Walking Dead: New Series, ‘Tales of The Walking Dead’ Starts Filming Next Week
According to The Gainseville Times, Tales of the Walking Dead, a spinoff of the zombie television show, The Walking Dead, is scheduled to begin filming in Buford, Georgia on Tuesday, Jan. 18.
The report says that “for a donation of $30,000, Hall County is allowing Stalwart Productions to lease the property at 5711 Holiday Road, located on a small back-road that will close down once filming begins.”
The site now features a prop convenience store called “Mini Mart,” and a prop Mexican eatery called “2 Panchos,” connected by an asphalt parking lot. The show is reported to be a new spin-off anthology series following characters and stories from The Walking Dead. Filming on the site is estimated to last 53 days, according to the location agreement.
The Assistant County Administrator Marty Nix said, “We’re in the process of cleaning that property up and getting ready to do the civil work,” Nix said. “We got contacted by this company saying, ‘Before you tear these buildings down could we use it for a production?’”
