Walking Dead Boss Says The Success Of Amazon’s Invincible Could Lay Ground Work For Animated Series

Robert Kirkman’s upcoming hour-long animated series Invincible is looking very promising for Amazon and if this should be a success, his partner-in-crime for The Walking Dead Scott M. Gimple is already thinking about an animated series inspired by The Walking Dead, the comic adaptation that put Kirkman’s name on the map. Here Scott tells THR:

You never know! (Laughs.) I will say that one thing I’m looking at hard is animation. I mean, [Robert Kirkman, whose comic book Invincible is in production as an animated hourlong drama at Amazon] has a lot of talent around that, so that’s one-stop shopping for me. [World Beyond co-creator Matt Negrete] and I actually come from animation. We worked initially together in animation back in the day. And then we also went to college together. … But I mean, Invincible is going to be a really interesting thing to see. Hourlong animation? And the comic is fun, but it’s not a comedy and it gets super dark and dramatic, regularly. So I can’t wait for that. And Kirkman might lead the way on that too. It may lead us right back to a Walking Dead animated series.
