The Walking Dead Executive Producer, Greg Nicotero, has signed a new deal with AMC. Not only will this new 2-year deal include The Walking Dead, as well as the new companion show, it will also include new projects that are being developed for the network.
Joel Stillerman, AMC's EVP of Programming, Production and Digital Content, said, "Greg is a rare talent who has made an enormous contribution to the success of The Walking Dead, and now is also applying his creativity and nightmare-inducing genius to The Walking Dead companion series. We are grateful to have him at AMC for years to come, where he will continue to push the bounds of what is possible in both terrifying and delighting viewers."
Nicotero is a two-time Emmy award winning makeup and visual effects artist for his work on The Walking Dead.
