'We are very well set up to work remotely.' TheWalkingDead showrunner angelakang explains about how the coronavirus has impacted work on the AMC zombie series
"We are very well set up to work remotely," showrunner Angela Kang tells The Hollywood Reporter about how the coronavirus has impacted work on the AMC zombie series.
As the coronavirus continues to impact the entertainment industry and the world at large, there is one television series that is already well-prepared to handle the global pandemic: The current era of the AMC zombie franchise takes place roughly a decade past the point of the inciting viral outbreak, with survivors like Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier well prepared for how to deal with the diseased dead.
"We use Zoom," she adds. "This is how we conference with Georgia when we're in production. I like the face-to-face of it. We've done this for many years. Even when we're not in a pandemic, any time anyone is sick, they just call into the room and it's not a big deal. We're very used to doing this."crew members actively on the ground in Georgia at the moment.
The operative word, of course, is "currently," as the situation remains under constant observation. Says Kang: "It sounds like our room won't shut down. Like I said, we are able to work remotely. We can keep plugging along on scripts. In terms of the production, it's all conversations that AMC is having and it's all being worked up behind the scenes, as I'm sure is happening everywhere else.
"What's interesting is because of the particular storyline we're working on for season 11, we've planned out a whole other thing with some real western and thriller elements to it," she says, weighing in on writing about a post-pandemic fictional world in the midst of a very real global pandemic. "In some ways, we've been writing this show in this world for a decade. It's based on source material.
