‘The Walking Dead’ Season 6 News: Winter Snow, New Beginnings For Rick
What has been quite clear about the hit AMC series "The Walking Dead" so far is it has mostly been set in the warm south. But all that changed last season when they went up to Alexandria where the weather and climate took on a chilly note.
Showrunner Scott M. Gimple sat down and spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the possibility of snowfall ever happening on the show, and there are few good reasons why it has never occurred.
"It's a hard one and one that we struggle with," Gimple said. "In the comics, the seasons have been represented -- not all the time, but there's been some really notable moments in the snow and even in autumn really."
That being said, the snow present in the comics may not be feasible for the show, considering its filming locations and production months, which are basically between spring and fall every year.
"That's a challenge for us, we're thinking about it and figuring it out. Nothing could be further from winter than our shooting schedule. That's a challenge, and there are certain things we balance," Gimple said.
"Just being able to make the show is a challenge. These are all little feature films every week, and we push it to the limit. We don't want to use white cornflakes [to double as snow] if we don't have to. It's a challenge, and we're gonna see what we can do. It's something we struggle with."
But next season there is a new opportunity for Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) to find love again after the tragic loss of his wife during childbirth.
Lincoln spoke with TV Line and spoke about the possibility of him and Jessie on the show, given that her former lover is now dead.
"It's tough, dating in the apocalypse," Lincoln said about Grimes' future romances.
