New details about the highly anticipated "Walking Dead" spinoff have been revealed. The most recent revealtaion being that the show will be set in L.A.

Entertainment Weekly reports, "Just because the setting is Los Angeles doesn't guarantee it will be shot there. AMC, which had no comment, is still casting the pilot written by Robert Kirkman and Dave Erickson."

The Source reports, "Frank Dillane (who played a young "Tom Riddle" AKA "Voldemort" in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and Alycia Debnam Carey (Into the Storm) will also join the class as siblings, Nick and Ashley Tompkins, who are  survivng with their mother Nancy. According to Deadline Nick is a former drug addict, and Ashley is "ambitious" and "more level-headed than her brother".

Dave Erickson (Sons of Anarchy) will produce and Adam Davidson (Community) will direct the spinoff's pilot episode.

Cliff Curtis will be playing the "Rick" role, or group leader. Other sources have indicated that he is a teacher "trying to do right" by his friends and family.

In September, AMC President Charlie Collier noted, "Almost from the beginning of The Walking Dead, fans have been curious about what is going on in the zombie apocalypse in other parts of the world."

Series creator Robert Kirkman also expressed his enthusiasm, "The opportunity to make a show that isn't tethered by the events of the comic book, and is truly a blank page, has set my creativity racing," he said.

TVLine published the following list of characters:

"SEAN CABRERA | A Latino male in his early 40s, Sean is a good man trying to do right by everyone in his life.

CODY CABRERA | Sean's whip-smart and rebellious teenage son. Known as the angriest kid in town.

NANCY TOMPKINS | A thirtysomething single mom to two kids, Nancy looks like the girl next door, but there's an edge to her.

NICK TOMPKINS | Nancy's screwed up teenage son. He's too old to stay home, too scared to flee.

ASHLEY TOMPKINS | Nancy's mostly level-headed teenage daughter. Her ambition is in direct proportion to her older brother's failures. She loves her mom but it's time to get out of Dodge.

ANDREA CHAPMAN  | A somewhat wilted flower child, fortysomething Andrea - yep, another Andrea! - has retreated to the outskirts of the city to recover after a horrible marriage."
