'Walking Dead' season 5 news: Rick's plan for survival, spin-off series to show events prior to zombie apocalypse?

In the seemingly unending battle for survival, Rick Grimes gives his crew a reminder to get them by.

"We do what we need to do and then we get to live," the band leader tells his fellows.

In the new trailer for the midseason premiere of "The Walking Dead," the zombie apocalypse survivors continue their flight to live through the nightmarish wastelands overrun by flesh-eating walkers. According to Independent UK, Rick and the gang will be looking for a place to stay in permanently, and everyone knows it would not be easy at all for them to do that.

The group does not appear to run out of hope despite the fear that could so easily make get them quiver and impaired, let alone the death of Beth Greene (Emily Kinney), who met her doom shortly after she strived to escape her captors. It will not be a walk in the park to accept the loss and move on, and it looks like it will be hardest for her sister Maggie Lauren (Cohan). 

As the horrors and the thrills unfold in the return of season 5 of "The Walking Dead" on Feb. 8, fans can also rejoice for its reported spin-off. Everyone has been talking about the offshoot comic book creator Robert Kirkman is developing, and some got so wound up that they hitched a leak from a piece of a pilot script. Although it has already been removed from Bleeding Cool, other sites have managed to repost the excerpts. 

The draft, which was dated September, revealed that the spin-off will show events that led to the zombie apocalypse (apparently right before Rick Grimes woke up in the hospital). The claim is unfounded at the moment but Cleveland.com believes that everything in the leaked script makes perfect sense. 

Previous reports claim the inclusion of Kim Dickens and Cliff Curtis, who will play as a single mom and a teacher, respectively. It is said that the new "The Walking Dead" series will focus on family.
