Move over Real Housewives of Atlanta, Atlanta zombies are coming to TV!

The On Location Vacations blog reports that AMC’s upcoming original series “Walking Dead” is currently filming in the Fairlie-Poplar district and will be set in Atlanta.

One of the scenes they will be filming in the neighborhood includes a main character arriving in a post-apocalyptic Atlanta. The city seems to be void of life when he arrives but he soon finds himself surrounded by the living dead and is quickly engaged in a tense fight to save his own life.

Sounds sorta like a normal day of hitting the Atlanta streets before rush-hour and then realizing there’s a convention in town.

And the best part is that that zombie extras are needed!  So if you know of any Decatur zombies looking for a little small-screen face time, have them shoot a note over to twdextras@gmail.com.  Selected zombies must to attend “zombie school” and have a flexible schedule between June and September, according to On Location.

Thanks to Jenn for pointing out this brain-munching event!
