The richest man in Kentucky Robert Kirkman is showing his range as a writer with his new TV show 5 Years. Where The Walking Dead was a post-apocalyptic show, 5 Years will be a pre-apocalyptic show, centering on the five years before a massive meteor hits Earth.
Kirkman's Skybound Entertainment has partnered with Entertainment One for the series and are striking deals with several countries around the world, due to Kirkman's grandiose idea to develop a different version of the series for each market. Each series will take place over five seasons and set in a specific international location.
