✖ The walls of the Alexandria Safe-Zone will soon fall as The Walking Dead nears the end of filming on its Final Season. Since Season 5, the Gin Property in Senoia, Georgia, has served as the walled-off community of Alexandria, the home of Rick Grimes and his group of zombie apocalypse survivors.
The Newnan Times-Herald reports location manager Michael Riley of Walking Dead production company Stalwart Films requested, and was granted, an extension on the closure of Morgan Street through late June. The road has been closed to through traffic on each end of the Gin Property since September 2014.
Scott Tigchelaar, developer of the Gin Property, confirmed all sets are to be removed, the landscaping redone, and the development"fully restored" when The Walking Dead has finished filming its 24-episode Season 11. This includes the removal of the iconic windmill, which caught fire during a violent storm and walker invasion of Alexandria in October's Season 11 Part 1 finale"For Blood.
Explaining the decision not to build facade"set homes," Tigchelaar told the Times-Herald,"AMC wanted to be more environmentally conscious and leave a lasting legacy to the show by building real, permanent homes which might be sold at the end of production. As a result, fans of the show will forever be able to visit a little bit of the Alexandria Safe-Zone, drive by their favorite character's house from the show…or perhaps even purchase and live in it.
