Next Walking Dead Spinoff Called WORLD BEYOND
The newest The Walking Dead spin-off show has been announced as The Walking Dead: World Beyond and will air in Spring 2020. The Walking Dead was one of the first television shows to bring zombies back into the mainstream consciousness when it originally aired all the way back in October of 2010, and now, almost a decade later, the series is getting it's second spin-off show after Fear The Walking Dead.
Although the show has lost multiple series mainstays like Rick and Carl Grimes and deviated sharply from The Walking Dead comic books from which they originally drew inspiration, many fans are still invested in the lives of zombie survivors like Norman Reedus' Darryl, who has seemingly become the show's de facto leader after the departures of so many original characters. Now, it looks like fans will have a whole new group of survivors to root for in AMC's next The Walking Dead-related idea.
Announced earlier today by AMC, the newest Walking Dead spin-off will be titled World Beyond and, although not much information is given about the show's plot or timeline, it appears to take place years after the events of both Fear The Walking Dead and The Walking Dead itself, insinuating this new show will comprise of main characters who grew up during the zombie apocalypse. A short teaser video was released by AMC to coincide with the show's announcement and is embedded below:
With the inclusion of a helicopter, suited troopers, and some kind of mysterious logo on the front of a character's jumper, one can only assume civilization has made some significant strides towards restructuring itself since the events of The Walking Dead. While more information is sure to leak out of AMC ahead of the show's February 2020 release date, right now all fans have to go on are the few tidbits the trailer provides, leaving much room for rampant speculation.
It's rather surprising AMC is continuing to move forward with additional Walking Dead spin-off television shows, since the ratings for the original have been steadily declining for the past few seasons. Although some fans can't help but to tune in each week to see what new horrors await the citizens of Alexandria, the Hilltop, and Sanctuary, surely many others are beginning to feel the woes of zombie fatigue setting in, much like the show's characters themselves. Only time will tell if viewers will flock to this new show as adamantly as they did to The Walking Dead and it's first sister show, Fear The Walking Dead, as they did when it first appeared.
