Walking Dead: World Beyond


  • A brand new teaser shows a huge walled community celebrating "Monument Day." A woman dressed in black, Elizabeth, gets out of the same type of helicopter that abducted Rick Grimes; she appears to be the leader of this community. Much of the trailer is comprised of zombie kills (some of which are pretty cool).
  • Executive producer Matt Negrete teases flashbacks to a major event called "The Night the Sky Fell" and Monument Day is a commemoration of this tragedy.
  • Zombies in World Beyond are called "Empties." This is derived from Jesus in the original comic books.
  • The kid heroes of World Beyond have knowledge of the undead, but most have never been forced to kill one.
  • Alexa Mansour plays Hope, but the actress describes her character as having a more grim outlook. World Beyond's two sisters, Iris and Hope, are very reliant on each other, but polar opposites in many ways.




  • Joe Holt plays Dr. Leo Bennett, a world renowned biochemist. This could potentially lead to some new reveals about the nature of the zombie virus.
  • The overall plot of World Beyond appears to be Dr. Bennett heading out to another community to share his knowledge about the virus. He gets into some unknown trouble and his two daughters, Iris and Hope, set out to save him with a bunch of other youngsters.
  • Julia Ormond (Elizabeth) describes the community she leads as "authoritarian" and teases a more villainous slant to her character.
  • Elton (played by Nicolas Cantu) has a conspiracy theory in World Beyond, believing the zombies are part of an extinction level event that will wipe out humanity. Cantu would love to share a scene with Eugene out of anyone from the original Walking Dead series.
  • Huck (Annet Mahendru) sets out to try and bring Iris' group back to the community.
  • Silas is described as a loner with a dark secret. He chooses to leave with the group because he feels alienated within the main community.
  • The poles with the flick-out blades in World Beyond after apparently called S-poles.
  • Scott M. Gimple confirms that World Beyond will reveal a LOT about the helicopter group, the CRM, describing them as a "constant presence" and promising that the new show will tie into the previous two.
  • All of Walking Dead: World Beyond's first season is in the can, with season 2 in the writing process.
