The Walking Dead spin-off The Walking Dead: World Beyond is close to wrapping up the second season of the series. Fans are eagerly awaiting news of a release date that is expected before the end of 2021.
World Beyond is a coming-of-age story set in an apocalypse that follows a group of teens who had been sheltered in a community since early in the outbreak. They leave the protection of the walls on a quest to find the father of two sisters in the group. They quickly realize that the world is a much different place than what they are used to.
This series is the second spinoff of the flagship series The Walking Dead. This limited series will consist of two seasons, the second currently being filmed in Virginia.
