This week’s Walking Dead universe news (August 12, 2022)

The biggest news in The Walking Dead universe this week is the release of the next spinoff series, Tales of the Walking Dead. If you are an AMC+ subscriber, you have probably watched episode 1, “Evie/Joe,” starring Terry Crews and Olivia Munn. If you are waiting for the AMC premiere that will air Sunday, August 14 at 9 p.m. ET.

The first episode of Tales of the Walking Dead is a great one that introduces some fantastic new characters. Set about one year after the outbreak, the episode features Joe (Crews), a prepper who has been holed up in his bunker and, after a tragedy, decides to head out in search of someone. He crosses paths with a woman named Evie (Munn). The pair couldn’t be more different but take off on a road trip to locate missing loved ones. This adventure leads to soul searching on the parts of both characters.

The second episode will release on AMC+ on August 14 and AMC on August 21.
