The Walking Dead spin-offs complete guide
By Renee Hansen
The Walking Dead series has ended, but more to come in The Walking Dead universe. TWDU has already seen three spin-off series Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and Tales of the Walking Dead. But that’s not all; the next three new shows that are direct spin-off series of the flagship will be released.
In 2015, the first spinoff series, Fear the Walking Dead, was released on AMC. Now the series is filming its eighth season, which will release in 2023. Most believe the first four seasons of this series are the best, with season 7 receiving tepid reviews from even die-hard fans. With the change of filming moving from Austin, TX to Savannah, GA, fans are hoping for a reinvention of that series that will bring it back on track.
The Walking Dead: World Beyond was the next spin-off, released in 2020, was a limited coming-of-age series consisting of two seasons. This series saw a significant focus on the CRM (Civic Republic Military) which contains vital information about this mysterious organization. The same that took Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) in trade from Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh).
In the summer of 2022, an anthology series, Tales of the Walking Dead, introduced many new characters to TWD Family in a series of stand-alone stories.
