The Walking Dead universe webisodes, complete list

The Walking Dead universe currently consists of the flagship series and, by February 2024, six spinoff series. Fans were devastated when the eleventh season of The Walking Dead series was announced as the final, and since then, Fear the Walking Dead has also concluded its story. While many characters’ stories have continued in the new series, there is another segment in TWDU worthy of viewing.

TWDU has many webisodes set in the same world, and many are tied to familiar characters or one of the numerous series within the fandom. In 2022, Dead in the Water brought attention to the other webisodes featured in TWDU.

This series marked a spike in interest regarding other Walking Dead-related webisodes. These brief miniseries tell brief offshoot tales in the universe, generally centered around a main character or characters.

The Fear TWD spinoff webisode, Dead in the Water, directly connects to Fear TWD and tells the story of the crew aboard the USS Pennsylvania submarine, first featured in season 6 of Fear TWD. This series, directed by Kenneth Requa, sees Nick Stahl reprise his role of Riley, who would eventually become one of Teddy’s (John Glover) cult followers on Fear TWD. 

The series takes viewers back to the eve of the outbreak, where the crew must fight for survival against their crewmates, who begin to reanimate into the undead. This is one of the best webisodes that looks at the beginnings of the outbreak and the confusion experienced as events start to unfold.

Dead in the Water is currently only available on AMC+ and YouTube.
