Even with the conclusion of the flagship series, The Walking Dead universe is ever-expanding with new series. By 2024, TWDU will consist of the main series and at least six spinoffs. Many fans enjoy rewatching all the series within the universe, and below, we have the rundown of where to watch.
The Walking Dead – the main series that kicked off the universe. This series began airing in 2010 and concluded in 2022. Fans can watch or rewatch seasons 1-11 with their Netflix subscription. The complete series is also available on DVD and Blu-ray.
Fear the Walking Dead – this is the first spinoff set in the same universe, but this series begins on day one of the outbreak and is set on the west coast. The series has migrated to different locations, the most recent being Georgia. Fear TWD filmed its eighth and final season in Savannah.
The eighth season will returns to AMC with premiere of season 8, part 2, on October 22, 2023.
In July 2023, AMC announced that Fear the Walking Dead seasons 1-7 are exclusively airing on AMC+.

This series reveals much more about the CRM (Civic Republic Military). Seasons 1 and 2 of World Beyond are available on AMC+.
