The Walking Dead universe webisodes, complete list
By Renee Hansen
The Walking Dead universe consists of the flagship series and six spinoff series. Fans were devastated when the eleventh season of The Walking Dead series was announced as the final, and soon after, Fear the Walking Dead announced that its eighth season would be the final. While many characters’ stories have continued in the new series, another segment in TWDU is 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 the success of Dead in the Water, a webisode that ties directly to Fear the Walking Dead, brought attention to the other webisodes featured in TWDU.
Dead in the Water was an exciting expansion to Fear TWD's story that spiked interest in 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.
