Third TV series in The Walking Dead universe: release date revealed

It will have 2 seasons.

The third series in The Walking Dead universe, titled "The Walking Dead: World Beyond," will run for 2 seasons, but no information about the release date of the second season is available yet. The first season will air on the AMC channel on April 12, 2020. This is reported by the series' official Twitter account.

AMC head Sarah Barnett told the LA Times in an interview that the channel does not plan to create similar spin-offs but, on the contrary, plans to experiment with formats of stories from The Walking Dead universe.

We have ambitious plans for this universe, in which, in my opinion, an endless number of stories can be told. A huge audience is asking us for this; they have no snobbery, but they have a highly developed taste. What we definitely will not do is make a series that helplessly repeats The Walking Dead. We will not repeat ourselves. Instead, we will try new formats with new and current authors.

According to the plot of the new series, the characters have lived for 10 years in a well-guarded camp that is hard to distinguish from a civilized city. However, the desire to see the post-apocalyptic world and living dead with their own eyes has overcome any echoes of reason. Therefore, the teenagers set off on a journey in which terribly hungry zombies await them.

The franchise head, Scott Gimple, had reported that the new series intersects with the original series The Walking Dead. However, it will tell about a community of people that coped with the epidemic much better than Rick and his team.

In early October 2019, the first trailer was released for the series "The Walking Dead: World Beyond."
