The second and final season of The Walking Dead: World Beyond, a spin-off series of The Walking Dead, has been given a premiere date: October 3.

The date was revealed this Saturday (24), during Comic-Con@Home. At the beginning of the panel, a new video for the series showed some new faces.

At the meeting, executive producer Matt Negrete talked about the decision to end the series. “Scott and I have always viewed the series as a closed, shorter story,” he said. “It’s always nice to know your ending and to work toward it. It’s very satisfying.”

The series tells the story of the first generation that grew up in the face of the zombie apocalypse through the unique point of view of a group of young people – sisters Iris (Aliyah Royale) and Hope (Alexa Mansour) and their friends Elton (Nicolás Cantú) and Silas (Hal Cumpston) – who, in search of answers about life and the world, leave their safe and comfortable place to face the living and undead dangers of this universe.

The series also stars Annet Mahendru as Huck, Nico Tortorella as Felix, and Julia Ormond as Lieutenant Colonel Elizabeth, the leader of the CRM, a para-military organization working on a controversial project to rescue society.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond is produced by AMC Studios. Matt Negrete is the showrunner and executive producer alongside Scott Gimple.

The Walking Dead 11 Gets Original Story, Outside The Comics

PopCorn Princess 2021-08-05

Anyone looking through The Walking Dead comics for spoilers from the last season will be disappointed, according to one of the producers.

The Walking Dead Season 11, which will wrap up the series, will feature an entirely original story independent of Robert Kirkman‘s comics. However, some elements from the last four arcs can be found.

According to producer Denise Huth, the main novelty is the new enemies, known as Reapers, which do not exist in the comics. In an interview with the Twitch channel TWDUniverse, she talked about the series’s freedom regarding the comics after so many years.

“It allows us a little more opportunity to breathe and introduce some storylines that aren’t in the comic books, and that, I think, is always really exciting for us,” she said.

Kirkman’s original comics will remain a staple, even with the freedom of this latest season, as Huth herself made clear.

“One of the beautiful [things] about getting to adapt something is that the comic books will always be there. That story will always exist as Robert wrote it,” the producer said.

Watch! The Walking Dead Season 11 Trailer Released Today!

PopCorn Princess 2021-07-24

The 11th and final season of The Walking Dead just got its first trailer during a panel at Comic-Con@Home.

The preview is packed with tense moments, with survivors back in Alexandria, appearances by the villainous Reapers, and apparent complications in the Commonwealth, a community of survivors more organized than any we’ve seen so far.

At the end of the trailer, a sequence shows a sort of propaganda of the territory, with soldiers wearing armor — one of them, in the last seconds, appears holding Eugene (Josh McDermitt).

According to McDermitt, Eugene will be in conflict over his capture at the beginning of the season: “He’s doing this for the people back home in Alexandria, but I think he’s also starting to feel the guilt of his friends getting captured and starts questioning if he did the right thing.”

The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang even gave a preview of what to expect from the Reapers, introduced in the final of season 10. “What sets them apart is that they are incredibly skilled, from before the apocalypse,” she explains. “They are the pinnacle of human killers, they are a very formidable type of enemy, and they don’t rely on numbers.”

The 11th and final season premiere on August 22, but the end of The Walking Dead won’t be until 2022, as a total of 24 episodes will air, divided into three parts. According to producer Scott Gimple, the first will air this year, and the others next year.

When asked about the end of the series, Gimple said that it holds strong emotions. “It’s a big story, with and it takes a lot of turns. We’re going to give the audience an epic, extended goodbye that will do justice to the series since it’s over ten years [on the air].”

Angela Kang, meanwhile, said she is excited for fans to get to see the actors’ work. “The zombies are fun, the action is fun, but this is a series about people, and that’s what I’m most excited for.“

Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 Preview Shows Nuclear Holocaust

PopCorn Princess 2021-07-24

Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 has gained its first preview. The video, revealed during a San Diego Comic-Con@Home 2021 panel, shows Morgan Jones (Lennie James) caring for Rachel and baby Morgan. Outside the shelter, the world succumbs to the nuclear holocaust that was started at the hands of Teddy (John Glover).

Ian Goldberg, co-showrunner of Fear the Walking Dead, explained in more detail what the protagonists of The Walking Dead’s spin-off series would encounter in season seven.

“Well, it’s gonna be a big escalation beyond what we saw in season five. We’re dealing with multiple nuclear warheads that have detonated across the landscape. It’s going to change everything,” he commented.

“It’s going to change the walkers. It’ll change how our characters navigate the world outside, where the air is not breathable unless through a gas mask. Resources are going to be more scarce. But, as with every apocalypse, we will also see that this event will bring a new brand of human adversary that will challenge our group. It’s a new world, in a lot of different ways,” added Goldberg.

The Walking Dead’s spin-off series panel brought together key actors from the series, such as James himself, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, and more, to discuss the future directions of the plot following the events that brought season end.

At the end of the previous year’s series, the protagonists had to deal with an unexpected threat in the midst of a zombie apocalypse: the firing of a missile from a nuclear submarine. The promise is that the seventh season will show them relearning how to deal with the end of the world after the destruction of practically everything they had been building.

Launched in 2015, Fear the Walking Dead is the first derivative of The Walking Dead and is set in Los Angeles, telling the story of two families who must come together to survive the apocalypse.

Fear the Walking Dead Season 7 will have its first eight episodes released starting October 17.

The Walking Dead: Rick Grimes’ Movies Might Still Happen

PopCorn Princess 2021-07-23

Since Rick Grimes departed from The Walking Dead, fans have been hoping for Andrew Lincoln‘s return in some spin-off movies, and they are still standing.

According to producer Greg Nicotero, although news about the project is quiet, the spin-off should still happen where we will see what happened to Rick Grimes after his official exit, which left many questions.

Nicotero talked about the films, which were initially going to be a trilogy, during an online event at San Diego Comic-Con. Although he is focused on the final season of The Walking Dead, the producer assured that things are moving along.

“I wish I knew, and I wish I could say [when it’s happening]. I’ve read a variety of drafts of the scripts over the last few months. They’re really making sure that they get it right,” he said.

No details have yet been revealed regarding the trilogy scheduled to be released after the series final season, expected to come out soon. The Walking Dead universe should be expanded even after the series ends.
