The Walking Dead concluded on November 20, 2022, but its legacy continues with several spin-off series. The first spin-off, Fear the Walking Dead, premiered in 2015 and will have an eighth and final season. It is a prequel set in Los Angeles, showing the early days of the zombie apocalypse.
The Walking Dead: World Beyond aired from 2020 to 2021 for two seasons. It takes place in Nebraska and follows a group of teenagers who grew up in the post-apocalyptic world. It explores the Civic Republic Military introduced in the original series.
Tales of the Walking Dead is an anthology series that premiered in August 2022. Each episode tells a different story within The Walking Dead universe, featuring both new and returning characters.
The Walking Dead: Dead City, previously known as Isle of the Dead, follows the characters Maggie and Negan in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan. It serves as a direct sequel to the original series and is set to premiere in June 2023.
A spin-off centered around Daryl Dixon was initially planned to include Carol Peletier, but Melissa McBride will no longer be part of the series due to logistical reasons. The spin-off, set in France, will focus solely on Daryl Dixon and is expected to premiere in 2023.
There is also an untitled spin-off featuring Rick Grimes and Michonne. It will explore their love story and the challenges they face in a changed world. Production is set to begin later this year, and the series will debut in 2024.
These spin-offs expand The Walking Dead universe, offering new stories, characters, and mythologies for fans to enjoy.
