New Walking Dead Universe Short Form Series Ordered at AMC

More bite-sized tales are on the way from AMC as the network has given the go ahead for a brand new six-part series in the universe of The Walking Dead entitled More Tales From the TWDU (working title).

Scott M. Gimple — the chief creative officer of AMC's TWD Universe who co-created limited series spin-off The Walking Dead: World Beyond and the six-episode anthology spin-off series Tales of the Walking Dead — is overseeing the project for AMC's Content Room. 

More Tales From the TWDU follows Tales of the Walking Dead, which premiered last summer on AMC and AMC+ as an episodic anthology consisting of six self-contained episodes set within the walker apocalypse. One episode fleshed out the origin story of Alpha of the Whisperers (The Walking Dead's Samantha Morton) while others introduced all-new characters played by Walking Dead Universe newcomers like Terry Crews, Olivia Munn, Jessie T. Usher, Danny Ramirez, and Anthony Edwards.

Gimple has said a potential second season of would bring back old characters who lived and died on The Walking Dead, revealing in a recent interview that Tales "didn't end on this cliffhanger where you've gotta get back to that. It's an anthology show. So, I'm hoping that we can get back to it, but it's probably gonna be catch-all as catch can, as far as within all the other shows." The focus now is on the three new series spinning out of the flagship: The Walking Dead: Dead City, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, and The Walking Dead: Rick & Michonne.

We’ll keep ya posted on more TWD news as we get it.
