TALES OF THE WALKING DEAD Will Focus On New And Old Characters In New Anthology Series

Here comes another Walking Dead related show. AMC sure is milking this cash cow for all she’s worth. Tales Of The Walking Dead will be an anthology series based on the TWD Universe.

The show’s six-episode first season is slated to debut on AMC and AMC Plus in summer 2022,” Variety reports today. You can check out some early teaser artwork down below.

Variety details, “Each one hour episode is set within the world of “The Walking Dead” and will feature both new and existing characters.”

Channing Powell (“The Walking Dead”) will the spinoff’s showrunner.

“This series, more than any other in the Walking Dead Universe, runs on new voices, perspectives, and ideas — bringing to life stories unlike any we’ve told before,” franchise architect Scott Gimple said. “I’m thrilled to be Channing’s consigliere, helping in every way I can to make those new visions real for the best fans in TV. I started as a fan of ‘The Walking Dead’ and have ended up as a showrunner of what will hopefully be one of its most unique spin-offs. I’m so grateful to AMC and Scott for supporting me and my writers while we pushed, pulled and poked at the boundaries of this universe to bring you something new and unexpected, while hopefully still tending to what core audiences loved so much about the flagship show.”

This will be the fourth official “The Walking Dead” series, following in the wake of the main show, “Fear the Walking Dead,” and “The Walking Dead: World Beyond.”

A spinoff centered on Daryl and Carol is also in the works.
