While “The Walking Dead” is shuffling towards its end, another spin-off is now starting in the USA.
“The Walking Dead” is impossible to kill. While the main series celebrates its grand finale soon after eleven seasons, a new offshoot starts in the USA today, August 14th. “Tales of the Walking Dead” is an anthology series and tells several stories from the zombie apocalypse.
‘Much is at stake’ in ‘Tales of the Walking Dead’
“Six different stories. A dead world”: With these words, the broadcaster AMC describes the spin-off. “People thought I was crazy. Nobody believed that this could happen. Nobody ever believes that bad things will happen,” says Terry Crews (54), known among other things from “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”. in a trailer.
For many years, viewers have known very well what could happen. Because even these six episodes will almost certainly not survive every character trying to find their way in a sea of undead. “There’s a lot at stake in every story,” the broadcaster says. The characters face “life-threatening choices.”
In addition to crews, the most well-known names in the cast include Olivia Munn (42), Samantha Morton (45), Parker Posey (53) and Jessie T. Usher (30), who embodies the A-Train in “The Boys”. So not only will there be new characters to see, well-known characters will also celebrate a return. Because Morton is known as “Alpha” to fans of the universe.
It is currently not clear whether this branch should remain with six episodes in general. When and where the whole thing will be shown in Germany is just as uncertain. Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video are likely to be among the hottest streaming candidates.
There are many more stories to come
The main series “The Walking Dead” ends this fall. 16 of a total of 24 episodes of the eleventh season have already been shown, the US broadcaster will show the last eight from October 2nd. In Germany, fans can access the latest episodes on the Disney+ streaming service. The final episodes should then also appear in this country shortly after the US start.
The end time for the “Walking Dead” brand has not come yet. On the one hand, series fans can already watch the spin-offs “The Walking Dead: World Beyond” and “Fear the Walking Dead” on Amazon Prime Video. On the other hand, three more offshoots have already been confirmed.
Maggie (Lauren Cohan, 40) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, 56) are expected to return for “Isle of the Dead” in 2023. A six-part series about Rick (Andrew Lincoln, 48) and Michonne (Danai Gurira, 44) will also be released next year. Another spinoff would revolve around Daryl (Norman Reedus, 53) and Carol (Melissa McBride, 57). However, McBride said goodbye to the project, which is why Reedus’ character alone should now be the focus.
