The Title of the New WALKING DEAD Series Revealed in Latest Teaser Trailer
AMC has released a new teaser trailer for the upcoming Walking Dead spinoff series, and that trailer finally reveals the title of the show is The Walking Dead: World Beyond.
The series will tell the story of a group of teens who have been raised in the zombie-infested post-apocalyptic world. That’s all they’ve known, and they will leave their comfort zone and venture out into the zombie-infested world in search of hope, and also because they want to see what the rest of the world is like outside of the walls that they’ve been confined in.
The teaser also introduces us to a new character named Elizabeth (Julia Ormond), a charismatic leader of a large sophisticated and formidable force in the story. She has her own special forces team that seems to take out zombies with ease. We don’t know exactly what her intentions are, but series co-creator Scott Gimple said in a statement:
“We are thrilled to have Julia join our merry band. I’m grateful for the talent, grace, intelligence, and humor she has brought to our set, our show and to this role. We — and the audience — are very lucky to have Julia helping bring this new world of the Walking Dead to life.”
Ormond shared her own enthusiasm about joining the series, saying:
“I’m so thrilled to be working with The Walking Dead team — I absolutely love how they write for women in particular; a lovely, talented cast and great to be back with AMC.”
The rest of the cast includes Alexa Mansour as Hope, Nicolas Cantu as Elton, Hal Cumpston as Silas, Annet Mahendru as Huck, Aliya Royale as Iris, Nico Tortorella as Felix, and Joe Holt as Leo Bennett.
The series is being written and produced by Matt Negrete and will also act as showrunner along with chief content officer Scott M. Gimple. Here’s the synopsis:
The Walking Dead: World Beyond will serve as the third show of the television franchise, following The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead. According to AMC, the series will feature two young female protagonists and focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse. Some will become heroes, some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever. Grown-up and cemented in their identities, both good and bad.
The Walking Dead: World Beyond season one will consist of ten episodes and is expected to air sometime in the spring of 2020.
