The Walking Dead: New Spin-Off Will Have Only Two Seasons – The Digital Weekly

The Walking Dead: World Beyond will finally announce a premiere and only take two seasons. With the main show arriving in their 10th season and the first spinoff Fear the Walking Dead going into the 6th season, AMCs Walking Dead lineup seemed quite full. Nevertheless, last year, the network announced the imminent arrival of yet more TWD material in the form of a second spinoff series Walking Dead.

As details about the latest spinoff finally came out, the series was shown ten years after the beginning of the zombie apocalypse, featuring a group of young survivors who grew up knowing nothing other than the dangers of the zombie-infest world. Titled The Walking Dead: World Beyond, this group of young people will try to test themselves against the hard world outside and all its undead dangers from the safety of their families. In October, a World Beyond trailer was released, but there was no official premiere date.

Now, AMC has finally set a start date for its latest Walking Dead Universe project. The Walking Dead: World Beyond Twitter official revealed that the show will be premiered on April 12th, 2020 and that it will be only a two-season show.

The new details here, of course, are that AMC has assigned World Beyond a definite expiry date and reveals in advance that the plot is just two seasons long. The complaints Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead is right that the shows have gone on for too long and had too many resets over their extended runs. Still, AMC seems to avoid such problems with the new spinoff, allowing the supporters to know beforehand that after two seasons, the story is going to end.

The two seasonal arcs for the new range could mark the start of a new way to do business for TWD, which embraces a more focused narrative style over the open-ended show approach. TWD supervisor Scott Gimple recently trickled the possibility for limited events in the universe, with deceased characters perhaps returning from the original show. (Chandler Riggs even took the social media to tease Carl fans from the Dead).

Given that complaints of Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead lose their way throughout their very long run, Gimple and the company are probably wise to set definite limits on any new TWD content that they develop. So the audience will know that over a certain period, it is going to get a full, complete story instead of being asked to return week by week to another zombie series that starts strongly but continues to melt as writers are asked to churn out more story without any plan in mind. It will be interesting if The Walking Dead: World Beyond can produce a satisfactory, closed-end tale set in the zombie-plagued universe.
