AMC has announced that The Walking Dead: World Beyond will premiere on Sunday, April 12 at 10 PM ET right after the Season 10 finale of The Walking Dead. Further, new episodes will be airing the following Sunday at 9 PM ET.
This series will be the third installment in AMC’s The Walking Dead franchise and will be the second spinoff series, with Fear the Walking Dead being the first. World Beyond will be “delving into a new mythology and story that follows the first generation raised in a surviving civilization of the post-apocalyptic world,” says AMC.

World Beyond will follow two sisters and two friends as they leave a place of comfort and begin to explore the post-apocalyptic world around them. The show will be “a tale of growing up and transformation” for the group of friends as they learn more about themselves, each other, and the world around them.

The series was first announced in April 2019 and in the following months, AMC shared that Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, and Hal Cumpston would be joining the cast. In late 2019, AMC gave the show its official title and shared the first poster of the new series.
Co-created by Scott Gimple, The Walking Dead’s Matt Negrete will serve as the Showrunner for the series, along with Executive Producers Gimple, Negrete, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert and Brian Bockrath.
