Since we are getting more and more news of the third spinoff, I started its own thread instead of clustering the other thread with an additional show. I can get the title changed once they announce it.


Third Walking Dead series casts its first three leads


The series will focus on two female protagonists in the first generation to come of age in the zombie apocalypse.

The third series from the world of The Walking Dead has found its first three main actors.

Alexa Mansour (Unfriended: Dark Web), Nicolas Cantu (The Amazing World of Gumball), and Hal Cumpston (from Australian comedy Bilched) will star in the new show, which will join The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead on AMC in 2020, EW has learned.

The first 10 episodes of this zombie drama, still without an officially released title, “will feature two young female protagonists and focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse as we know it,” according to a network description. “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.”

According to Variety, Mansour will play “a good-natured rule breaker who lives for today. She is likable and funny on the outside but sad on the inside.” The trade also describes Cantu’s character as a “friendly” “old soul” with a black belt in karate, and reports Cumpston’s character as “a shy loner who hates the fact that he scares kids.”

The Walking Dead writer/producer Matt Negrete, who created the new show with chief content officer Scott M. Gimple, will serve as showrunner. Filming will commence this summer in Virginia.

As we await for intel, we know that Fear the Walking Dead (currently airing its fifth season) and The Walking Dead (heading into its 10th season) will both have panels at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con in Hall H. The former assembles on the main stage at noon PST on Friday, July 19 with the latter to follow at 1 p.m. PST.

AMC is also developing a number of Walking Dead movies that feature the return of Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes.

EXCLUSIVE: Nico Tortorella (Younger) has been tapped for a lead role in the upcoming third series in The Walking Dead franchise on AMC.


Nico’s character, Felix, is described as an honorable man of his word who isn’t afraid to fight for others’ safety and acceptance.


The untitled third series will focus on the first generation to come of age in the apocalypse as we know it. Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever.


The casting won’t interfere with Tortorella’s series regular role on Darren Star’s hit TV Land comedy series Younger, which was recently renewed for a seventh season with Tortorella set to continue as Josh.

Walking Dead Junior would have been more appropriate.

Nah! More likely Walking Dead 3 of 47.

Fred, Velma, Daphne and Shaggy arrive at the Apocalypse. Old man Zombie Winters is sure gonna be sorry. Like, wow, man.

this looks awful...WD: 90210...why call it 'World Beyond' when it looks exactly the same as the other WD shows- new group of survivors, new big bad villains, same rinse and repeat storylines...how about setting one of these new shows overseas to show how they are dealing with the apocalypse?

Zombies with teen angst.....I'll get right on that....not....

Episode topics include:

- Should you feel bad your parents were eaten by zombies, or happy you finally can have the keys to the Porsche?
- Is it appropriate to wear white after the apocalypse?
- Do we still have to divide up between the Jocks, the Cheerleaders, the Stoners, the Nerds and the Outcasts?
- Does my homemade armor make my butt look big?
- Does having a bad hair day excuse you from saving your friends?
- Do we just get to kill zombies or are mimes included?
- How long until the anonymous guy with the knit hat gets bitten?
- Are we required to walk in slow motion while an Imagine Dragons song plays?

The Zombie Diaries

Amusingly, Daybreak on Netflix actually answered most of these questions.

,, Wait ....,
Is this airing on ABC Family, or Nickelodeon?

As someone who stopped watching TWD after the big time jump and is on the fence with FTWD, I'm cautiously intrigued about the next spinoff. I like the idea of jumping even further in the future when some semblance of civilization has been established (effectively spoiling the general arcs of the existing TWD series). I watch enough CW series that it would be disingenuous of me to complain about the show's "youth movement." And like most CW shows, this could either be enjoyable and entertaining enough to keep me interested or a complete disaster.

Why do you think " further into the future" .. ?
The Trailer in Post 5 mentions "10 years after " the start of the outbreak ... that seems to me to be about where TWD is now with their recent jump, with Judith being around 8-9 yrs old or so ....

I saw that (10 years after the outbreak). I'm a little fuzzy on the timeline math so that's why I put "further," even if only by one year. I didn't realize that, according to the TWD wiki, she's 10 as of season 10.

More like dead horse! Somebody put this silly franchise out of it's misery!!
