As a popular drama in the past, the "Walking Dead" canon series has long ceased to be the hot drama that makes fans boil with blood every update, the 11th season of the canon has been broadcast for a part, and the remaining episodes will soon be broadcast, and this has long been determined to be the end of the canon series, perhaps many people have not yet realized, but this time "The Walking Dead" is facsimiling to the end.
However, it is clear that this series has brought great official heat, and this heat is enough for AMC to continue to explore other aspects of this world without having to finish the canon. Not only will "Fear of the Walking Dead" launch the 8th season in the future, and there is no sign of completion, but the official will also launch 4 new spin-off works to continue the life of the walking dead.
One of the most popular is an untitled "Crossbow Brother Spin-off Drama", the crossbow brother will return as the male number one, the story is newly exposed, will tell his experience to France, where he will be chased by some more rapid-moving zombies. The story will have some connection to another spin-off, The Walking Dead: The Outer World.
Originally, Carol will also return, but the follow-up actors quit, and the series will become a single episode of The Crossbow Brother, but norman Ridus, the actor of the Crossbow Brother, has said that the story of the Crossbow Brother and Carol is not over, so it is not certain that Carol will return in the future. The original broadcast date of the series is 2023, but it is not yet possible.
Another untitled series featuring Rick and Knife Woman, which was originally a one-man film belonging to Rick, has now been officially announced to be a limited series, the first season will have 6 episodes, and it is uncertain whether there will be plans to continue to launch in the future. The series is expected to air in 2023.
The third series, Negan and Maggie, titled Isle of the Dead, has already begun filming, telling the story of Negan and Maggie crossing Manhattan together. The first season of this spin-off is also scheduled for 6 episodes, which is also scheduled to air in 2023, and given that the series started filming earlier, it should be broadcast earlier than the spin-off series of "Rick and the Knife Girl" above.
Because the episode timeline is set after the main story of The Walking Dead, it is clear that negan and Maggie both survived in the finale. Interestingly, Negan and Maggie's characters previously played Batman's parents in the memory scene in Batman v Superman, so the series was also ridiculed as "The Waynes' Manhattan Journey".
The fourth is a digression drama series Tales of the Walking Dead, the first season is also 6 episodes, but each episode is a standalone story, most of which will be original, but there will also be small stories that complement the characters and stories of the canon series.
This actually opens up a new situation for the "Walking Dead" spin-off drama, this kind of extra-external nature of the short film set, a bit like Marvel's "If", but the brain hole has certain limitations, to be set in the same world view, but the story style and form will be relatively free, people who like this theme can be seen as a small movie, of course, the series fans can also find some big or small surprise Eggs in it. Therefore, this "The Walking Dead" is actually still very potential.
The first season of The Walking Dead will air on August 14th, and we'll see it soon.
