More information about Tales of the Walking Dead episodes
Tales of the Walking Dead is a spin-off anthology series for The Walking Dead franchise, which was initiated with its first season in 2010. Based on a comic book series by the same name, the story chronicled the life of Rick Grimes, his family, and other survivors of the zombie apocalypse.
Since the original series, The Walking Dead, came to an end in 2021 after a decade-long run spanning across 11 seasons, the creators decided to branch out in order to expand the universe.
Consequently, spin-off shows like Tales of the Walking Dead were conceived. It is to be noted that it is the third spin-off in The Walking Dead franchise.
While the seven season-long Fear the Walking Dead was the first spin-off, the second spin-off to the franchise was two season-long The Walking Dead: World Beyond.
The series follows the travels of different characters from The Walking Dead world as well as those outside of it, as they survive the hordes of zombies.
The first episode of the first season was titled Evie/Joe and featured actors Terry Crews and Olivia Munn. It dealt with Joe (played by Crews), who left the safety of his home and set out on a journey to find a former friend. On his way, he met Evie (played by Munn), who joined him on his mission. The remaining four episodes are titled Dee, Amy/Dr. Everett, Davon, and La Dona.
It is to be noted that as fans of the franchise gear up to watch the second season on AMC, the third episode will be out for the subscribers of AMC+.
Titled Dee, the third episode features actors Samantha Morton, Scarlett Blum, and Lauren Glazier.
In July, AMC announced at the San Diego Comic Con that actors Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira, who essayed Grimes and Michonne respectively in The Walking Dead series, will reunite for another series in a bid to expand the franchise in 2023.
