Although it might seem that “The Walking Dead” would continue for a long time, AMC surprised with news about the last season. Two completely new projects were also announced. One of them is to be a spinoff about two fan favorites.
The official confirmation of the ending of the main series The Walking Dead appeared on Wednesday morning, American time. The final eleventh season will go into production early next year, and the final episode will air in late 2022. AMC has released a special trailer which mentions various events of the last ten years and information about the final series premiere. The narrator of this material is Lauren Cohan in the series playing Maggie.
Season 11 will be longer than the previous ones. It is to have a total of 24 episodes, but it is not known by what system they will be broadcast. The game will most likely be divided into three parts of eight episodes or two of twelve. Additionally, at the end of this year, work will begin on six more episodes of the 10th season. These will go on air in early 2021.
The end of the main series, however, does not mean the disappearance of all the characters that appeared in it. Daryl and Carol will get their own spinoff by Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride. The action of this production is to take place after the eleventh season of The Walking Dead . It has not yet been announced when this production will debut, but the beginning of 2023 seems likely. Angela Kang and Scott Gimple will be responsible for the new series.

However, this is not the only new project from the universe created by Robert Kirkman. Tales of the Walking Dead was announced as an anthology series, where in each episode viewers will follow the actions of a different group of heroes trying to survive in a world overrun by the living dead. No more details have been disclosed in principle, but with this format the possibilities are practically endless. We will definitely see well-known characters again, as well as completely new heroes. The locations and timing of the action can vary greatly.
Finally, it is also worth mentioning the film that has been announced for some time and focused on the former law enforcement officer – Rick Grimes. AMC has confirmed the production work in progress, but still no official release date. The picture is to be the beginning of the whole trilogy, and Andrew Lincoln will play the main role in it again. This fall, Fear the Walking Dead will return to the screens and a completely new series will debut – The Walking Dead: World Beyond . This one will take place 10 years after the apocalypse begins and will focus on completely new characters.
