    Now that Shrike and her influence are gone, Madison sets sights on transforming PADRE into the safe haven the old Stadium was meant to be. But in doing so the island becomes a target as well as a beacon as word of Madison and this land of resources spreads, attracting unwanted attention that puts PADRE back in peril and questions whether our heroes even deserve to save it.

    Years have passed since we last saw Maggie and Negan, and they must now form a tenuous alliance in order to accomplish a dangerous mission. Maggie and Negan journey to the island of Manhattan, which, having been isolated since the beginning of the walker apocalypse, has developed its own unique threats. While in the city, Maggie and Negan encounter native New Yorkers, evade a marshal with a troubled past, and hunt down a notorious killer. But as the pair moves deeper into the gritty depths of the walker-infested city, it becomes apparent that the traumas of their tumultuous past may prove just as great a threat as the dangers of the present.

    On the heels of the oppressive presence of locusts, an even greater force is bearing down on every single member of each community. With Commonwealth flags raised at Hilltop, Alexandria, and Oceanside, there's no time to strategize for those on the road. It's a race against the clock to stay alive and extract those still living in the Commonwealth before Hornsby can execute his revenge.

    Inside the Commonwealth, Connie's article has created more chaos than planned. By exposing the Miltons' corruption, their hope to create a better, more equal, life for all may instead put everyone at risk. With the vast debt our group owes and no other viable place to live, simply leaving has never been an option. But if their next move fails, staying won't be an option either. What they're about to embark on will only invite more danger with massive consequences. The clock is ticking for our heroes inside the Commonwealth as well.

    As each group continues to get caught in uncontrollable situations, threats lurk around every corner, dead and alive. The looming pressure is cresting towards a day of reckoning for all. Will the sum of their individual journeys cumulate into one, or divide them forever? The fight for a future continues to be exasperated by the ominous population of walkers. Not all will survive, but for some, the walking dead lives on.

    The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live
    General information
    • Original network: AMC​
    • Showrunner: Scott Gimple​
    • Total number of episodes: 6​
    • Series premiere air date: TBA 2024​
    This series presents an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance. By an unstoppable power. By the ghosts of who they were. Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world, built on a war against the dead... And ultimately, a war against the living. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they've ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors? Without each other, are they even alive -- or will they find that they, too, are the Walking Dead?

    What we know
    • The series was announced on July 22, 2022 at the end of The Walking Dead 11C's San Diego Comic-Con panel
    • The series will consist of one six-episode season that continues and wraps up the stories of Rick and Michonne
    • Although originally announced to premiere in 2023, AMC announced on January 10, 2023 that the series' premiere has been pushed to 2024
    • This series stars Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) and Danai Gurira (Michonne Hawthorne), reprising their roles from the original TWD television series
    • Scott Gimple, who served as showrunner for seasons 4 through 8 of TWD and is currently the chief content officer of AMC's TWD universe, is the showrunner for this series
      • During the series' announcement, referencing Lincoln and Gurira, Gimple stated, "The three of us, along with a terrific team of [Walking Dead] all-stars and incredible new voices, are crafting an insane love epic worth the long, long wait."
    • This series serves as a replacement for the film trilogy that AMC originally announced in November 2018, which was said to show what happened to Rick after he and Jadis were taken by the Civic Republic Military, and would have been distributed by Universal Pictures
      • The city seen in the teaser for the first film was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the location of the Civic Republic (as confirmed in The Walking Dead: World Beyond). After the film trilogy's cancellation, it is unknown if Philadelphia will still be featured in the six-episode series; however, given the helicopters seen in the series' key art, the CRM does still appear to be in the story

    Tillie Walden is going to be doing a new young adult series starring Clementine:


    Image/Skybound today announced that Skybound Comet, a new original graphic novel imprint aimed at Young Adult (Ages 12+) and Middle Grade (Ages 8-12) audiences, will launch next year everywhere books are sold.

    Skybound Comet officially takes flight in July 2022 with CLEMENTINE BOOK ONE, beginning a trilogy set in the world of Robert Kirkman's THE WALKING DEAD, from award-winning writer/artist Tillie Walden (SPINNING, ON A SUNBEAM). This will be followed by EVERYDAY HERO MACHINE BOY OGN from rising star voices Tri Vuong and Irma Kniivila in September 2022, and then SEA SERPENT'S HEIR BOOK ONE, kicking off a fantasy trilogy from acclaimed creators Mairghread Scott (STAR WARS: RESISTANCE, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY) and Pablo Tunica (TMNT UNIVERSE), in October 2022.

    "The goal of Skybound has always been to create the best comics that bring new readers to the medium we love so much, and Skybound Comet is the next step in that mission," said Sean Mackiewicz, SVP, Editor-in-Chief, Skybound Entertainment. "We'll be not only exploring pop culture phenomenon like THE WALKING DEAD from a whole new perspective, but also bringing you entirely new worlds and new characters that we know will capture the hearts of readers of all ages."

    "These three launches are only the beginning of our long-term graphic novel plan," said Alex Antone, Senior Editor, Skybound Entertainment. "We're committed to igniting the imaginations of young people with exciting new genre adventures from diverse storytellers for many years to come."

    It's a new beginning for Clementine, the star of the bestselling video game franchise TELLTALE'S THE WALKING DEAD, in CLEMENTINE BOOK ONE, as she's back on the road, looking to put her traumatic past behind her and forge a new path all her own. But when she comes across an Amish teenager named Amos with his head in the clouds, the unlikely pair journeys North to an abandoned ski resort in Vermont, where they meet up with a small group of teenagers attempting to build a new, walker-free settlement. As friendship, rivalry, and romance begin to blossom amongst the group, the harsh winter soon reveals that the biggest threat to their survival…might be each other.

    "Starting out with a character like Clementine is both a huge responsibility and joy. Clementine is a person who brings adventure with her everywhere she goes, and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to take her beyond the world of the games, to somewhere new and thrilling (like the top of a mountain!)," said Walden. "She is a force and drawing and writing her story has been one of the best experiences in my cartooning life."

    Clementine makes her first comic book appearance in SKYBOUND X #1, available in comic shops and at digital providers on July 7, 2021.

    Clementine-Book-One-Cover.jpg

    Not familiar with Walden's work, but I hope this turns out good. Kind of wish the series were focused on Clem staying at the school though… The reasoning for her leaving West Virginia (and AJ, apparently) is gonna have to be good after how the game's final season ended.

    We've got some details on the Comic-Con panels for the AMC shows happening later this month:

    deadline.com

    ‘The Walking Dead’ & Zombie Spinoffs To Haunt San Diego Comic-Con Virtual Edition; AMC Unveils Full Lineup Including ‘Creepshow’, ‘Doctor Who’ & More

    UPDATE 7:42AM, after Previous Exclusive: AMC has made official what we told you earlier: The Walking Dead and its standalone series The Walking Dead: World Beyond and Fear the Walking Dead will be at virtual Comic-Con over July 23-25. Below is AMC’s schedule which includes V/H/S/94, Slasher...

    FEAR THE WALKING DEAD

    Panel Time: Saturday, July 24 at 1:00 PM PT


    Chris Hardwick (Talking Dead) will chat with the feature chief content officer of The Walking Dead Universe, Scott M. Gimple, showrunners and EPs Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg, and cast members Lennie James, Alycia Debnam- Carey, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Jenna Elfman, Karen David, Mo Collins and Christine Evangelista about season 7 with an exclusive first look. Premiere date is later this year. At the end of last season, Teddy (John Glover) brought about his vision of "The End" when he detonated nuclear warheads across the Texas landscape. In the series' new season, it will be up to those who survived to decide what "The Beginning" will look like. And they'll have to do it in a world devoid of light and hope, where the outside air is just as deadly as the walkers they face. The survivors will find out who they really are and what they're really made of. Some will rise to the occasion, some will find new purpose, and some will redefine themselves — even if it comes at a terrible cost to those they once considered family.

    THE WALKING DEAD: WORLD BEYOND

    Panel Time: Saturday, July 24 at 2:00 PM PT


    Hardwick will talk about season 2 and provide an exclusive first look with Gimple, showrunner and EP Matt Negrete, and cast members Aliyah Royale, Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, Hal Cumpston, Nico Tortorella, Annet Mahendru, Julia Ormond, Jelani Alladin and Joe Holt. Season two of The Walking Dead: World Beyond concludes the epic story of Iris (Royale), Hope (Mansour), Elton (Cantu), and Silas (Cumpston) — four friends who journeyed across the country on a mission that transformed everything they knew about themselves and the world. As they face off against the mysterious Civic Republic Military and fight for control of their own destiny, goals will shift, bonds will form and crumble, and innocence will be both lost and found.

    THE WALKING DEAD

    Panel Time: Saturday, July 24 at 3:00 PM PT


    A big conversation here about the upcoming 24-episode finale. Hardwick, Gimple are joined by showrunner and EP Angela Kang and cast members Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Lauren Cohan, Khary Payton, Christian Serratos, Josh McDermitt, Eleanor Matsuura and Michael James Shaw as they tease how it all ends. In the series' final and 11th season, the carnage and devastation of the Whisperer War has left Alexandria a former shell of the home it once was, and its residents are struggling to refortify its walls and feed its increased population as survivors from the Kingdom and the Hilltop join their ranks. Meanwhile, part of the group is being held captive by mysterious soldiers who are members of a larger and unforthcoming group.
    Should be a fun three hours. I'm assuming we'll get full-length trailers for each show during these.

    Not sure how to feel about this. At first it was uncharacteristic of Clementine. AJ could have easily interpreted that conversation as her saying he doesn't make her happy anymore, but maybe there's a lot more going on here that needs explaining? Maybe she's depressed? Or in some twisted way misses her old life since it's what she knew for most of her life?

    It definitely needed more meat and backstory. Most reactions are overwhelmingly negative to the point where I wonder what the writer expected. I can understand not going heavy on the backstory given you would basically be forcing one of S4's paths as the cannon one and potentially invalidating someone's playthrough.
    Yeah, after reading this story, I'm not sure how to feel about the upcoming graphic novel series. I don't think I buy the premise just yet, and I don't know if I'm excited for it. I get that it would've been difficult to show Clementine living at the school due to player-driven choices, but I still feel like there was something that could have been done. Even if it's just showing her in her room by herself, thinking about how she should be happy but isn't, or something. I just don't think leaving that sort of thing for the reader to connect the dots on works well, considering where she was at by the end of the Telltale series. It just feels kind of out of left field to me.

    Hopefully the series dives into that stuff.

    EDIT: Looks like Channing Powell is the (tentative?) showrunner for Tales of the Walking Dead, according to her Instagram profile:

    y3boLHt.jpg


    She's previously written numerous episodes of The Walking Dead, as well as a couple of episodes in the most recent season of Fear:
    • The Walking Dead
      • Season 4
        • "Internment"
        • "Inmates" (with Matt Negrete)
      • Season 5
        • "Slabtown" (with Matt Negrete)
        • "Remember"
      • Season 6
        • "Heads Up"
        • "Knots Untie" (with Matt Negrete)
        • "East" (with Scott Gimple)
      • Season 7
        • "Go Getters"
        • "Hearts Still Beating" (with Matt Negrete)
        • "New Best Friends"
      • Season 8
        • "The Damned" (with Matt Negrete)
        • "Monsters" (with Matt Negrete)
        • "Honor" (with Matt Negrete)
        • "The Lost and the Plunderers" (with Angela Kang & Corey Reed)
        • "The Key" (with Corey Reed)
      • Season 9
        • "Omega"
        • "The Calm Before" (with Geraldine Inoa)
      • Season 10
        • "Look at the Flowers"
    • Fear The Walking Dead
      • Season 6
        • "The Holding"
        • "Mother" (with Alex Delyle)
    Many of the episodes she's written have had very strong scripts imo, so I'm really excited to see what she does with the series. It sounds like she may just be getting things started while they try to get someone else for a more permanent role though?

    The Comic-Con panel for Fear season seven is up:



    Hope Andrew Lincoln can somehow return at least for the final episode of this final season.
    Maybe leading to his trilogy of movies.
    I think/hope they'll end up doing that. Even though they're wrapping up the main show, they need to throw in as many teasers for things like the movies and the Daryl/Carol show to keep viewers interested in watching the other things they have planned. Having Rick appear in some sort of post-credits stinger or something would be pretty hype I think.

    EDIT: Season seven premieres on Sunday, October 17th, will be the standard eight-episode half.

    Gimple said "it's possible" that Fear might eventually catch up to The Walking Dead in the timeline, in response to a question from social media. I wouldn't take it as an indication that it will or won't though, just that it's something they have considered.

    Also, the second clip from season seven was super creepy. Really loving what they're showing of this season so far.

    EDIT: Ian Goldberg mentions taking inspiration from movies like Mad Max, The Hills Have Eyes, and The Neverending Story for season seven.

    EDIT 2: Here's the panel for World Beyond:



    • Season two premieres October 3, 2021 on AMC, after episode seven of TWD season eleven
    • There'll be an episode of Talking Dead after the premiere
    • Gimple says the second season will have a lot of big reveals that tie into the larger TWD universe (though Rick Grimes will not make an appearance)
    • Jelani Alladin (Will), Joe Holt (Leo), Ted Sutherland (Percy), and Natalie Gold (Lyla) are being promoted to series regulars for season two

    First up will be "The Walking Dead: Dead City," starring "TWD" vets Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, debuting in June. Previously, AMC had announced out of an October New York Comic Con panel that the show would arrive in April, though no date was ever set. An official premiere date and time will be announced later.

    In other news, AMC says the much-anticipated Norman Reedus-led "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon" spinoff will be coming out later this year, following the roll out of "Dead City," and the possibly even more anticipated untitled "TWD" spinoff starring Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira returning as much-beloved characters Rick Grimes and Michonne, is now set to go into production this year and debut in 2024.
