An untitled spinoff, focused on Norman Reedus’ character, Daryl Dixon, and Melissa McBride’s Carol Peletier, will premiere the following year, and an episodic anthology “Tales of the Walking Dead” is in development by AMC and the show’s chief content officer, Scott M. Gimple, People reported.
“It’s been ten years ‘gone bye;’ what lies ahead are two more to come and stories and stories to tell beyond that,” Gimple said in a statement. “What’s clear is that this show has been about the living, made by a passionate cast, team of writer/producers, producers, and crew, bringing to life the vision put forth by Robert Kirkman in his brilliant comic — and supported by the best fans in the world. We have a lot of thrilling story left to tell on TWD, and then, this end will be a beginning of more Walking Dead -- brand new stories and characters, familiar faces and places, new voices, and new mythologies. This will be a grand finale that will lead to new premieres. Evolution is upon us. ‘The Walking Dead’ lives.”
