Since the end of the show, ‘The Walking Dead’ after 11 seasons, fans were eagerly waiting for yet another addition to the eminent The Walking Dead franchise. It is a spin-off to the American post-apocalyptic horror television series adapted from the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard—that together formed the core of The Walking Dead franchise. But even though it is the fourth television series of the renounced franchise, this is an anthology series with new characters and episodes every week and could thus be a fresh start for spectators and each episode could be experienced as a new story without having to worry about the subduing, overall continuity.
The series showrunner is Channing Powell, a former writer, and producer on both ‘The Walking Dead’ and ‘Fear the Walking Dead’. He is also the executive producer, along with Scott M. Gimple, the chief content officer of the Walking Dead Universe. Haifaa al-Mansour (“Good Lord Bird”), Deborah Kampmeier (“Star Trek: Picard”), and Ron Underwood (“Big Shot”) each directed one episode of the first season. Series producer Michael Satrazemis directed the other three, after being a part of the “Walking Dead” Universe for some time already.

The show debuted on Sunday, August 14, 2022. The first two episodes streamed on that same night, while the following episodes were released one week later, starting on Sunday, August 21.

Tales of the Walking Dead Storyline
‘Tales of the Walking Dead’ subsists of six original one-hour standalone episodes fixated on both new and settled characters inside the walker apocalypse. Each episode has its own different tone and perspective — but the stakes are high in each story, pushing new, indestructible characters with unstoppable, deadly preferences and circumstances. We get to visualize the apocalypse through different eyes, uncovering more worlds, mythos, and secrets of ‘The Walking Dead’.
