They'll trek across dangerous terrain, challenging everything they know about the world, themselves and each other. Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. But all of them will find the truths they seek.
The original series, The Walking Dead, will come to an end in 2022 after 11 seasons, but its zombie universe will continue in the spinoffs. There's another one in the works featuring Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride).

Here's a round-up of Walking Dead: World Beyond reviews from TV critics:
Entertainment Weekly: "There are so many obvious things wrong with World Beyond, AMC's bland Walking Dead spin-off for the youth. The main characters are nice, brilliant, and boring."
Hollywood Reporter: "Fear the Walking Dead numbed some of my engrossment and the wheel-spinning of the Walking Dead mothership blunted most of the rest. Spinoffs require runway and World Beyond, which has no direct narrative or character connections to The Walking Dead, has basically none. It just isn't very good."
TV Line: "Future conflicts and revelations are telegraphed with all the subtlety of pianos being dropped on our heads. And at the end of the hour, I just didn’t care what happened to any of the main characters."
CNN: "The Walking Dead: World Beyond is a minor excursion, feeling too much like the Disney Channel version of a zombie show, minus the catchy songs."
