‘Walking Dead: World Beyond’ Gets New Premiere Date at AMC (Video)

AMC’s newest “Walking Dead” series, “World Beyond” has a new premiere date. The second spinoff of AMC’s popular zombie franchise will now debut Oct. 4 at 10 p.m., right after the return of “The Walking Dead.”

Chris Hardwick revealed the date during the “The Walking Dead” panel as part of [email protected] on Friday. The show also released a new trailer, which you can watch above.

Originally slated to premiere back in April, “World Beyond” was delayed early-on in the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought film and TV production to a standstill in March. Though the season had completed filming prior to the production shutdowns, a few of the season’s episodes have post-production work that remained unfinished.
