THE WALKING DEAD SPIN OFF FULL
In its press release, AMC described the new location as being a "crumbling city" that "is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror."Įli Jorné will serve as showrunner and executive producer for Isle of the Dead, What Will 'The Walking Dead' Spin-Off 'Isle of the Dead' Be About?ĪMC has teased that Isle of the Dead is set within The Walking Dead Universe and it will see Maggie and Negan travel to a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, which was cut from the mainland long before the events of the series. No other cast members have been confirmed for the show as yet. Given the show has been announced before The Walking Dead Season 11 has come to an end, it all but confirms Maggie and Negan's fate in the show.īy this we mean that in order for the two characters to be in a spin-off they have to survive whatever ordeal is coming in the AMC show's final season, just like how Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride's Daryl and Carol will also live given they are also getting their own spin-off.ĪMC has confirmed this to be the case as it stated in a press release that both Morgan and Cohan would reprise their roles as Negan and Maggie, respectively. Who Will Star in 'The Walking Dead' Spin-Off 'Isle of the Dead'?
This story originally ran in November of 2018. Here's hoping they use this opportunity to make that leap. Even if there are plans for the franchise to continue on for another decade. Either way, it's the only viable endgame option.
So the show could involve a cure or, in the very least, people looking for one. One thing's for sure: This group requires human specimens. Maybe it's a base, maybe it's a research facility. Rick was last seen headed to a place that has access to military tech and medical supplies. What if, as a way to make it up to us, this show gives the zombie plague an actual stopping point? That's not to say everything ends with this, but what if Rick's adventure involves people trying to discover an actual cure? That's how you eventually end the entire franchise. Also, some of you are probably Russian spies. well, the trickery involving Rick not dying, the show's cutesy tactics for trying to fool its viewers have landed less-than-ideally. Nothing came of it except to establish that everyone in the world was infected with a virus that turns them into zombies when they die, no matter how they die.Īnother issue fans and critics have had at times was the show's reliance on cheap smoke and mirrors-style deception. Back in Season 1, in a break from the comics, Rick's crew visited the CDC for a spell. There's no intuitive end point within the established story for this show. The Walking Dead has long taken flak over its lack of an endgame. (That's basically what happened with the Obi-Wan Kenobi show.) Giving us a look at the much larger world, outside of North America, would be a rad twist.Īlso, there's really no other explanation for why Rick wouldn't have made it back to his daughter Judith by now (aside from him being dead, which obviously won't be the case). This project isn't a series of movies anymore, but it seems safe to say that some of the concepts from the movies will wind up on the series. Moving the show to a different country would also feed into everything Gimple and Lincoln used to say about the movies involving yet-unseen worlds, new corners, and things fans have been saying for years that they want to see in a zombie apocalypse. So wouldn't it be easier if the new show was shot somewhere else? Somewhere in the U.K. Also, one of the big reasons Andrew Lincoln left the series was because he didn't like being away from his family and shooting in Atlanta for nine months out of the year.
