While we're not quite sure why the Walking Dead team waited so long to announce the title of the second spin-off from the hit zombie apocalypse series (maybe they had lots of options and just couldn't pick?), the news is now out thanks to Dead creative overseer Scott M. Gimple. The show is called The Walking Dead: World Beyond.
As created by Gimple and veteran WD writer Matt Negrete, the show is set among the first generation to come of age in the undead-filled post-apocalyptic world we've come to know.
According to the official synopsis: "Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever. Grown-up and cemented in their identities, both good and bad." The series features Aliyah Royale as Iris, Alexa Mansour as Hope, Annet Mahendru as Huck, Nicolas Cantu as Elton, Hal Cumpston as Silas, and Nico Tortorella as Felix.
Newer announcements via to the latest trailer, as watchable below? Julia Ormond as charismatic leader Elizabeth, Natalie Gold as Lyla, a mysterious figure operating in the shadows on behalf of the cause she believes in; Al Calderon as Barca; Scott Adsit as Tony and Ted Sutherland as Percy.
The series will be on the air next year.
