the universe The Walking Dead continues to grow with a brand new spin off: Isle of the Dead.
While we wait for the end of the original series The Walking Deadwe can only see the extent taken by the universe adapted from the comics of Robert Kirkman. Indeed, a prequel series of soon to be eight seasons has been added to the eleven seasons of the main arc, Fear the Walking Deadtwo seasons of a teenage spin-off, The Walking Dead : World Beyondand this year an anthology named Tales of the Walking Dead should make its arrival while waiting for the film on Rick and the series devoted to Daryl and Carol.
Nothing can stop the zombies, and it’s probably not about to stop since it has just been announced a new spin-off series: Isle of the Dead.
This series will follow the characters of Maggie and Negan – already played by Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan respectively in the original series – who arrive in Manhattan. There, they will be confronted with an environment cut off from the world for a long time which will prove all the more dangerous and terrifying.
Isle of the Dead will be showrun by Eli Jorné – who has previously worked on The Walking Dead as co-executive producer and screenwriter – always with the presence of Scott M. Gimple for oversee all of this Walking Dead Extented Universe. The latter also shared a few words about the team’s excitement about the arrival of this new series and its possible novelties:
“Eli has created a chaotic, beautiful, and grimy museum of horrors for Negan, Maggie, and the fans of the show, eager to discover an unknown and crazy world in the TWD universe. Lauren and Jeffrey have always been fantastic collaborators and now we’re going to take that cooperation to a whole new level with a series that will push these characters beyond their limits with their environment – and with each other. We’re all excited to take you on a whole new and different TWD story.”
It would have been surprising if the kingpin of this zombie extended universe don’t be impatient to unveil this new series, remains that the presence of Eli Jorné as showrunner promises a certain cohesion with the original series – whatever we think of it. Besides, the official pitch or Gimple’s statement insists on the terrifying side, but also “magnificent” from the Serie. Will a possible macabre poetry emerge from this new AMC production?
To find out, we will have to wait for the first season ofIsle of the Dead – composed of six episodes – be broadcast, and it won’t be before 2023.
