Dan McDermott, president of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios, says the episodic anthology format will “give us the flexibility to entertain existing fans and also offer an entry point for new viewers.” bit.ly/3oVwpL7
“This series, more than any other in the Walking Dead Universe, runs on new voices, perspectives, and ideas — bringing to life stories unlike any we’ve told before,” Gimple said. bit.ly/3oVwpL7
“Tales of the Walking Dead” was first announced as being in development in September 2020, at the same time as the news that #TWD would end with season 11 and the news that Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride would star in a spinoff series. bit.ly/3oVwpL7
In an interview with Variety in 2020, AMC COO Ed Carroll said that “Tales” would serve as a “test kitchen” of sorts, meaning that if a particular episode is well received, it could lead to another spinoff. bit.ly/3oVwpL7
