AMC's The Walking Dead is concluding after 11 seasons [1], but don't worry: the story isn't over yet. On Oct. 4, AMC debuted The Walking Dead: World Beyond [2], the third series in the franchise that takes place 10 years after the zombie apocalypse. The newest instalment in the franchise centres around the first generation to come of age post-apocalypse, following two sisters who only know life within the Campus Colony of Omaha — that is, until they must embark on a dangerous cross-country mission (with the help of a few friends) to save their father. Check out the gallery to learn more about the cast and characters.
