Plot Synopsis

Executive produced by WDU chief content officer Scott M. Gimple and showrunner Channing Powell, TALES OF THE WALKING DEAD is a one-hour horror anthology series, with each stand-alone episode focused on both new and established characters within THE WALKING DEAD universe. Each episode has its own distinct tone and point of view -- but the stakes are high in each story, pushing new, indelible characters with relentless, life-threatening choices and situations. We get to see the apocalypse through different eyes, discovering more worlds, mythos, and mysteries of the Walking Dead.
