Spinoff Series Tales Of The Walking Dead Announces Cast Members
gamerant.comAMC has just announced additional cast members for Tales of the Walking Dead, an anthology series about the world of The Walking Dead. This is the second wave of casting announcements for the spinoff series, which is set to premiere later this year.
Since its premiere in 2010, AMC's The Walking Dead has solidified the network's reputation for producing prestige dramas that are also bankable, engendering an entire franchise referred to collectively as «The Walking Dead Universe.» In October of last year, AMC announced a new entry in the Walking Dead catalog: Tales of the Walking Dead, a series made up of standalone episodes that will each tell a story from The Walking Dead Universe.
