Parker Posey and Jillian Bell Are at Each Other’s Throats in Tales of the Walking Dead Sneak Peek

Tales of the Walking Dead is going back in time — to the onset of the zombie apocalypse in Atlanta, Georgia, 2010. On Sunday, AMC’s Walking Dead anthology series premiered with the first of six standalone episodes focused on new and established characters within the walker apocalypse spanning The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, and The Walking Dead: World Beyond. In “Blair/Gina,” which is streaming early on AMC+ ahead of its August 21 premiere on AMC, relive the beginning of the end with Blair (Lost in Space‘s Parker Posey) and Gina (Workaholics‘ Jillian Bell). 

ComicBook has an exclusive sneak peek at the episode, which sees the hostile co-workers at each other’s throats as they try to escape the city — and each other — at the apocalypse’s start. Kari Drake (Lost in Space, Severance) wrote the episode directed by franchise veteran Michael E. Satrazemis (The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead). 

Watch the exclusive video above. 

AMC describes “Blair/Gina”: “It’s the onslaught of the apocalypse in Atlanta, Georgia, 2010. As everyday people try to understand the bizarre events unfolding around them, it’s anything but business as usual at the Circle of Trust Insurance Company. Blair and Gina, two co-workers who despise each other, are relentlessly confronted with life-threatening choices that make them question whom they want to be at the end of the world. They soon realize they must confront their own truths if they hope to survive a day no one wants to relive.”
