In "Evie/Joe," Joe (Crews) is about to find out that no man is an island. Prepared for the apocalypse years before it occurred, Joe slowly isolated himself, connecting with others mostly through chat rooms on the internet. When he ventures beyond what he knows to be safe, Joe is upended by Evie (Munn), a gentle free spirit with exceptional survival skills. She sees the beauty in everything and everyone around her, but she isn't a pushover. She, too, has a place she hopes to find. While their missions line up, their personalities do not.
In "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 (Posey) and Gina (Bell), 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.
AMC describes the new episodic anthology series set within the expanding TWD Universe: "With six original one-hour standalone episodes focused on both new and established characters within the walker apocalypse, 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."
The first episode of Tales of the Walking Dead is streaming August 11 on AMC+, ahead of an August 14 series premiere on AMC.
