The Walking Dead ended with its “Rest in Peace” series finale, but The Walking Dead Universe lives on. AMC Networks will expand the world of the walker apocalypse with the eighth and final season of original spin-off Fear the Walking Dead before launching three new sequel series to the now-ended flagship show following Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) to New York City, finding Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) marooned overseas in France, and reuniting Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). Also on the way is a short-form series continuation of the episodic anthology series Tales of the Walking Dead.
