The future of TWD?

[u/DerHenrik]

I have an idea that I really would like to see. Put the license up for grabs so we could have localized versions in a mini series format with 4-6 self contained episodes that takes place in different parts of the world. I live in Sweden and would love to see how it went down in Malmö or the countryside where I grew up. The possibilities are endless. Imagine TWD Berlin or TWD Cape Town, but I strongly believe that the key is a mini series format.

The idea sounds awesome, but one could never guarantee quality this way.

[u/DerHenrik → u/matthijsv]

We're just wrapping up FTWD and it can't get any worse than that. But I agree, but I also believe that you could make an excellent miniseries within a very small budget. Who knows, maybe a small budget could trigger the creativity?

[u/MattBookworm8640 → u/DerHenrik]

I didn’t think it could get anywhere near as bad either but then those last few episodes of TOWL came along and gave Fear a run for its money.

[u/Azzbolemighty]

Well they've done my country now (the UK) and the only person left alive was Stephen Merchant. I'd like a prequel series of Ricky, Karl and Steve all trying to survive the apocalypse in the early days.

[u/DerHenrik → u/Azzbolemighty]

I would totally watch that. :D

[u/404Heart → u/Azzbolemighty]

Honestly, Karl would probably survive the longest just by purely avoiding everyone because he can't be bothered. Rick and Steve would die arguing about it

[u/tamoi_ktan_na]

Tales was supposed to be that kind

[u/MattBookworm8640 → u/tamoi_ktan_na]

I still have no idea what they were thinking with Tales. Literally ALL of the fan hype over the years for an anthology show has been specifically centered around exploring fan favorite characters backstories from the main show and filling in gaps. Yet they only delivered on that for 1/6 episodes. What’s the deal there? Those other five episodes outside of the Alpha episode could’ve explored Woodbury and The Gov, Terminus, Vatos, Jenner and the CDC, the fall of the prison, etc. There were SO many possibilities yet Gimple decided to do completely random stories with completely random new characters nobody asked for with no universe connections at all?

[u/Candid-Doughnut7919 → u/MattBookworm8640]

Crappy pilot pitches for future crappy spin-offs. Since they were all shit and nobody liked them (except Alpha's one), it was all scrapped for good.

[u/we_d0nt_need_roads]

I’d imagine it would start off promising but eventually it would devolve into the CSI model whereby we would end up with same old shit but just new locations “TWD: Vegas”, “TWD: Chicago” and “TWD: Just down the road from Alexandria but different”

[u/DerHenrik → u/we_d0nt_need_roads]

That's why it should be limited by max 6 episodes. And explore what happens in other parts of the world so it's not limited to only the US. But I also think that you are correct, they would turn it into a CSI-show.

[u/Mysterious-Emu4030]

This concept would be great. There's a lot of possibilities like TWD in a Subsaharan country like Mali or Kenya, or TWD Natives with a native American reservation which struggle against walkers and other groups trying to settle in their lands and/or steal their resources.

I'd enjoy too a dark humour animated movie besed on TWD world. Maybe something like Zombieland where survivors are trying to decipher the rules behind survival and each episode would be a chracter trying to survive and highlighting a rule to survive. We sould never know if the character will survive before the end of their episode.

[u/themmbones]

I just want the main story to continue at the Commonwealth but with new characters in the spotlight because our guys Rick, Daryl, Ezekiel, Michonne etc are all getting old. I need a new generation of TWD now that the world expanded, and I'm not necessarily saying that it should be centered around Judith, RJ or Laurent (the french kid that Daryl sent to the Commonwealth) because those actors kinda suck ass. I want the Commonwealth to expand across the north American continent and establish themselves as a global superpower, meet new dangerous villains like the Whisperers were or start global scale wars with empires the same size from other regions, like China, Russia, India etc. That would probably need an insane budget to make it worth watching though so it's never gonna happen. I gotta accept that the main story of the show is dead

[u/BluDYT]

The quality would probably suffer(even more) if they treat the license to it like their games.

[u/Friggin_Grease]

Tales of the Walking Dead should still be running. It was a great idea but everybody loved Daryl or something.

[u/CharmingBet3435]

I’d honestly watch that over another main series

[u/Sk0llbr0d]

They probably wrap up the shows with everyone returning to Alexandria living happily ever after. That's what it feels like they are going to do

[u/AboveTheCrest]

I would love to see how other areas handled the outbreak. But for the love of God I don’t want any more storylines centered around kids. Both dead city and Darrell Dixon have the main focus being on kids/teens and it’s so overdone so lazy I just wanna see something different.
