[Teaser] Second “The Walking Dead” Spinoff Series Opens Up a Whole New World in Spring 2020
New characters. New zombies. New world.
Announced back in April, AMC is expanding the world of “The Walking Dead” with a second spinoff series, which is said to feature two young female protagonists and focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse as we know it. Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, Hal Cumpston, Aliyah Royale and Annet Mahendru will lead the cast.
We don’t know all that much about the series other than the general approach, but it was announced at San Diego Comic-Con that Jordan Vogt-Roberts will direct the pilot episode!
The 10-episode first season of the untitled series will premiere on AMC in Spring 2020.
Check out a first-look preview below, which introduces some of the characters and features early concept art that suggests this series will indeed be very, very different…

“Scooby-Doo” Live Action Series Reportedly in the Works at Netflix
The second season of animated spinoff “Velma” is now streaming on Max, and it sounds like Velma and the “Scooby-Doo” gang may also be headed back into the world of live action.
Variety reports this afternoon that Netflix is planning a live action “Scooby-Doo” television series, with the streamer actively “nearing a deal” with Warner Bros. Television.
The series is being described in Variety’s report as a “one-hour drama project,” with Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg attached to write and executive produce.
Executive producers on the upcoming “Scooby-Doo” Netflix series also include André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner for Midnight Radio, with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman executive producing through Berlanti Productions. Varierty’s report continues, “Jonathan Gabay of Berlanti Productions and Adrienne Erickson will co-executive produce.”
“Scooby-Doo” has mostly been an animated series over the years, but there were two live action movies in 2002 and 2004: Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.
The live action cast for those two films included Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, and Linda Cardellini as Velma.
