We’ll soon learn the truth.

Later this year we’ll be getting the Season 10 finale of “The Walking Dead” as well as the series premiere of new spinoff “The Walking Dead: World Beyond,” both of which had originally been scheduled to air this coming Sunday night. Unfortunately, they’ve been pushed to an undetermined new date, but at least we’ve got a new “World Beyond” teaser to discuss.

The new spinoff series tells the story of the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse, and this latest trailer teases the link between the spinoff and the main series.

Surprisingly, past clips of Rick Grimes pop up in the new “World Beyond” teaser, which hints that the series will finally let us know who’s been piloting those mysterious helicopters we’ve seen a few different times on “The Walking Dead.” Most notably, the helicopters picked up Rick after he almost died on the bridge in Season 9, flying him off to an unknown fate.

It seems we’ll be meeting that new community in “World Beyond”…

In “World Beyond”…

“Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever. Grown-up and cemented in their identities, good & bad.”

“Two sisters along with two friends leave a place of safety and comfort to brave dangers, known and unknown, living and undead on an important quest. Pursued by those who wish to protect them and those who wish to harm them, a tale of growing up and transformation unfurls across dangerous terrain, challenging everything they know about the world, themselves and each other.”

Jordan Vogt-Roberts directed the pilot episode. Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, Hal Cumpston, Julia Ormond, Aliyah Royale and Annet Mahendru will lead the cast.

Don’t Forget There’s an “Alien” TV Series Too! Here’s the Latest Update

There’s a lot going on in the world of Alien at the moment. The original classic is returning to theaters, for starters, and the Xenomorphs will be fighting Marvel’s superheroes in the upcoming mashup comic Aliens vs. Avengers. Of course, the main event for 2024 is Fede Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, a brand new big screen movie set between Alien and Aliens!

With so much going on, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that Disney is also working on an “Alien” television series, in the works for FX from creator Noah Hawley (“Legion”).

The Alien franchise’s first ever television series is likely to arrive sometime in 2025, set to be the first story in the franchise that takes place on Earth, roughly 70 years in the future.

FX teases, “Expect a scary thrill ride set not too far in the future here on Earth.”

So what’s the latest on the “Alien” TV series? Deadline reports today that filming is underway in Thailand, and Sandra Yi Sencindiver (“Foundation”) is the latest actor to sign on.

According to Deadline’s report this morning, the series is set 30 years before the events of the original Alien – Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, meanwhile, takes place 20 years *after* the events of Ridley Scott’s Alien – dealing with “the emergence of the story’s infamous Weyland-Yutani Corporation and the race between corporations to create new android life.”

Deadline adds in today’s casting report, “We understand that Sencindiver appears in multiple eps and will play a senior member of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation.”

Sydney Chandler (Don’t Worry Darling), Babou Ceesay (“Guerrilla”), Jonathan Ajayi (“Wonder Woman 1984”), Erana James (“Uproar”), Lily Newmark (“Sex Education”), Diêm Camille (“Washington Black”), Adrian Edmondson (“War & Peace”), Timothy Olyphant (“Fargo”), David Rysdahl (“Fargo”), Essie Davis (The Babadook), Alex Lawther (The End of the F*cking World), Samuel Blenkin (“Black Mirror”), Adarsh Gourav (The White Tiger), and Moe Bar-El (The Peripheral) star in the upcoming sci-fi/horror series.

Sydney Chandler is playing a character named Wendy in the series, said to be “a hybrid, a meta-human who has the brain and consciousness of a child but the body of an adult.”
