Multiple announcements regarding the future of the Walking Dead franchise were made at San Diego Comic Con.

The trailer for season 10 confirms the show’s return on October 6 in the US:

Dani Gurira confirmed that she will be leaving during the season.

Details on the still untitled third series were also given, focusing on the first generation to grow up during the apocalypse. Annet Mahendru (Huck) and Aliyah Royale (Iris), Alexa Mansour (Hope), Nicolas Cantu (Elton) and Hal Cumpston (Silas) will be the core cast members on the show, which begins production next week in the Richmond, Virginia, area. The official logline is: “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, both good and bad.”

According to Scott Gimple, “There’s a big secret about the Walking Dead universe. All these years we’ve just seen a tiny sliver of the Walking Dead world. There’s a whole lot of world out there. The big secret is that all along, there have been other civilizations that survived the apocalypse. We saw hints of that in season seven of The Walking Dead and again in ‘The End of Everything,’ and now we’re about to show a lot more of the world in a bunch of different projects. These kids can grow up in a place of comfort and security, but they leave everything on a dangerous quest, and are being pursued by adults on their own. We’ll see kids become heroes and some become villains. We’re going to open up a whole new world of TWD.”

Meanwhile, the movies starring Andrew Lincoln reprising his role as Rick Grimes will be theatrical releases from Universal, rather than TV movies.
