TALES OF THE WALKING DEAD
‘If you're looking for a tension-builder that combines a brutal morality tale with what I can best describe as a "horror noir" or "walker noir" tale, then look no further' - Bleeding Cool
From the universe that redefined modern television horror comes Tales of the Walking Dead. This bold, gripping new anthology series expands the post-apocalyptic world of the global phenomenon that is The Walking Dead. With each of
its six standalone episodes, the series ventures into new uncharted emotional and psychological territory, blending horror, drama and dark humour to reveal the many faces of survival.
Hot on the heels of its transmission on Sky Max, Tales of the Walking Dead is set to arrive on Blu-ray and DVD on November 10, 2025, courtesy of Acorn Media International. All episodes will be available to download and keep on digital from October 31, 2025.
This riveting collection of stories features an acclaimed ensemble cast including Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The
Expendables), Olivia Munn (The Newsroom, X-Men: Apocalypse), Parker Posey (The White Lotus, Dazed and Confused), Anthony Edwards (ER, Top Gun), Jessie T. Usher(The Boys, Smile), Danny Ramirez(Top Gun: Maverick, Captain America: Brave New World), Daniella Pineda (Jurassic World: Dominion), Jillian Bell (Workaholics, 22 Jump Street), Poppy Liu (Hacks) and Samantha Morton (The Serpent Queen, The Walking Dead), who each offer a different perspective into the apocalypse, capturing not just the monsters that roam the earth, but the ones that live within us.
Set in the months and years following the outbreak, the series follows the unique lives of new and familiar survivors, each facing the undead world in their own way. We follow doomsday prepper Joe (Crews) as he leaves his bunker on a quest to find his online friend and meets an unlikely ally in Evie (Munn) as they embark on a roadtrip that helps them find what they’re really looking for. There’s a tale of two hostile co-workers (Posey and Bell) who try to escape Atlanta – and each other – but find themselves in a time loop, reliving the hours before their deaths over and over again. And the origin story of The Walking Dead character Alpha (Morton) is revealed when we meet her as a mother trying to
protect her child Lydia in a refuge.
Other stories involve a settler (Liu), who seeks to convince a scientist (Edwards), that humanity must reclaim the land from the dead; a man (Usher) who wakes with no memory and is accused of murder and a traumatised couple (Pineda
and Ramirez) who take refuge in a secluded house where terror may already lurk inside.
The highly anticipated Tales of the Walking Dead is jam packed with gripping performances, cinematic storytelling and the much loved franchises’ trademark blend of adventure, survival, gore and heart. With a mix of dread, suspense and
unexpected wit, each self-contained saga dives deep into the psyche of its characters – this is a must-have for fans and newcomers alike.
