'The Walking Dead: World Beyond' had plenty to offer during its panel in the ongoing Comic-Con@Home virtual 2020 event. From the release date (October 4) to a brand new trailer and some interesting snippets, the discussion event of AMC's spin-off of 'The Walking Dead' franchise proved to be thoroughly entertaining and informative. Twitter fans too had their share of opinions about the upcoming series.

"The third #TWD series is a two-season limited event. 'We’re ten years in now. Ten years. And the dead still have this world.' Sounds like a group of teens are restless in their walled community and set out on their own. Damn kids will never learn," a fan wrote. "This looks good tbh" read one of the tweets and this was seconded by a few more fans who felt 'World Beyond' was worth giving a shot.

"I'm very much looking forward to their show! TWD has returned to greatness while FTWD has gone downhill to the point of becoming borderline unwatchable. I have high hopes that #TWDWorldBeyond will be a quality spinoff," a fan reckoned. The Walking Dead's ardent fans had just one question: "Will Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) make an appearance in the show?"

"Hoping there is a Rick scene," a tweet read. " Y'all better bring Rick back in this series," said one of the fans. "Bring Rick back already," were the common tweets. "Before you had my curiosity, now you have my attention," a fan wrote. "Robert Kirkman and another producer said some stuff about Rick's Walking Dead movie last weekend at Skybound Expo. They have good stuff planned for The Walking Dead movie they teased at the Expo," wrote one of the fans.

The comments section of the official series page on YouTube was filled with theories as well. "Honestly so from what I’ve seen this looks more like a cash grab then showing us 1 of the 3 groups that may or may not have Rick. Also, I know im wrong for this but I hope that 1 male character that’s trying to dress fancy in the apocalypse dies," one of the comments read. "This looks extremely interesting to be honest. I wonder if they'll mention anything about the original survivors? Can't wait to see," another said.
