'The Walking Dead' third spinoff series gets official title, Julia Ormond cast as series regular

The spinoff show is based in a distant version from the beginning of the apocalypse, which shows the lives of the end of the world's first generation to have grown up with zombies.

Here's some news for 'The Walking Dead' fans. In the middle of airing the 10th season mid-finale, the new title for the upcoming third series has been announced. It has been titled 'The Walking Dead: World Beyond'. The spinoff show is based in a distant version from the beginning of the apocalypse, which shows the lives of the end of the world's first generation to have grown up with zombies. The show will begin with 10 years into the Apocalypse, where a group of teenagers will go on a thrilling journey, and this will be linked to the disappearance of Rick Grimes on 'The Walking Dead'.

The title was revealed on Sunday night in a new teaser.

Apart from this, 'The Walking Dead: World Beyond' has also officially cast Julia Ormond as a series regular. The details about the role have been scant, but Ormond is expected to play the leader of one of the three major communities, which will become a factor as the universe of 'The Walking Dead' grows, following Rick's disappearance in Season 9 of the flagship series. Ormund's character is seen in the teaser of the new show, accompanied by black-suit soldiers, who had appeared in Season 5 of 'Fear The Walking Dead'.

“We are thrilled to have Julia join our merry band. I’m grateful for the talent, grace, intelligence, and humor she has brought to our set, our show and to this role. We — and the audience — are very lucky to have Julia helping bring this new world of 'The Walking Dead’ to life,” said 'The Walking Dead' chief content officer Scott Gimple.

Ormund is known for her role in the film 'The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button', and 'Legends of The Fall' and 'My Week With Marilyn'. 'The Walking Dead' airs Sunday, 9 pm on AMC.
