Walkers. Lurkers. Biters. The Walking Dead has had several pet names for zombies in the decade (and change) that the franchise has existed across comics and television𒐪. Now, we can add one more to that: The Walking Dead spin-off The World Beyond will introduce another fitting nickname for the undead: Empties.

Speaking during The World Beyond's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Comic-Con 2020 panel, in which 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the new trailer debuted, showrunner Matt Negrete explained the change🌠 an﷽d how it arose from a simple question in the show's formative planning stages.

"When Scott [Gimple] and I were working on the pilot and talking about the show in general, it's always that questi🦄on of 'What do they call walkers in this corner of the universe?' I started thinking about something Robert Kirkman put in one of the comics. There was a character who also used this phrase... I just loved the term, it wꦰas 'Empties'. Basically straight up cribbing Robert Kirkman is the short answer to that!," Negrete said of the moniker, which Jesus coined in the comics.

It's not just a cool-sounding name for the shambling un♕dead, h💝owever. It all ties together with The World Beyond's more despairing outlook, especially whenit comes to one of its characters, Iris.

"The thing I really loved about it too is thematically it felt relevant to the show because Iris in the pilot is dreaming that she's dead because she essܫentially feels empty inside. It feels like there's a sort of c﷽ool parallel to that," Negrete explained.

The Walking Dead has gone supernova at this year's SDCC, not only announcing a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fear The Walking Dead season 6 r🐎elease date, but also 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Walking Dead sea𒀰son 10🦄 finale release date and an extended tenth season in early 2021. That's on top of World Beyo🍨nd also airing on October 4. That sounds far from empty.
