In the months and years following the apocalypse, Tales of the Walking Dead follows the unique lives of new and familiar characters.

A prepper (Terry Crewes) leaves his bunker and meets and unlikely ally (Olivia Munn); hostile co-workers (Parker Posey and Jillian Bell) try to escape Atlanta and each other; a mother (Samantha Morton) must revisit her violent past to protect her child; a settler (Poppy Lui) tries to convince a scientist (Anthony Edwards) that people need to take back the land from the dead; a man (Jessie T. Usher) wakes up with no memory, only to find he is accused of murder; and a traumatised couple (Danielle Pineda and Danny Ramirez) seek refuge in a secluded house.
