Post-production on the season 10 finale is on indefinite delay; filming dates for season 11 are canceled. Meanwhile, the premiere of TWD spinoff series The Walking Dead: World Beyond has been pushed to the end of the year, and though Fear the Walking Dead season 6 is still set to debut in the summer, Forbes reports that the second half of the upcoming season may need to air in the back half of the year.

The Walking Dead has partnered up with the streaming service Pluto TV to deliver the first 5 seasons of the hit horror series to fans for free.
