Scott Gimple Hints at Future Locations and the Franchise’s Next Big Step
Summary
– Scott Gimple reveals a new Walking Dead project is in development, set in an unexplored location
– Tokyo, Africa, and Iceland are among the international settings Gimple would love to explore
– Previous expansion attempts didn’t materialize, but the vision for a global TWD universe remains strong
The Walking Dead universe could soon expand far beyond the United States and Europe, as producer Scott Gimple teases ambitious plans to take the franchise to new international locations. Speaking at the Multicon LA Wildfire Benefit, Gimple shared his desire to see the undead roam in settings like Tokyo, Africa, and Iceland.
“There’s one that we’re working on that I’m very, very excited to see that we’ve never been before,” Gimple revealed. While not confirming any specifics, he hinted at projects that didn’t fully materialize but helped shape ideas for the franchise’s future.
These comments arrive as The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 prepares for its May 4 premiere on AMC, proving that the franchise remains committed to expanding its world. While new locations offer fresh potential, the challenge lies in creating characters as compelling as fan favorites like Daryl, Carol, Rick, and Michonne.
With a new project already in the works and international expansion on Gimple’s mind, the Walking Dead universe may soon break new ground—both figuratively and geographically.
