Ahead of the show's New York City Comic-Con panel this Saturday, AMC has debuted a batch of first-look images for its new THE WALKING DEAD spinoff series.

Here's the official synopsis for the upcoming tale of post-apocalyptic survival:
The third installment of the franchise will feature two young female protagonists and focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse as we know it. Some will become heroes. Some will become villains. In the end, all of them will be changed forever. Grown-up and cemented in their identities, both good and bad.

When the new series was first announced, David Madden, president of programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios was eager to share his excitement for introducing yet another faction of THE WALKING DEAD's now-iconic brand. “We’re thrilled that the Dead will keep walking into a new corner of the post-apocalyptic world, a corner that will present stories and characters unlike any that The Walking Dead has dramatized thus far, and that is bound to excite one of the most passionate fan bases in television,” said Madden. “Scott has been an invaluable leader for the Universe since taking on the role of chief content officer, with a distinct and innovative vision for the franchise. Likewise, we’re excited to have Matt, who has been a crucial part of The Walking Dead family for over five years and penned many memorable episodes of TWD, at the helm of this original series,” he added.
