A jaw-dropping set was created for the first season of the series in downtown Hopewell in August of 2019. That is when a production team dressed and decorated Hopewell Street between East Poythress and East Cawson to look like the aftermath of a plane crash.
"The Walking Dead: World Beyond," which had the working title of "Monument," tells the story of two young women and will “focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the franchise’s apocalyptic realm,” the network said in a release.
The series, which debuted on AMC in October of 2020, is the second series for the network to film in Virginia, following in the footsteps of the critically acclaimed Revolutionary War spy drama TURN: Washington’s Spies, which filmed in Virginia from 2013–2017.
