"The Walking Dead: World Beyond" takes place a decade into the zombie apocalypse.
The limited two-season series follows a new community, the Campus Colony, in Omaha Nebraska. Unlike the previous two shows, "World Beyond" follows four teens — Hope, Iris, Elton, and Silas — who have largely grown up knowing little outside of the apocalypse.
They refer to the dead as empties and have more or less carried on with regular life (or as normal a life as one can have during the apocalypse). The series follows them as they break away from life inside the walls for the first time on a mission to find Iris and Hope's scientist father who is working with the mysterious Civic Republic Militia who we saw take Rick Grimes on "TWD."
While on the set of the third "TWD" spinoff last November, Insider spoke with six of the lead actors on the show to learn what to expect from the third series. Before its premiere on October 4, here's what they told us about their auditions, landing a role on the show, and what you need to know about their characters.
