- Every month, TV Time provides Business Insider with the five most anticipated new TV shows.
- October includes Hulu's "Helstrom" and AMC's "Walking Dead: World Beyond."
AMC's "The Walking Dead" is ending with its next season, its 11th. But the franchise isn't done yet.
"The Walking Dead: World Beyond," which follows a group of young survivors who grew up in the zombie apocalypse, debuts in October.
Another comic-inspired series, "Helstrom," also debuts next month on Hulu. The series stars a Marvel Comics character, though Marvel branding is largely absent from this dark horror series.
