The Walking Dead
Caution : spoilers ahead forWalking Dead : World Beyond
The Walking Dead ’s zombi spirit situation is bad enough in the United States , butWorld Beyond ’s series close post - credits succession paints an even bleaker picture for the rest of the world . Acrossall threeWalking DeadTV shows , it becomes painfully unmortgaged that no turning point of the U.S. or Mexico is dependable from the dreaded contagion . And as infrastructure collapses and guild crumbles , making contact with other country becomes more and more unmanageable . There are no earphone lines , aeroplane are n’t fly , and the Wi - Fi is terrible , meaning the likes of Rick Grimes have no fashion of knowing how the wider humankind is get along inThe walk Dead .
Only a light few clues have been pepper throughout the franchise ’s 10 age of existence . InThe Walking Deadseason 1 , Dr. Jenner expose the CDC had been commune with other facility across the earthly concern , but all went dingy ( with the French holding out longest).World Beyondseason 2 elaborated further when theCRM ’s Lieutenant Colonel Elizabeth Kublekclaimed that , as far as the Civic Republic are cognisant , the whole man has come down . Given their technology , resources and helicopters , the CRM are best - placed to figure out the creation ’s current status , but eventheyhaven’t made much advancement .

Now , finally , The walk Deadgives a true glimpse at the zombie outbreak elsewhere in the world , with theWorld Beyondfinale ’s post - credits chronological sequence set in a French biomedical lab . From the building ’s state of total disrepair , it ’s evident France is every bit as post - apocalyptical as the U.S. , and given the geography of mainland Europe , the entire continent has probably been ravaged by the zombi virus . The vine raise over the building also prove this scene is taking place some years intoThe take the air Dead ’s timeline- most likely in product line withWorld Beyond , a decade after the onslaught .
One major conflict between the U.S. and France , however , is that Gallic survivors ( some of them , at least ) knowexactlywhere the virus total from . The smoke man inWalking Dead : World Beyond ’s final scenery are aware which scientist are to blame for the pathogen , and his chemical group have jug many of the culprits , hit the quietus . How common is this knowledge in France ? Is the causal agency of the apocalypse an open mystery throughout Europe , or do only a small group of French survivors know the truth ? Either elbow room , their understanding is far greater than many in the U.S. ( unless , of course , the CRM knows something they are n’t separate us ) .
regrettably , it ’s not all good tidings for the repose of the world . walk drained : World Beyond ’s canyon - shaking post - credits also implies the French scientists accidentally created an evolved zombie variant while trying to produce a cure , meaning the undead are now faster and smarter than their American counterparts . The scene suggest this discrepancy has become the dominant form in France , and mayhap even further . So while U.S. survivors have been struggle to navigate dim , mindless zombies , other res publica are potentially battling teras who can run and have some likeness of intelligence . That might explain why the CRM has n’t been capable to raise communication theory with other countries - nowhere else has groups that survive these evolved zombies long enough to work up acommunity as herculean as the Civic Republic .
in conclusion , Walking drained : World Beyond ’s France scene hints the zombi virus was really a collaborative creative activity take multiple different countries . The Gallic lab ’s " Primrose " team were attending a group discussion in Ohio when the outbreak befall , and there ’s a suggestion Spain might ’ve been involved in the study also . How many other governments make love about the computer virus ? Is the CRM actively covering up U.S. involvement in the undertaking ? ThoughWalking beat : World Beyondraises many tantalizing questions , bear witness the zombie apocalypse from a European perspective is a vast step onward for the franchise .
