As with other ''Walking Dead'' content, the series is set AfterTheEnd during a global ZombieApocalypse. However, in a first for the franchise, the series is constructed in an [[GenreAnthology anthology format]] with each episode telling a different story and having a different tone. Producers have likened it to staples of the genre such as ''Series/TheTwilightZone'' and ''Series/BlackMirror''.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: the episodes that toy with fantastical elements have handled them in this manner. For instance, the two participants in the groundhog day loop of episode two, the PointyHairedBoss and BeleagueredAssistant receptionist of a small insurance office, [[DiscussedTrope openly speculate at multiple points]] that the looping is [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness simply their addled perception of events]] as their existing personality conflict collides with their traumatic last day of normal life.

** "Amy; Dr. Everett" ends with [[spoiler:Amy and her group being killed by walkers, and Everett clearly miserable that he has gotten what he wanted in being left alone.]]

* CerebusSyndrome: The first two episodes of Season 1 are DenserAndWackier and LighterAndSofter as well, with the first episode having an unambiguously positive ending and the second having a light, zany tone for most of its' screentime. Then the third episode reintroduces Dee, the future Alpha, with the episodes growing darker and returning to the franchise's usual, grimmer tone.



* DenserAndWackier: The first two episodes of Season 1 feature much more comedy than is usual for the franchise.

Alpha's episode aired, so it's not speculation anymore


* GivenNameReveal: Promotional pictures for the first season reveal that Alpha's real name is Dee. Although this was hinted in Season 9 of the original series when she adapted the name "Deborah" while going undercover at the Kingdom fair, meaning "Dee" is likely a nickname.

%%No citation, Speculation* SavedByCanon: There's no chance of Alpha dying here since we know from the original series that she will eventually [[spoiler:get her throat slashed by Negan]].
* RuderAndCruder: The pilot episode features three uncensored uses of the word “fuck”, whereas to date the mothership show only had one in the Season 11 episode “Trust”.
* TimeShiftedActor: As Creator/CassadyMcClincy is too old to conceivably play Lydia in her preteens, she is instead portrayed by Scarlett Blum, who played the younger Lydia in flashback scenes from the parent series’ “We Are the End of the World”.
