Tales of the Walking Dead trailer reveals first look at Terry Crews and Olivia Munn in action – but you’ve been warned, this is tense viewing-Ruth Lawes-Entertainment – Metro

The very first trailer for Tales of The Walking Dead has landed and, honestly, it’s got us more excited than we were expecting.

Already Olivia Munn and Terry Crews’ characters have very different approaches to fighting for survival in the zombie apocalypse, if the new teaser is anything to go by.

Olivia’s Evie grabs a pocket knife and whips out its blade in an apparent attempt to scare off the flesh-eating creatures, while Terry’s Joe is left holding on to a slightly bemused calf.

Despite the impending doom and threat of a torturous death, the duo even find the time to crack a joke.

In one scene, Olivia, who recently gave birth to a baby son with Saturday Night Live star John Mulaney, tells Terry, 53: ‘You are part of this beautiful place.’

But the America’s Got Talent presenter quips back: ‘Beautiful?’

Glancing down at the zombie corpse splayed over the floor, Olivia responds: ‘Well, not here.’

Elsewhere in the trailer, Blair (Parker Posey), who may not be in the most suitable attire to slay some evil monsters, donning a fluffy green gilet, says: ‘Want to try something new?’

In the office with her is Sanda Dolan (Jillian Bell), sporting a tweed jacket, teases: ‘What are you thinking?’

There’s also lots of shots of zombies looking extremely menacing – we’re talking a gang of the undead with flesh falling off their bones ominously approaching what we can guess is one very unlucky victim.
