Walking Dead: Dead City centers on Lauren Cohan’s Maggie and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan, as they travel into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, which descended into anarchy and terror. The six-episode series premiered back in June, while The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is yet to see the light of day and it will center on Norman Reedus’s titular hero from the original series.

Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks announced the renewal of both shows and said they’re the reason why this next chapter in the Walking Dead Universe continues to thrive.

“We can’t wait to bring Dead City fans back to the epicenter of Manhattan for more zip-lining action with Maggie and Negan. And, ahead of its debut, we’re thrilled to double down on Daryl as we bring the apocalypse to France,” said McDermott in a statement.

The Walking Dead ended its run last year after 11 seasons, and it already produced spinoffs Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and Tales of the Walking Dead.

Just in case you were dreading where to get your zombie fix once the series wraps up, AMC has your back. 

The network has given the green light to yet another spin-off, titled Tales of the Walking Dead that will feature one hour-long standalone episodes. Six episodes have been ordered so far. 

“This series, more than any other in the Walking Dead Universe, runs on new voices, perspectives, and ideas — bringing to life stories unlike any we’ve told before,” stated Scott M. Gimple who is the Chief Content Officer of the Walking Dead Universe.

Two spin-offs of the post-apocalyptic drama already exist, with another focusing on Daryl and Carol, and an anthology series, already in the works.

The 11th and final season of The Walking Dead premiered in August and is set to conclude its 24-episode run in 2022.

The trailer for season 11 has tons of zombie action while featuring fan favorites like Daryl, Carol, Maggie, Gabriel, Ezekiel, and Negan as well as the villainous Reapers and Commonwealth. At one point, Maggie’s wearing a Whispers mask and we see Yumiko in Commonwealth armor.

Season 11 is set to premiere on August 22 and will consist of 24 episodes airing in three parts. Parts two and three will air in 2022.

Joining as Season 11 regulars are Laila Robins, Josh Hamilton, Margot Bingham, and Michael James.

The show was set to premiere in 2020 but was delayed due to the pandemic. Instead, six additional episodes considered part of Season 10 were aired.

“Obviously the pandemic changed a lot of how we had to do everything, but it was really fun to do these focused, intimate episodes for [Season] 10C. Season 11, we’re going to go out with a bang. We’re back to our big, scopey, massive extravaganzas with lots of great character interactions between the people we love…Season 11 we kind of go in hard with some new stories and new characters. I’m really excited to share it with the audience when it’s time,” Angela Kang said at Comic-Con.

Season 11 of the show will air over two years and will consist of 24 episodes that will begin in late 2021. Previously it was announced that an additional six episodes would be added to Season 10 and that they’ll be shot and aired in early 2021. The episode that was supposed to be the Season 10 finale is set to air on October 4.

The spinoff is still untitled and it will star Norman Reedus’ Daryl and Melissa McBride’s Carol, who are also the only two characters who’ve been in the show since Season 1.

The show is co-created by The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang and Scott Gimple, the former series showrunner and the chief content officer of The Walking Dead universe. Kang will also serve as showrunner for the spinoff, which will debut in 2023, and plot details are still unknown.

“I look forward to digging in with our brilliant writers, producers, directors, cast and crew to bring this epic final chapter of Robert Kirkman’s story to life for our fans over the next two years,” said Kang.

“‘The Walking Dead’ flagship series has been my creative home for a decade and so it’s bittersweet to bring it to an end, but I could not be more excited to be working with Scott Gimple and AMC to develop a new series for Daryl and Carol. Working with Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride has been a highlight of my career and I’m thrilled that we get to keep telling stories together.”

In other Walking Dead news, Gimpe is currently developing an episodic anthology series titled Tales of the Walking Dead which will feature one-off episodes with new and existing characters in The Walking Dead universe.

AMC also has the companion series Fear the Walking Dead, which is set to air its sixth season on October 11. The Walking Dead: World Beyond, about the first generation during the zombie apocalypse, will air on October 4 after The Walking Dead.

AMC’s still airing the aftershow Talking Dead hosted by Chris Hardwick. AMC and Universal Pictures are working on a series of feature films about Rick Grimes played by Andrew Lincoln.

Lincoln starred as the show’s protagonist for eight years. He is one of the show’s most well-loved zombie-fighting characters and when he left the show in season nine, fans were pretty disappointed.

Now, Gimple has confirmed that Rick Grimes will be returning in the trilogy of Walking Dead movies. The franchise will pick up on Rick’s story from where the TV series left off. Lincoln will be reprising his role as the core TWD character.

Speaking to ComicBook.com, Gimple revealed that Lincoln is very involved in the production process. He said: “He throws around the football with the rest of us. He’s very, very invested in this thing.” He then added: “I got to tell you, [Lincoln’s] itching to get back, too. We all are.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Gimple revealed that the film trilogy will invite new fans while also honoring those who have invested in the series.

“We have to honor people who have invested the time in their lives in the show,” he explained. “But we can’t do that at the expense of inviting everybody. I think those things can work together… Rick has a history and the history will be present within him and it’ll be a big part of who he is.”

He added: “But it’s likely going to be a very different Rick that we see as well.”

The Walking Dead movie has no set release date.

In The Walking Dead, Bingham previously played Stephanie, a character that she did the voiceover for in Season 10 episodes “Bonds” and “Morning Star.” Stephanie, a survivor of the zombie outbreaks in Charleston, West Virginia, connects via radio with Josh McDermitt’s Eugene Porter, who she crushes on.

AMC hasn’t commented on who Bingham will play, but she’ll probably be returning as Stephanie.

When The Walking Dead ended its season before airing the planned finale, Eugene Porter was on his way to meet a mystery woman with Ezekial, Yumiko, and Princess. If Stephanie is the same character as in the comics for which the series is based on, she’ll be the introduction to the Commonwealth, the mega-community that’s the focus of the Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel series.

Bingham’s other TV roles include Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have It, New Amsterdam, One Dollar, and Boardwalk Empire. Her film credits include Tigertail, Barbershop: The Next Cut, and Saturday Church.

Gurira made her last appearance on this show in the most recent episode, “What We Become”, and described her departure as peaceful, beautiful, sad, and gratifying.

“I had gratitude for how they allowed me to exit the show and how well they’d taken care of the character. I had gratitude for how much I got to do, and how I got to exit in a way that honored the character and gave her an ability to be true to herself,” the actress told Deadline.

Danai Gurira joined The Walking Dead in 2012, and her star has been on the rise ever since. She found success as a playwright with her Tony-nominated play Eclipsed and became familiar to the international audiences thanks to the role of Okoye in Black Panther and several other MCU films.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond will focus on the first generation to come-of-age in the post-apocalyptic world this franchise introduced us to. It will be set ten years after the beginning of the apocalypse and center on two young female protagonists. Ormond is taking the role of a charismatic leader of a large, sophisticated, and formidable force.

The actress is excited to join this franchise. “I’m so thrilled to be working with The Walking Dead team – I absolutely love how they write for women in particular; a lovely, talented cast and great to be back with AMC,” Ormond, who previously played a supporting role on Mad Men, said.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond is expected to premiere in spring 2020, and the cast will include Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, Aliyah Royale, Annet Mahendru, and Nico Tortorella.

The network also confirmed that Lauren Cohan will return as a series regular in the new season. Cohan stars as Maggie Greene on The Walking Dead, which is based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman. 

“It’s amazing to be on a show that has run this long. It’s such a blessing. It’s such a testament to all the people who worked on it and made it happen, and the fans who come along the journey with us,” said showrunner Angela Kang.

“We’re always trying to think, as we’re working on stories, where this might go in the future. So, we are always thinking a season or two ahead, but just loosely like more in terms of what’s a part of this person? And how might they change over time? And sometimes those plans change along the way, but it just it gives us opportunity to just really think in a deeper way about where some of these plot lines that we’re working on now are going. That’s really a great thing for creative process.”

Of Cohan’s casting, she added: “It’s worked out and we couldn’t be more thrilled. I think [Maggie] is a really compelling character. And Lauren is such a compelling actress.”

Kirkman created the comic book series on which the popular TV show of the same name was based. His comics revolved around the show’s protagonist, Rick Grimes, who awoke in a zombie apocalypse and relentlessly fought for a better world.

In the penultimate issue of the comics, Rick is shot to death by one of the weaker characters, Sebastian Milton. He comes back as a zombie before being killed for a second and final time.

Fans were in two minds about the divisive ending. For some, this seemed like an unfair way to kill of the series’ protagonist. Now, Kirkman has revealed why he chose such an anticlimactic fate for Rick Grimes.

Speaking to Comicbook.com at The Walking Dead season 10 premiere, he said: “Rick Grimes fixed the world to the point where he was so safe that he could be killed by the weakest character in the book. It’s a statement on how good of a job he did.”

He added: “At no point in the history of the comic could he have been killed that way. It wasn’t until the very end that he was able to relax.”

Season 10 of The Walking Dead premieres on AMC October 6.
