AMC outlined a premiere timeline for its three upcoming "The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon" spinoff series, each starring major returning cast members from the now-ended show.
The first spinoff arriving will be “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” starring “TWD” vets Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, debuting in June.
AMC announced at the New York Comic-Con 2022 that the series would arrive in April, though no date was ever set. An official premiere date and time will be announced later.
“The Walking Dead: Dead City” follows Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.
The series also stars Gaius Charles, Zeljko Ivanek, Karina Ortiz, Jonathan Higginbotham, and Mahina Napoleon.
“Walking Dead” creator Scott M. Gimple, showrunner Eli Jorné, Cohan, Morgan, and Brian Bockrath serve as executive producers.
The network also disclosed that the highly-anticipated Norman Reedus-led “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” spinoff will be coming out later this year.
The series will premiere following the “Dead City".
“The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” follows Daryl (Reedus) washing ashore in France and struggling to piece together how he got there and why.
The series tracks his journey across a broken but resilient France as he hopes to find a way back home. As he makes the journey the connections he makes along the way complicate his ultimate plan.
The series will also Clémence Poésy and Adam Nagaitis. It is executive produced by Gimple, showrunner David Zabel, Reedus, Greg Nicotero, Angela Kang, Brian Bockrath, and Daniel Percival.
AMC also shared that the hotly-anticipated untitled “The Walking Dead” spinoff starring Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira is now set to go into production this year and debut in 2024.
Lincoln and Gurira reunite for the new spinoff series that presents an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world.
Kept apart by distance. By an unstoppable power. By the ghosts of who they were. Rick and Michonne are thrown into another world built on a war against the dead… And ultimately, a war against the living. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they’ve ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors? Without each other, are they even alive — or will they find that they, too, are the Walking Dead?”.
Gimple serves as showrunner and executive producer alongside Lincoln and Gurira.
AMC made the announcement on Tuesday as part of its presentation at the Television Critics Association winter press tour.
In addition, the network also announced that the final season of the “Walking Dead” companion series will end with its upcoming Season 8.
AMC also unveiled that the series would consist of 12 episodes that will roll out in two six-episode blocks.
The cast of the series includes James, Dickens, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Austin Amelio, Christine Evangelista, Karen David, Jenna Elfman, and Rubén Blades.
It is executive produced by Gimple, showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, Michael Satrazemis, and David Alpert. AMC Studios produces.
The move to end the series comes after the mothership show aired its eleventh and final season in 2022, with the series finale airing in November.
