Who is getting a spinoff from The Walking Dead?
By Renee Hansen
The Walking Dead series aired on AMC for 12 years ending with 177 episodes. During that time, many characters were introduced to the storyline, and along the way, many were lost. By the final season, many favorites were still standing, and several of these characters’ stories will continue in the form of spinoff series. Which characters can fans expect to see in the new series?
Maggie Rhee (née Greene) – portrayed by Lauren Cohan, Maggie will see her story carry on in The Walking Dead: Dead City, which will be the first direct spinoff of the main series. This series will see her son Hershel abducted and taken to the island of Manhattan, which is overrun by millions of walkers and a new group of enemies and hopefully some allies.
Negan Smith – portrayed by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Negan will join Maggie in Dead City, and the pair will join forces to rescue Hershel. The teaser shows that not only is Negan a wanted man, but he is also, according to Maggie, the key to recovering her son. Dead City will premiere in June 2023.
The actors of Dead City have teased that other familiar faces could appear, but no announcements to this effect have occurred.
