Walking Dead fans are in for a treat in 2025. Not only will The Walking Dead: Dead City premiere in May, but the Norman Reedus-led The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will debut its third season later this year. Recently, newly cast Dead City actor Kim Coates shared some interesting news regarding Reedus' travel series, Ride with Norman Reedus, that will excite fans even more.
Coates, well-known for his roles in Sons of Anarchy and American Primeval, was announced for the second season of Dead City in April 2024. He joins last season's impressive list of newcomers, including Gaius Charles, Željko Ivanek, Lisa Emery, and more. Coates has been cast as the brilliant and manipulative Bruegel, leader of the most notorious gang in Manhattan.
One of Coates' most recent Instagram posts features an image of the actor with Reedus with the caption "Worlds collide. Thanks for having me brother. #RIDES7 coming soon." This is exciting news, as AMC has yet to announce the series renewal.
Upon further investigation, 13WMAZ from Macon, Georgia, has confirmed that Reedus and Coates were sighted on March 15, along with a film crew, at the Society Garden in Ingleside Village stadium. Reedus was seen enjoying himself and waving at his fans. The Society Garden hosted their annual Grilled Cheese Fest, but it is uncertain if the duo attended.
Below is a video a fan captured of the actors interacting with fans. Note the cameraman behind them which led people to believe they were filming for the travel series. Coates social media post confirms the suspension.
Ride with Norman Reedus
AMC premiered Ride with Norman Reedus in 2016. The series follows Reedus, who hosts, and a celebrity guest as they travel new destinations on motorcycles and they seek to learn more about local bike culture, and meet some very interesting locals.
Many notable guests have accompanied Reedus on his journeys. Walking Dead actors Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Andrew Lincoln, Steven Yeun, Melissa McBride, Michael Rooker, Ryan Hurst, and TWD SFX guru Greg Nicotero appeared in the series.
One fan-favorite episode was featured in season 6, when avid motorcyclist and actor Keanu Reeves joined Reedus on an adventure through Utah. Among the highlights of the episode was Reedus and Reeves enjoying coffee and conversation at one of the state's most unique natural features, the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Watch for more news regarding Ride with Norman season 7. The first 6 seasons of the series is streaming on AMC+.
