AMC Networks has done an incredible job in the creation of several spinoffs of The Walking Dead. The TV universe is based on the comic written by Robert Kirkman and consists of the flagship series and six spinoffs, with more to come, as teased by TWD Chief Content Officer Scott M. Gimple.
in 2025, AMC will release new seasons of two of its most popular series, The Walking Dead: Dead City and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. These series are direct sequels to the main series which concluded in Nov. 2022.
Dead City will debut its second season on AMC and AMC+ on May 4, 2025. The eight-part season continues the stories of fan favorites Maggie Rhee (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).
If you haven't watched season one of Dead City or need a rewatch, the series is now available to stream on Netflix. The series is included in an overall deal between the streamer and AMC, which features many of the network's original series on Netflix.
Dead City season 1
The first season of The Walking Dead: Dead City begins several years after the events of the main series conclusion. Maggie finds herself in a difficult position as she needs to enlist the help of her husband's killer, Negan, to rescue her son Hershel (Logan Kim).
This leads the duo on a mission to the island of Manhattan, which is inhabited by the dead and denizens who have turned the once bustling city into a place of danger, beauty, and terror.
Dead City greatly expands TWDU taking the story away from Georgia, Virginia, and Ohio, where they main series was set into a new urban setting. The series introduces many new character including The Croat (Željko Ivanek) a gang leader and former Savior responsible for Hershel's abduction. The Dama (Lisa Emery) is another leader in Manhattan who has big plans for Negan's future.
The first season left many storylines with significant cliffhangers, including Negan's fate at the hands of The Dama, Maggie's difficulties with her son, and her obsession with getting revenge for her husband's brutal murder.
Watch season 1 of The Walking Dead: Dead City on Netflix and season 2 beginning May 4 on AMC and AMC+.
