AMC’s “The Walking Dead” came to an end late last year, but the main show’s universe is only just getting started. With several new spinoff projects on the horizon, AMC has provided a massive update on all things “The Walking Dead” today – and Variety has the scoop.
For starters, AMC has announced that the original spinoff series, “Fear the Walking Dead,” will be coming to an end with the show’s upcoming eighth season. Season 8 will feature twelve brand new episodes, and the final season will premiere on May 14, 2023.
In Season 8 of “Fear the Walking Dead” – watch a preview below – “Morgan, Madison and the others they brought to the island are living under PADRE’s cynical rule. With our characters demoralized and dejected, the task of reigniting belief in a better world rests with the person Morgan and Madison set out to rescue in the first place — Morgan’s daughter, Mo.”
Additionally, we’ve learned that the Maggie/Negan spinoff series, “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” will premiere in June. A specific premiere date has not yet been announced.
“The Walking Dead: Dead City” follows Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean 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 Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” is also coming this year, while a limited spinoff series starring Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira will film this year and will likely debut in 2024.
In the Daryl Dixon solo show, “Daryl (Norman Reedus) washes ashore in France and struggles 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, though, the connections he forms along the way complicate his ultimate plan.”
And in the untitled Rick/Michonne series, “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?”
