The Walking Dead spin-off shows

Three spin-off shows are set to premiere in 2023 and 2024, including one centered on Morgan's villainous character Negan. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will focus on the eponymous character's journey back home. Cohan and Morgan will appear in The Walking Dead: Dead City, where their respective characters head to Manhattan to rescue Maggie's son Hershel. Lincoln and Gurira are set to reprise their past roles as Rick and Michonne in an untitled show centered on their characters.

Scott M. Gimple, the former showrunner of The Walking Dead, recently shared insights on the development process for the upcoming project. "We're deeply involved in the project and work on it every day," he stated.

The Walking Dead TV series is an adaptation of the popular comic book series with the same title, originally created by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard.

Discover a thrilling post-apocalyptic world where a group of survivors fights to stay alive in the midst of a zombie outbreak. Developed by Frank Darabont, this gripping series debuted on AMC on Halloween in 2010.
