The Walking Dead is over but, as we know, the end of the flagship series that’s been in fans’ hearts for over a decade doesn’t mean this world is done. The show already has six spinoff series: Fear the Walking Dead, Tales of the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, The Walking Dead: Dead City, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. Most of them are completed; however, there’s a couple that are continuing this franchise with more seasons.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season Three Is Coming in 2025
Season two of Daryl Dixon’s series wrapped up his time in France and reunited him with Carol. Laurent has a sweet plane ride to the Commonwealth; however, there wasn’t enough space for Carol and Daryl to ride with Ash. So they are off to England and Spain in a quest to find their way back to the US, which we see in this teaser trailer.
We know the next round is coming in sometime in 2025 and we can assume it will be either late Summer or Spring so it doesn’t overlap with Dead City. There’s already some news about season three of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, including the latest news that The Office creator and comedian Stephen Merchant will join the cast.
It seems the series might even get a fourth round, according to Norman Reedus during a RadioTimes interview. “We’re about to start seasons 3 and possibly 4 in Spain,” he said. “I think I’m allowed to say that. I don’t know. I just said it. But I think we’re going to Spain, to Madrid, for that.”
The Walking Dead: Dead City Season Two Will Arrive in Spring 2025
While this universe is trucking along with Daryl’s adventures, things are slower for Dead City. We’ve known that a second season was coming for a while but didn’t know the release window until now. We will get season two in 2025. Season 1 ended with Maggie trading Negan to get her son Herschel back. Now, Negan is working for The Dama, a dangerous leader in NYC. This next chapter will presumably focus on her organization and Negan’s attempts to escape… if he even wants to do that. Negan no longer has his family and really has no friends either, so he might as well crank up the evil again, right? Well that’s exactly what seems to be the case in the above Dead City season two trailer.
These first-look season two photos bring us right back into the grittiness of this series:
Here’s a synopsis for Dead City‘s second season:
In season two, in the growing war for control of Manhattan, Maggie and Negan find themselves trapped on opposite sides. As their paths intertwine, they come to see that the way out for both is more complicated and harrowing than they ever imagined.
In The Walking Dead: Dead City season two’s latest clip, Negan speaks and says that “power is power” as Maggie ends up returning to NYC at some point. We know that he’s working in Dama and he seems to be having a good time banging his new Lucille against a table. Oh dear…
And, you gotta love these new photos from season two:
Anywho, season two will bring new faces into the mix. Deadline reports that Sons of Anarchy alum Kim Coates will join Dead City‘s cast as Bruegel, the leader of a fierce NYC gang.There are also a few other new cast members joining The Walking Dead: Dead City in season two. I particularly love Dascha Polanco.
- Keir Gilchrist (Atypical, It Follows), in the role of “Benjamin Pierce”
- Dascha Polanco (Orange Is the New Black, Poker Face), in the role of “Major Lucia Narvaez”
- Jake Weary (Oh, Canada, How to Blow Up a Pipeline), in the role of “Christos”
- Pooya Mohseni (Law & Order: SVU, See You Then), in the role of “Roksana”
The Walking Dead‘s Potential Spinoff Crossover Event and The Ones Who Live‘s Future
As fans know, Rick Grimes was supposed to get three movies, but now it is the limited series alongside Michonne. The Ones Who Live is meant to wrap up their storylines; however, Gimple says there might be more story to tell. “Anything is possible…,” he said to Deadline. “We’re focused on this one right now. But this one came together in a really amazing way, where there were all sorts of plans. And then the world changed and we altered those plans.”
We obviously know now (and honestly always knew) that Rick did not die in his spinoff. He got to reunite with Judith and meet Rick, Jr., but there are so many reunions that need to happen. Morgan is out there looking for Rick, Daryl will eventually return to the US, and there’s the rest of his found family back home along with Laurent in the Commonwealth. All signs seem to be pointing to a crossover event, which Gimple wants to happen.
“I do have dreams of merging this all together, and I have laid little breadcrumbs toward that, but you never know exactly when and how [it will come together], because of a variety of reasons,” he told TVLine. As long as The Walking Dead franchise is getting money and attention from fans, it will surely keep making more spinoff content. That’s fine with us but please, please don’t follow the comics and kill Rick Grimes if you bring him back in the future.
With Norman Reedus wanting to play Daryl Dixon for several more years, it wouldn’t be shocking if he crossed into some future spinoff series. I wouldn’t mind a Daryl and Connie miniseries. Perhaps he will somehow come across Maggie and/or Negan in their show. Or, maybe he will be the gateway to introduce us to a new character to follow. A crossover event would likely put him front and center as one of this universe’s leading men.
A lot is happening in The Walking Dead universe and there will surely be more details about other spinoffs if they happen. There’s plenty left to explore in the land of the dead, so let’s keep walking right towards these spinoffs.
