The Walking Dead: Dead City

The Walking Dead: Dead City returns for its third season, with AMC's spinoff following Maggie Rhee and Negan Smith as they attempt to rebuild Manhattan in the walker-infested aftermath. Seth Hoffman takes over as showrunner, bringing his experience as a writer and co-executive producer from the original Walking Dead series. Production wrapped in Massachusetts in January 2026, with filming taking place primarily in Boston, Worcester, and Brockton standing in for post-apocalyptic New York. The eight-episode season marks a creative shift for the franchise, featuring an alternate-reality episode and a narrative that moves Maggie and Negan from enemies to reluctant allies building a new community. Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan return to star, joined by new cast additions including Jimmi Simpson, Raúl Castillo, and Aimee Garcia. The season premieres July 26, 2026 on AMC and AMC+.
