The “The Walking Dead” spin-offs “Dead City” and “Daryl Dixon” will be continued: As “Variety” reports, both series will get a second season on AMC. The announcement was made at Comic-Con in San Diego on Friday.
“The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” starring Norman Reedus (54) is scheduled to start in September. Dead City’s extension comes ahead of the Season 1 finale, which airs July 23 in the US. Lauren Cohan (41) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (57) play the main roles Negan and Maggie in the series.
Speaking at the event, AMC CEO Dan McDermott said: “The next chapter in the ‘Walking Dead’ universe will continue to flourish with a great first season of ‘Dead City’ and fan-favorite Daryl Dixon’s highly anticipated new journey in September.”
Another spin-off series called The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, which will revolve around the characters Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln, 49) and Michonne Hawthorne (Danai Gurira, 45), has also been announced for 2024.
The Walking Dead: Dead City is about Maggie and Negan traveling to a devastated Manhattan in search of Maggie’s kidnapped son. The series also features Zeljko Ivanek (65), Gaius Charles (40), Logan Kim (16) and Karina Ortiz (31). The six-episode first season aired on June 18.
In “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon”, crowd favorite Daryl is stranded in France without knowing how and why he is there. The series follows his journey through a fractured France and the complicated connections he forges along the way. In addition to Reedus, the series also features Clémence Poésy (40), Adam Nagaitis (38), Anne Charrier (49) and Eriq Ebouaney (55). The series will be on Magenta TV later this year.
