The most heartbreaking deaths, zombies with flesh falling off, gunshot sounds that would certainly harm your ears, and more – if any of this sounds familiar, you might have enjoyed The Walking Dead universe at some point or another. And if so, you are entitled to financial compensation–

Okay, jokes aside, The Walking Dead universe has only expanded over the last decade and a half, with so many spinoffs it’s hard to keep track. Well, that’s what we’re here for.

Here is what you can expect from the TWD universe, and if anything will appear on the 2025 TV schedule.

The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 – Premiered May 4, 2025

The Walking Dead: Dead City premiered on June 18th, 2023. It followed the story of Maggie and Negan traveling to New York City in order to get back her kidnapped son. Now, Season 2 of the series has officially begun, with the season premiere already out.

Maggie and Negan are now on opposite sides of a war and their paths intertwine again back in Manhattan, leading to the messiness that Season 2 will bring.

Deadline confirmed that Kim Coates joined the second season as a new cast member, and there have been a few other additions to the Dead City cast that you can check out in our cast list. Season 3 hasn’t been confirmed just yet, but hopefully we’ll get more news in the coming weeks.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 – Fall 2025

Two seasons of TWD: Daryl Dixon have come and gone, and honestly Season 2 – titled The Book of Carol – was even crazier than the first, and featured an even bigger The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon cast.

And, while I enjoyed Daryl Dixon Season 2 just as much as the next person, it got me thinking about the next season. Thankfully, we already know plenty about the new chapter in Daryl and Carol’s story. Thanks to another teaser that came out with the release of the first episode of Dead City, we know that Season 3 will start airing in fall 2025. Check out the teaser below:

Watch On

AMC confirmed Season 3 will follow the friends as they try to find a way back home after letting Laurent take off with Ash to escape France. Now, they must try to survive and figure out how to see their loved ones again in a world that is completely unfamiliar to them.

Okay, so can Season 3 get here already?

You know, as someone who has watched this show since the beginning, it’s strange to think of it coming to an end after I’ve had so many memories and made friends just from watching this series. After eleven seasons, The Walking Dead came to an end, reaching its emotional finale in 2022. Now, I can happily rank all the seasons from worst to best.

With that ending came spinoffs, including other shows that have since ended, as well. Also completed are Fear The Walking Dead, which ended in November 2023, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, a two-season spinoff show that adds a lot of background information to the world, and The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, a miniseries about Rick and Michonne – however, Scott M. Gimple did say to The Direct that there could be a Season 2 of that series, so you never know. If you want to check out all three shows, here’s how:

Regardless of when these shows air, or if any return for new seasons, I’ll be watching every second of them – because I suppose I’m still infected with TWD virus, even years later. Someone please take me out of my misery (just kidding…kinda).
