‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ and ‘The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon’ Renewed for Season 2
The Walking Dead Universe is doubling down on The Walking Dead: Dead City and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.
On Friday at San Diego Comic-Con International, AMC Networks renewed the two freshman dramas for second seasons.
The news comes ahead of the Season 1 finale of The Walking Dead: Dead City and the series debut of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.
AMC Networks announced the premiere date for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon last Friday, as previously reported. The show, starring Norman Reedus in the titular role, debuts on Sunday, September 10, at 9/8c on AMC and AMC+.
The series sees Daryl wash ashore in France and struggle “to piece together how he got there and why. The series tracks his journey across a broken but resilient France as he hopes to find a way back home. As he makes the journey, though, the connections he forms along the way complicate his ultimate plan,” per its logline.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon also stars Clémence Poésy, Adam Nagaitis, Anne Charrier, Eriq Ebouaney, Laika Blanc Francard, Romain Levi, and Louis Puech Scigliuzzi.
The Walking Dead: Dead City‘s renewal isn’t a surprise since the show debuted in June “as the #1 season premiere in the history of AMC+ in terms of viewership across as all new and returning series, including The Walking Dead, with viewership on AMC and AMC+ growing with each successive week to date,” per AMC Networks.
The show, starring Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Maggie and Negan, follows the duo in “a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror,” per its logline.
The Walking Dead: Dead City‘s Season 1 finale airs on Sunday, July 23, at 9/8c on AMC and AMC+.
“This next chapter in The Walking Dead Universe continues to thrive with a terrific inaugural season for Dead City and highly anticipated new journey for fan-favorite character Daryl Dixon coming in September,” Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Network said.
“We can’t wait to bring Dead City fans back to the epicenter of Manhattan for more zip-lining action with Maggie and Negan,” McDermott added.
“And, ahead of its debut, we’re thrilled to double down on Daryl as we bring the apocalypse to France, transforming Notre Dame, Pont du Gard, and other iconic locales into an apocalyptic landscape unlike anything we’ve seen before,” McDermott concluded.
There is more to expect from The Walking Dead Universe beyond The Walking Dead: Dead City and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon‘s renewals.
The second — and final — half of Fear the Walking Dead Season 8 returns in the Fall, and the untitled Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira-led spinoff series is set to premiere in 2024.
