If you’re a fan of zombies, I’m sure at one point you’ve heard of The Walking Dead. From its ever-evolving list of characters to its heartbreaking deaths, The Walking Dead has cemented itself in history as one of the leaders in primetime zombie drama.
But the world of The Walking Dead has grown. This world is far bigger than just that little group we met in the quarry in 2010.
If you’re like me and you’re looking for the next best thing that The Walking Dead world has to offer, these are all upcoming The Walking Dead TV shows and movies.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2 – The Book Of Carol – September 29th, 2024
One of the major shows we were all excited for was The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, a series that took Daryl to France, of all places, and it turns out, it was a ton of fun with a lot of sick zombie moments and a really interesting story - critics even called it "magnifique."
And now, the first season has come and gone, with its wonderful The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon cast, but Season 2 for the show is already confirmed. What's better is that this second season is going to bring in someone very close to Daryl's life - that's right, the finale set up Carol's return!
It was confirmed by The Walking Dead Twitter page that the second season would premiere on September 29th, 2024:

The second season, according to the trailer, will follow Carol trying to find Daryl, while he simultaneously struggles with his choice to stay in France.
The trailer shows us just what we’re going to get into – a story of lasting friendship, and the things that happened over time – along with the obvious amounts of zombies and more in both America and a foreign country as well. Check it out below:
The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 – 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.
Season 2 for the series is already confirmed, and there’s been a few things confirmed, like filming is going on already.
In April 2024, WPRI confirmed that filming for The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 had begun, and in May 2024, The Walking Dead X page gave us a sneak preview of filming going on, saying that the second season would come out in 2025:

Also confirmed by Deadline is that Kim Coates joined the second season of Dead City. The latest bit of news comes from San Diego Comic-Con in July 2024, where Jeffrey Dean Morgan confirmed that Lucille (Negan’s bat named after his wife) was back for Season 2 of Dead City (via Variety):
I know, I was really excited too…there’s something about that sweet girl that I love… It makes me turn into Negan.
They released another sneak preview of the upcoming series as well on YouTube, featuring some behind-the-scenes looks at the filming of Season 2 of Dead City. Check it out below:
Completed The Walking Dead Projects
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 on November 20th, 2022.
While it was upsetting to say goodbye to several characters that I'll never see again, I know that this isn't the end, because of all these spinoffs that are happening, so I'll mark this down as a "see you soon" for some of my favorite characters. And now, I can happily rank all the seasons from worst to best.
Also completed are Fear The Walking Dead, which ended in November 2023, and The Walking Dead: World Beyond, a two-season spinoff show that adds a lot of background information to the world of The Walking Dead, and The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, a miniseries about Rick and Michonne. If you want to check out all three shows, here’s how:
Stream The Walking Dead on Netflix.
Stream Fear The Walking Dead on AMC+.
Stream The Walking Dead: World Beyond on AMC+
Stream The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live on AMC+.
As a fan of The Walking Dead, I am excited to see what new stories the creators and actors plan on bringing to the world of walkers that I’ve grown up on. I’m also slightly nervous, because the last thing I want is to have too many stories all at once to keep track of.
Regardless, whenever these shows are released, I’ll be sitting in my seat with some popcorn, waiting to watch.
