The Walking Dead Universe News from New York Comic Con

The Walking Dead Universe took over New York Comic Con’s Main Stage today with panels for The Walking Dead: Dead City and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol.

The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 panel featured the Walking Dead Universe Chief Content Officer Scott M. Gimple, executive producers and stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan, and cast members Gaius Charles, Željko Ivanek and Dascha Polanco and was moderated by Chris Jericho (eight-time World Champion, Terrifier 3, and New York Times bestseller).

During the panel, which debuted a new season two teaser (which you can watch below) and photography, it was announced that the highly anticipated second season will return in Spring 2025 on AMC and AMC+.

Immediately following, filmmaker Robert Rodriguez moderated a panel for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol, featuring Gimple, executive producer showrunner David Zabel, director and executive producer Greg Nicotero, executive producers and stars Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride, and cast member Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, who discussed the show’s epic second season, currently airing Sundays on AMC and AMC+.

The opening minutes of the season’s fourth episode, premiering this Sunday, October 20, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on AMC and AMC+, were shown in the room.

The Walking Dead: Dead City follows fan-favorite characters Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) as they travel into 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.

In season two, in the growing war for control of Manhattan, Maggie and Negan find themselves trapped on opposite sides. As their paths intertwine, they come to see that the way out for both is more complicated and harrowing than they ever imagined.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol picks up where season one left off, following fan-favorite characters Daryl Dixon (Reedus) and Carol Peletier (McBride). They both confront old demons while she fights to find her friend, and he struggles with his decision to stay in France, causing tension at the Nest.

Additionally, Genet’s (Anne Charrier) movement builds momentum, setting Pouvoir on a violent collision course with the Union of Hope in the fight for France’s future.
