With The Walking Dead coming to an end after 11 seasons, it’s time to look to the future to see what lies ahead for the expanded universe of The Walking Dead.
Fear The Walking Dead Season 8:
Well the first project we can look ahead at is the first spin-off to come out of this universe. Season 8 of fear has been filming for several months now and is expected to release early next year. Obviously season 8 brings the return of Maddison Clarke who we saw in the finale of season 7, as she teams up with Morgan Jones to take down Padre. The show runners have promised a big shake up this season with production moving to Georgia and having the ordinal lead return. The question is how much longer this spinoff will continue to live on for now we are entering a new era of the universe.
The Walking Dead: Dead City
One of the newest spin-offs is Dead City. This show will follow Maggie and Negan as they go to Manhattan for some unknown reason. In the finale of The Walking Dead Maggie said that there was still a lot out there and it was their job to find out what it was. This could set up Maggie going to find out what has happened in Manhattan and her finding trouble. Also in the finale Maggie said she could forgive Negan but didn’t want to hate him anymore. Negan also feels like he needs to protect Maggie as he took Glenn and now regrets it. This could explain why he goes with her as he feels it’s his duty to protect her. This show is set to premier in April 2023.
The Walling Dead: Daryl Dixon
The most controversial show out of all of the spin-offs announced is the Daryl show. This is as it was originally meant to be a joint show with Mellisa Mcbride’s Carol, but for unknown reasons she dropped out. The Daryl show is going to take place in Paris with Daryl somehow ending their while he is on a search for Rick and Michonne. Not much else is known about this as it has only been shooting for few weeks and the big question is how the hell did Daryl end up in Paris in the first place. However both Reedus and Mcbride have teased the continuation of Daryl and Carols story together so it is safe to see we will see Daryl and Carol cross paths again at some point. It is expected to air in the summer of 2023.
The Walking Dead: Rick and Michonne
This is the spin-off most people are excited about. It sees the return of Rick Grimes and Michonne who have been vacant on the show for a while. In the last scenes of The Walking Dead finale it’s showed Rick desperately trying to get back to his family and Michonne on her way to find him. This has been described as an epic love story as they fight to be reunited with each other. The show is expected to start production in early 2023 and air in the fall of 2023.
These are the spin-off shows in development right now but don’t be surprised if more come in the future. Tales of The Walking Dead aired it first season this summer but no news has been given regarding a season 2 yet.
Are you going to stick with The Walkingd Dead Universe and watch the spin-offs or have you called it quits after the finale of The Walking Dead?
