The Walking Dead may have come to an end in 2022 after eleven seasons, but the franchise continues to live on through various spin-offs.
Based on the comic series by Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead TV universe spans seven live-action shows in total, between sequels, prequels and anthology shows.

Some of these spin-offs have already come to an end, including Fear The Walking Dead, which spanned seven seasons, the teen-orientated The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and the one-off miniseries The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.
Several shows, however, are still ongoing, so here’s a rundown of all The Walking Dead spin-offs in development.
The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3
Maggie and Negan’s spin-off was the first sequel series to The Walking Dead, which sees Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan reprise their roles.
After the show’s second season concluded in June 2025, a third season was announced a month later. Production is set to begin in Boston, Massachusetts in autumn 2025, with Seth Hoffman joining as the new showrunner.
“I’m excited to have the chance to dive back into The Walking Dead universe and work to deliver another dynamic season’s worth of stories to this epic franchise,” Hoffman said.
“It’s a true honor to chart out the next chapter for Maggie and Negan’s iconic adventures in Dead City. Lauren, Jeffrey and Scott [Gimple] are incredible creative partners and I’m thrilled to collaborate with them to bring this story to life.”
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 4
Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride return as Daryl and Carol respectively in this sequel series, which takes the post-apocalyptic drama to Europe.
AMC announced the show would return for a fourth and final season earlier this year, which will span eight episodes. Production is set to begin in autumn 2025 in Spain.
Speaking about the final run of episodes, Reedus said: “Daryl Dixon has been an incredible journey. I thank each and every fan who has joined us on this ride. It’s been a privilege to build this story for these characters, and we have so much gratitude for how it’s been embraced.
“Your love and support have made every moment worth it. This finale isn’t just an ending; it’s a celebration of what we’ve all shared together. Keep carrying that love forward — Daryl’s journey is far from over.”
More Tales From The Walking Dead Universe
Back in 2023, AMC announced a new short-form spin-off with the working title, More Tales From The Walking Dead Universe. The show was pitched as a continuation of the anthology series, Tales Of The Walking Dead, which would be overseen by Scott Gimple.
There has been no word since about the spin-off, so it’s unclear if it is still in development.
