What’s the latest The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 update?

According to AMC, The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 will return for a third season, with Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan back as Negan and Maggie, respectively. They also announced that Seth Hoffman would be joining the show as showrunner. Hoffman is no stranger to the world of The Walking Dead, having worked on the original series as a writer.

While an official release date for The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 isn’t available, we can deduce how long it might take to release. The second season was officially announced in July 2023, and didn’t premiere until May 2025. If the show keeps that same production schedule, that means Season 3 likely will arrive sometime around the middle of 2027.

In a statement on the news, AMC Studios president of entertainment Dan McDermott thanked former showrunner Eli Jorné for working on the show for two years, and teased what fans can anticipate in Season 3.

“We’re thankful to Eli Jorné for two seasons of Dead City that took the story of these iconic characters in exciting new directions and broadened this thriving Universe by introducing a new corner of the walker apocalypse,” said McDermott. “As we continue to create new stories for a passionate TWD fanbase, we’re delighted to have a seasoned Walking Dead veteran like Seth Hoffman at the helm of a new season, alongside the remarkable Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, that will bring new adversaries and alliances and push the boundaries of Maggie and Negan’s conflicted relationship.”

The spin-off is led by franchise vets Lauren Cohan as Maggie and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan, who are also executive producing with Scott M. Gimple. The cast also includes Gaius Charles, Mahina Napoleon, Željko Ivanek, Jonathan Higginbotham, Trey Santiago-Hudson, Logan Kim, and Charlie Solis.
