‘The Walking Dead’: All Upcoming Spin-Offs So Far – The Mary Sue

Whether you hate it or love it, The Walking Dead is going to be milked til every last drop is collected. What does that mean? Well, like a zombie apocalypse, this one show is continuing to create new shows far and widewe cant control it, we cant stop itand all we can do is run and hide. Or, you know, it also means that those fans who love the TWD universe wont be disappointed.

As of right now, there are four upcoming spin-offs. Plus, Fear the Walking Dead was renewed for an 8th season. There will be no lack of zombies on your screen anywhere, anytime, soon. And who knows if any other spin-offs will be conjured up after the main show ends this October.

Now, lets get to the juicy details about the planned spin-offs!

Premiere date: August 14th

This six-episode anthology mini-series will focus on new characters and two characters we already know. Each episode will be its own storywith a different protagonist each time. Which, as weve seen with American Horror Stories, may be hit or miss. But nevertheless, it sounds pretty interesting. And the trailer promises a lot of gore, as well as familiar actors.

Confirmed cast members:

Anthony Edwards as Dr Everett, Parker Posey as Blair, Jillian Bell as Gina, Terry Crews as Joe, Olivia Munn as Evie, Poppy Liu as Amy, Danny Ramirez as Eric, Daniella Pineda as Idalia, Jessie T. Usher as Devon, Samantha Morton as Dee/ Alpha and Scarlett Blum as Lydia, Loan Chabanol, Embeth Davidtz, Gage Munroe, Lauren Glazier, and Matt Medrano.

Premiere date: TBA 2023 date

Its no exaggeration when I say that Daryl (Norman Reedus) is a major fan favorite. His character development is visible and even if youre not a big fan of him, that cant be diminished. Daryl went from being ignorant and following the lead of his horrible brother, to forming a found family. This spin-off was meant to be Daryl and Carol (Melissa McBride). But due to the series being filmed in Europe (for whatever reason), Melissa had to back out for logistical reasons. Not much is known plot-wise about the series yet. Its slated to debut in 2023, and since season 11 isnt over yet, who knows why Daryl goes off on his own.

Premiere date: TBA 2023 date

Surprised or still confused that a six-episode spin-off involving these two is happening? Thats a valid response, I think! The spin-off will focus on Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) who travel to Manhattan, which has been cut off from the mainland. The Walking Dead has forced Maggie and Negan to work together. And even form what can be considered a civil arrangement. Even though Maggie has always vocally expressed her hate for Negan after he killed Glenn (Steven Yeun) in the season 7 premiere. Both of these characters are loved, dont get me wrong, but a spin-off? Well see if it proves to be any good.

Confirmed cast: Gaius Charles as Perlie Armstrong, Mahina Napoleon, eljko Ivanek, Jonathan Higginbotham, Karina Ortiz as Amaia, and Caleb Reese Paul as Wesley.

Premiere date: TBA 2023 date

The departure of their characters left a strange energy in the show. Its hard to imagine the series ending without Rick (Andrew Lincoln) or Michonne (Danai Gurira). Though with the news about this limited series (which will replace the Rick Grimes movies), fans of them and their relationship are excited. Hopefully, itll make Michonne having left the kids to go find Rick worth it. Rather than feel sooff? Not much in terms of the plot has been revealed about the series, but we know Robert Kirkman will be involved and itll take place after the events of What Comes Next (Season 9 Episode 5) and What We Become (Season 10 Episode 13).
