Now, AMC has confirmed The Walking Dead: Dead City will be returning for season 3. Seth Hoffman, a former co-executive producer and writer for The Walking Dead, will be replacing Eli Jorné as showrunner. Hoffman's credits include episodes from seasons 4 through 6 of the original show, including "Too Far Gone" and "JSS."
Filming for Dead City season 3 begins in fall 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. The next installment will focus on Maggie and Negan trying to build a new community in Manhattan while working together. However, chaotic events in the city will lead them to wonder if they can really heal from their past and create something good.
What Dead City Season 3's Renewal Means For The Show
A New Beginning For Maggie & Negan
Based on the description for season 3, it seems like Dead City's core characters will be trying to offer some light in the darkness of Manhattan. However, with enemies like the Dama and New Babylon across the city, Maggie and Negan will need to play it smart if they want to survive.
For now, nothing specific is known about how Maggie and Negan plan to rebuild the city. It's also unclear if season 3's episode count will be six, like season 1, or eight, like season 2. No matter how long it needs to tell its story, it seems like Dead City season 3 will be furthering Maggie and Negan's shaky alliance.
Our Take On The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3's Renewal
A Good Sign For The Spinoff's Future
With Dead City season 3 now confirmed, it sounds like Maggie and Negan's roles across Manhattan are going to be expanding heavily. Since they'll be trying to put together a new group that can withstand the city's chaos, they're likely going to find it difficult to pick up the pieces from the season 2 finale.
But, if the pair can finally put aside their differences and actually heal together, they might be able to build something safe. Whether this can also help Maggie convince Hershel to leave the Dama's side is unclear. Since The Walking Dead: Dead City's new direction is promising, though, it could turn plenty of allegiances on their heads.
