‘The Walking Dead: Dead City' season 3 confirmed, with new showrunner and fresh chaos
Most notably, series creator Eli Jorné is stepping down as showrunner. Taking over is Walking Dead veteran Seth Hoffman, a writer and former co-executive producer on the original series. The move suggests AMC is looking to reinvigorate the franchise with new energy and, perhaps, a darker edge.
In season 2, Maggie came dangerously close to killing Negan, the man who brutally murdered her husband Glenn, before ultimately walking away. Season 3 will see them attempt the unthinkable: working together to build Manhattan's first thriving community since the outbreak. But AMC teases that 'chaos in the city begins to arise,' raising the question: can they really leave their past behind?
The network promises new allies, new enemies, and deeper exploration of Maggie and Negan's fragile truce. For fans, it's a twist-filled gamble that could either redeem or unravel the show's core tension.
AMC's president Dan McDermott said the new season will 'push the boundaries of Maggie and Negan's conflicted relationship,' calling the characters 'iconic' and their arc 'still full of surprises.' Whether fans will embrace this shift, especially those still haunted by Glenn's death, remains to be seen.
There's no premiere date yet, but with production slated for fall 2025, fans can expect the new episodes to drop sometime in 2026.

'Sullivan's Crossing' confirms returning cast members for season 4 amid storyline developments
As Sullivan's Crossing prepares for its fourth season, several principal cast members have been confirmed to return, while ongoing character developments raise questions about the show's future direction. The CW drama, based on Robyn Carr's novels, follows neurosurgeon Maggie (Morgan Kohan), who returns to her hometown in rural Nova Scotia. The series expanded its audience after premiering on Netflix in July 2025, following an original broadcast on CTV and The CW. Morgan Kohan will reprise her role as Maggie. Following the season 3 storyline where Liam (Marcus Rosner) reveals their unexpected marriage, her relationship with Cal (Chad Michael Murray) becomes increasingly complicated. Showrunner Roma Roth confirmed that a significant turning point will unfold at the end of the season. Chad Michael Murray also returns as Cal. Reflecting on the series, he told Parade, 'Sullivan's Crossing is a place where you go to grow and to be honest with yourself.' Scott Patterson continues his role as Sully, highlighting the collaborative nature of the series. In an earlier interview, he praised showrunner Roma Roth for encouraging actor input. 'Everybody has a platform to voice their concerns or their opinions and state their ideas,' he said. Additional returning cast includes Tom Jackson as Frank Cranebear and Andrea Menard as Edna, whose recovery from brain surgery remains central to her character arc. According to CW President Brad Schwartz, the series will continue, as there are five books in the original series, providing ample material for future seasons. Season 4 of Sullivan's Crossing is currently in production.

Why is AMC killing off 'The Walking Dead's' Daryl Dixon if his story isn't over?
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has officially been renewed for a fourth and final season, but don't bury Daryl just yet. The fan-favourite spinoff is preparing to say goodbye in its own way, with AMC hinting that Norman Reedus' crossbow-wielding antihero may live on beyond the series. Announced during the show's San Diego Comic-Con panel, the bittersweet news confirmed that Season 4 will wrap up the France-to-Spain saga of Daryl and Carol. Production is already underway in Spain, suggesting a brisk turnaround for the final eight episodes. Melissa McBride, who plays Carol, acknowledged the emotional weight of the finale but promised a worthy conclusion. 'I'm going to revel in the moments,' she said. 'We've been working in incredible locations and I'm excited for fans to see what's coming.' Season 3, set to premiere this September, will see the survivors continuing their trek back to the United States. But only two characters from Season 2 return: Daryl and Carol, further underlining their central bond, one that's kept fans invested since the original series. Norman Reedus offered a heartfelt goodbye to viewers. 'This finale isn't just an ending, it's a celebration of what we've all shared together,' he said, adding cryptically that 'Daryl's journey is far from over.' The statement has sparked speculation that future spinoffs, cameos, or even films could be in the works. Online reactions were mixed. While many lament the series' end, others suspect AMC is simply clearing the way for yet another undead resurrection of its most bankable star. Either way, the franchise refuses to stay dead, much like its walkers.
