'The Walking Dead' now has 6 spin-off shows. Here they all are.
"The Walking Dead" ended an 11-season run in 2022 but has spawned many spin-off series.
A Daryl Dixon show just ended its first season. The final episodes of "Fear TWD" will start in October.
One more show, a Rick and Michonne series, will premiere next year.
The final six episodes of "Fear the Walking Dead" will premiere in October with the return of an old face.
Following a completely different group of survivors who started off in California, "Fear TWD" is currently in production on its eighth season.
Morgan (Lennie James), Dwight (Austin Amelio), and Sherry (Christine Evangelista) from "The Walking Dead" all crossed over at various points on the spin-off.
Most recently, the series welcomed back Kim Dickens after the show seemingly killed her protagonist, Madison, off years ago. So far, the show's final season has followed the mysterious PADRE group and appeared to act as a send-off for James, Amelio, and Evangelista.
Confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con, the show's final six episodes will commence on October 22 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC and AMC+. The teaser showed the return of another character long thought dead, Troy (Daniel Sharman), as he confronts Madison and Victor Strand (Colman Domingo).
Maggie and Negan have their own show called "The Walking Dead: Dead City."
Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan also have their own six-episode spinoff series.
Originally called "Isle of the Dead," the show follows the unlikely pair as they travel to "a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland" in search of Maggie's missing son, Hershel.
Fans were initially surprised by the news since it pairs Maggie back with the character who famously killed her husband, Glenn, on "The Walking Dead."
Filmed in both New Jersey and New York, the show features "the country's largest herd of zombies," including landmarks ranging from the Statue of Liberty to the Lincoln Tunnel and the Empire State Building.
"Dead City" premiered on June 18 on AMC and AMC+ with the season one finale airing July 23. The show was renewed for a second season ahead of its finale.
"The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon," starring Norman Reedus, premiered in September.
"The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon" was originally supposed to feature Daryl (Norman Reedus) and bestie Carol (Melissa McBride) with "TWD" showrunner Angela Kang set to oversee the spin-off.
AMC previously confirmed to Insider in a statement that Melissa McBride departed the upcoming spin-off. According to the network, "relocating to Europe became logistically untenable for Melissa at this time."
With the series moving abroad, Kang now only serves as an executive producer with David Zabel as the showrunner.
"The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon" will follow Daryl as he mysteriously washes ashore in Paris, France, and "struggles to piece together how he got there and why" on his journey to get home.
During an October 2022 appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", Reedus teased, "I don't go there on my free will."
"We'll, like, destroy the Louvre and stuff. It's gonna be nuts," Reedus said of the iconic art museum.
The show debuted on AMC and AMC+ on September 10. It has already been renewed for a second season where McBride will reprise her role after guest-starring on season one.
The second season is being referred to as "The Book of Carol."
Michonne and Rick are returning to the "TWD" universe in their own show in February 2024.
Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira surprised fans at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 to announce their return to the universe. The actors left the series on seasons nine and 10, respectively.
Initially, Rick's journey was set to continue in a trilogy of movies.
According to a 2022 press release, the Michonne and Rick series will "begin with six episodes," making it seem like there's potential for their "epic love story" to be more than a limited series.
Lincoln and Gurira will serve as executive producers on the series with "The Walking Dead" chief content officer Scott M. Gimple serving as showrunner.
At 2023's San Diego Comic-Con, AMC revealed the official name of the series will be "The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live" along with the show's first teaser trailer.
Lincoln and Gurira will be joined by Pollyanna McIntosh, who's reprising her role as Jadis on the spin-off. Terry O'Quinn ("Lost") will play the mysterious General Beale of the Civic Republic Military, which has been holding onto Rick for years.

"The Walking Dead: World Beyond" finished its two-season run in 2021.
Taking place a decade into the zombie apocalypse, the limited series shed more light on the Civic Republic Military, the mysterious group who took Rick (Andrew Lincoln) away on season nine of "TWD" in a helicopter along with Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh).
Star Nico Tortorella previously told Insider that "World Beyond" would help connect to the Rick Grimes' movies, which will now be a series.
Though the show never hinted at Rick's whereabouts, McIntosh reprised her role as Jadis on the show's final season as a leader of the CRM.
In doing so, the show may have subtly hinted that the group will have a future showdown with the Commonwealth's massive army that was introduced on "TWD."
An anthology series called "Tales of the Walking Dead" debuted August 2022.
The six-episode first season focused on new and former characters in the world of the original "TWD" series, including Samantha Morton's Alpha.
Terry Crews, Olivia Munn, Anthony Edwards ("Inventing Anna"), Parker Posey ("Lost In Space"), and Poppy Liu ("Dead Ringers") appeared on the series, which was led by "The Walking Dead" and "Fear TWD" writer and producer Channing Powell.
The series has yet to be renewed or cancelled.
