What can fans expect in The Walking Dead season finale?
Lots of zombies! Director of The Walking Dead, Greg Nicotero wrote an article in the November 2022 issue of Empire and informed what audiences can look forward to in the show’s finale which he directed. “Is it zombie-heavy or zombie-light? Well, even if the script had said ‘two or three zombies’, I’d need more like 200 or 300,” he said.
Three new Walking Dead spin-offs coming soon
The new shows that will extend the end of ‘The Walking Dead’ by at least a few more episodes beyond the very last of the original that changed the zombie sub-genre forever will pair up fan-favorites Negan an Maggie, Grimes and Michonne as well as one focused on Daryl.
Daryl’s spin-off
Originally meant to be an anthology starring Daryl and Carol called ‘Tales of the Walking Dead’ the project took a turn when Melissa McBride who plays Carol was unable to relocate to Europe for shooting. Instead the show will focus solely on Daryl played by Norman Reedus as he tries to figure out how he ended up somewhere on the European continent.
The show will take a different turn. “The story’s way different. The characters are way different. There’s a different tone, there’s different light, there’s a different sound. It’s a whole different vibe,” Reedus told Entertainment Weekly. It’s set to premiere in 2023.
Maggie and Negan spin-off
The Maggie and Negan spin-off was originally title ‘Isle of the Dead’ but Entertainment Weekly reported that AMC changed it to ‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ and will take the two to Manhattan. “The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror,” said the network. No date for its release has been posted yet.
Grimes and Michonne spin-off
Whether or not Grimes will pop up in Season 11 of ‘The Walking Dead’ hasn’t been revealed yet but the trailer has scenes harking back to the very beginning of the long-running horror series. Details of the Grimes and Michonne spin-off are scarce but the six-episode series will conclude the stories of the fan-favorites who disappeared.
“This is a moment fans of The Walking Dead have been waiting for since Rick disappeared in the helicopter early in season nine, and Michonne journeyed away on a quest to find him the following season,” said president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks Dan McDermott. The show will be released in 2023.
Elsewhere, the life of beloved character Judith Grimes was left hanging in the balance, but will she survive?
The final season of The Walking Dead is arriving via Star on Disney Plus throughout October and November.
While next week’s finale will be the last ever episode of The Walking Dead, fans do have the spin-off titled The Walking Dead: Dead City to look forward to, which will see the return of Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).
Meanwhile, Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond and anthology series Tales of the Walking Dead will also continue building out this fascinating post-apocalyptic universe.

Thankfully, fans have films and spin-offs to look forward to - including one focused on longtime favourite Daryl Dixon.
The Walking Dead writer and producer Scott M Gimple told Total Film: “Daryl is a fish out of water to start with [in the spin-off]. If Daryl finds himself with new people, he’s a fish out of water.
"In France, in a country that’s going through the apocalypse, [it’s] an entirely different thing. He finds himself having to reinvent himself again, having to find himself again, and also, not being with – probably – the only people in the world he’s comfortable with.”
When will The Walking Dead season 11 episode 24 air?
The Walking Dead season 11 episode 24 will air on Monday 20th November 2022 in the UK (via Disney Plus).
