The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3 release date speculation, latest news
Brand new things are coming in season 3 of The Walking Dead: Dead City.
If you've been looking forward to a third outing to Dead City, you'll be happy to know that AMC has already booked and confirmed a third trip. That's right, The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3 has officially been confirmed.
UK fans have finally had the chance to start watching the second season, which was released on 10th July.
Much like the first season, the show explored the fragile relationship between Lauren Cohan's Maggie and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan, all while they journeyed through Manhattan and the growing war unfolding there.
While Walking Dead franchise writer and director Scott M Gimple initially raised doubts about whether a season 3 would happen (despite wanting it to), it's clear those worries were for naught with the confirmation of season 3.
The Walking Dead TV universe continues to be hugely popular, and now, with a third season confirmed, fans are no doubt wondering when and what we'll see in The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3. Please read below to find out everything we currently know.
The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3 release date speculation
The Walking Dead: Dead City has only recently been renewed for a season 3. So we're confident in saying that it won't be releasing anytime soon.
Considering that it was almost exactly two years between the release dates of season 1 and 2, we expect the same timeline for its third season.
That would mean season 3 of the wildly popular zombie show would most likely come out in early to mid-2027 at the earliest.
The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3 cast speculation
It's still very early days regarding who will be returning for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3, considering it's only just been confirmed, but we do have some ideas on who we'll see again.
For one thing, we would certainly expect both Lauren Cohen and Jeffrey Dean Morgan to return as Maggie and Negan, given that the series is centred around their uneasy alliance.
Here's a full list of the central cast members/characters from season 2, many of whom could return for season 3:
- Lauren Cohan as Maggie Greene
- Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan
- Gaius Charles as Perlie Armstrong
- Željko Ivanek as Mile Jurkovic/The Croat
- Lisa Emery as The Dama
- Logan Kim as Hershel Rhee
- Keir Gilchrist as Benjamin Pierce
We'll be sure to update this page regularly as more information about season 3 becomes available.
Is there a trailer for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3?
There isn't a trailer available for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3, as the show has only just been renewed.
Filming will begin later in the year, so we don't expect to see a trailer for the third season anytime soon.
For now, you can rewatch the trailer for season 2 below, and we will add any new footage for season 3 as it becomes available.
