Andrew Lincoln Hints at THE WALKING DEAD Return

The Walking Dead is over but, as we know, the end of the flagship series that’s been in fans’ hearts for over a decade doesn’t mean this world is done. The show already has six spinoff series: Fear the Walking Dead, Tales of the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, The Walking Dead: Dead City, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. Most of them are completed; however, there’s a couple that are continuing this franchise with more seasons.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season Four Will Be the Final Round

Season three of Daryl Dixon’s series currently has the crossbow carrier and his pal Carol in Spain as they attempt to get back to America. He supposedly misses his friends and wants to reunite with Laurent, but Daryl just can’t stop getting into mess. It is his overall apocalypse vibe.

Previously, Norman Reedus spoke out of turn during a RadioTimes interview about a not-yet-announced season four of Daryl Dixon. “We’re about to start seasons 3 and possibly 4 in Spain,” he said. “I think I’m allowed to say that. I don’t know. I just said it. But I think we’re going to Spain, to Madrid, for that.”

Well, now we know that this series will have a fourth and final season. And, the series is actively filming as of September 24, which is interesting considering that Dead City is also filming as well. But the end of Daryl Dixon’s show doesn’t mean his story is over.

“Daryl Dixon has been an incredible journey,” Reedus said in a statement. “I thank each and every fan who has joined us on this ride. It’s been a privilege to build this story for these characters, and we have so much gratitude for how it’s been embraced. Your love and support have made every moment worth it. This finale isn’t just an ending; it’s a celebration of what we’ve all shared together. Keep carrying that love forward – Daryl’s journey is far from over.”

The Walking Dead: Dead City Season Three Starts Filming

The Walking Dead: Dead City season two ended in a strange space. Maggie and Negan finally seem to have a legit truce and Herschel betrayed his own mother to be with Dama. New Babylon won the war and is taking over NYC and all of its resources. This sets things up for an interesting season three, which just started filming in the Boston area.

We don’t know much about what’s next, but there’s already casting news. Deadline reports that Jimmi Simpson will be a series regular in Dead City season three in an undisclosed role. The only thing we know is his character’s name is Dillard.

The Walking Dead‘s Potential Spinoff Crossover Event and The Ones Who Live‘s Future

As fans know, Rick Grimes was supposed to get three movies, but now it is the limited series alongside Michonne. The Ones Who Live is meant to wrap up their storylines; however, Gimple says there might be more story to tell. “Anything is possible…,” he said to Deadline. “We’re focused on this one right now. But this one came together in a really amazing way, where there were all sorts of plans. And then the world changed and we altered those plans.”

We obviously know now (and honestly always knew) that Rick did not die in his spinoff. He got to reunite with Judith and meet Rick, Jr., but there are so many reunions that need to happen. Morgan is out there looking for Rick, Daryl will eventually return to the US, and there’s the rest of his found family back home along with Laurent in the Commonwealth. All signs seem to be pointing to a crossover event, which Gimple wants to happen.

“I do have dreams of merging this all together, and I have laid little breadcrumbs toward that, but you never know exactly when and how [it will come together], because of a variety of reasons,” he told TVLine. As long as The Walking Dead franchise is getting money and attention from fans, it will surely keep making more spinoff content. That’s fine with us but please, please don’t follow the comics and kill Rick Grimes if you bring him back in the future.

With Norman Reedus wanting to play Daryl Dixon for several more years, it wouldn’t be shocking if he crossed into some future spinoff series. I wouldn’t mind a Daryl and Connie miniseries. Perhaps he will somehow come across Maggie and/or Negan in their show. Or, maybe he will be the gateway to introduce us to a new character to follow. A crossover event would likely put him front and center as one of this universe’s leading men.

Even Andrew Lincoln slyly said in a recent interview that there are conversations about a Rick Grimes return. For now, he’s living peacefully and whatever happens, it better remain that way.

A lot is happening in The Walking Dead universe and there will surely be more details about other spinoffs if they happen. There’s plenty left to explore in the land of the dead, so let’s keep walking right towards these spinoffs.
