Dead City Season 4 Looks Likely as Gimple Teases Slower Walking Dead Rollout
Scott M. Gimple says The Walking Dead: Dead City has a good shot at Season 4, while the franchise shifts to a slower rollout pace.
Scott M. Gimple says The Walking Dead: Dead City has a good shot at returning for a fourth season. The franchise architect shared the update during a panel at MultiCon 2026, where he addressed the spin-off's future.
The timing would follow a pattern AMC has used before. The network renewed Dead City for Season 2 shortly before the Season 1 finale aired, and announced Season 3 a month after Season 2 wrapped.
Critical reception for the series has swung widely. Season 3 holds a 100% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, up from 80% for Season 1 and 56% for Season 2, according to comingsoon.net.
Season 3 ended in September after an eight-week run on AMC and AMC+, with the finale teasing an expansion beyond Manhattan into other New York boroughs.
Gimple also said the wider franchise rollout will be slightly slower, with less urgency and speed. Elsewhere in the universe, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 4 will conclude the European-set spin-off in early 2027, and a new crossover show is reportedly in the works.
