New York Comic Con 2023 Recap: The Walking Dead Universe

Here's all the news and reveals from TWD Universe at NYCC 2023.

By Cameron Bonomolo

After The Walking Dead took a bite out of the Big Apple in TWD: Dead City, AMC returned to New York for day one of New York Comic Con 2023. While the network didn't bring an update on the previously renewed second season of Maggie and Negan's NYC-set spin-off to NYCC, AMC did preview its 2024 series Thursday during a two-hour panel. ComicBook is on the ground at the pop culture convention, where the con crowd were the first to see the Orphan Black: Echoes trailer and the first look at Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire season 2, and to learn the latest about The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 and The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.

Below, we've rounded up all the reveals from TWD Universe out of NYCC, which runs from October 12th to October 15th. (Stay tuned to our NYCC 2023 hub for all the latest news and announcements.)

Melissa McBride's Carol Returns in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2

AMC announced that Melissa McBride, who played Carol Peletier on all 11 seasons of The Walking Dead, will reprise her role as a series regular for season 2 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. The series also has an official new title: The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon — The Book of Carol.

"I've known there was much more to be told of Carol's story as I felt her so unsettled when we last saw her, as she watched her best friend, Daryl, ride away," McBride said Thursday. "Apart or (hopefully!) together, their stories run deep, and I'm so excited to continue Carol's journey here. This team of storytellers have done amazing work to land these two established characters in an entirely new world to them, and I'm loving the discoveries!"
