The Walking Dead is ending. The Walking Dead Universe lives on. AMC+ has revealed the first posters for the Walking Dead spin-off shows coming to the streamer and cable channel AMC next year, joining the ongoing Fear the Walking Dead Season 8. First, frenemies Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) take Manhattan in The Walking Dead: Dead City. Then Daryl (Norman Reedus) is shipped overseas to Europe and finds himself in Paris, France, in Daryl Dixon. And finally — years after being torn apart by time and distance — the epic love story of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) continues in Rick & Michonne.
The teaser posters, which you can check out below, dropped on AMC+. (Note that the Daryl Dixon and Rick & Michonne posters are repurposed production stills from The Walking Dead: Daryl only recently began shooting in France, and the Richonne series won’t begin production until early next year.)
