Summary

  • Two Walking Dead spin-offs, The Ones Who Live and Dead City, are coming to Netflix on Jan 13.
  • Dead City sees Maggie and Negan team up in NYC, while The Ones Who Live reunites Rick and Michonne.
  • The popularity of Dead City has led to a Season 2 with a 2025 release window on AMC.

As a passionate admirer of the post-apocalyptic genre and a devoted fan of The Walking Dead since its inception, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming arrival of two new spin-offs on Netflix. With over 14 years of immersive storytelling under my belt, I have witnessed the highs and lows of Rick Grimes’ journey through a zombie-infested world, and it seems that the adventure is far from over.

For enthusiasts yearning for more from the world of “The Walking Dead”, Netflix has an exciting offering coming up in January. In an attempt to beat those winter doldrums, two out of the three spin-offs from this franchise will be streamable. Initially airing on AMC in 2010, “The Walking Dead” was a massive success and spawned a devoted following due to its post-apocalyptic setting. At its peak, it attracted over 17 million viewers, marking the biggest series premiere that AMC had experienced at the time. The comic book series from Robert Kirkman, who also wrote “Invincible”, “Marvel Zombies” and numerous others, was the foundation for this hit show.

Despite the fact that it’s been more than 14 years since viewers saw Rick wake up in a hospital amidst a zombie apocalypse on The Walking Dead, fans continue to crave more of its harrowing and survival-driven stories. It’s worth noting that the series started to lose some steam around its seventh season, with many attributing this decline to the show’s decision to kill off several beloved characters. The gruesome demises of Glenn and Abraham marked the start of a prolonged period of distress and a narrative progression that was slower than usual. Nevertheless, saying farewell to this memorable series in November 2022 was a bittersweet moment for many fans, but fortunately, the introduction of spin-offs provided some solace during its less engaging final seasons.

Two Walking Dead Spinoffs Are Heading To Netflix On January 13

Based on Collider’s report, “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live” and “The Walking Dead: Dead City” will start streaming on Netflix on January 13th. This is an excellent chance for viewers who missed out on the spin-offs when they initially aired or for those who want to revisit them. In “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” Lauren Cohan returns as Maggie, joining forces with Jeffery Dean Morgan (as Negan) despite his past actions against her boyfriend Glenn. Together, they aim to rescue Maggie’s son from The Croat, a ruthless ex-member of the Saviors, in a New York City overrun by zombies.

In a different phrasing: The forthcoming spin-off of “The Walking Dead” on Netflix, titled “The Ones Who Live“, follows the narrative of Rick Grimes, who seemed to perish in the bridge explosion but is actually alive and thriving, and Michonne Grimes, who embarks on a quest to find him. As they navigate through tumultuous occurrences and suspenseful predicaments, their reunion unfolds, giving viewers a glimpse into the depth of their affection for each other. Other notable cast members in “The Ones Who Live” include Pollyanna McIntosh, who once again assumes the character of Jadis Stokes/Anne from both “The Walking Dead” and “The World Beyond“.

If you’re eagerly anticipating catching up on “The Walking Dead: Dead City” when it arrives on Netflix in January, here’s some exciting news for you! The second season of the series is slated to release by 2025. Given the massive success of the spin-off, another installment of the series has been officially commissioned. AMC’s Dan McDermott expressed his eagerness to reunite “Dead City” fans with the bustling epicenter of Manhattan for more thrilling zip-lining adventures featuring Maggie and Negan.
