Overview
- The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 launches Sunday, July 26 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC and AMC+, with new episodes released weekly through mid-September.
- Emily Kinney will guest as Beth in a single episode that is explicitly set in an alternate reality rather than undoing her Season 5 death.
- Season 3 reframes Maggie and Negan’s relationship with a lighter tone as the pair try to create the first post‑apocalypse community in Manhattan and face rising chaos that tests their past wounds.
- The premiere introduces new players such as siblings Renata (Aimee Garcia) and Luis (Raúl Castillo) and allies like Dillard (Jimmi Simpson), while returning antagonists including the Dama and the Croat remain threats.
- The Comic‑Con announcements and promotional push show the franchise leaning into alternate‑reality episodes as a way to revisit fan‑favorite characters and reshape long‑running storylines for new storytelling avenues.
