Daryl Dixon A spinoff series created by Angela Kang and Scott M. Gimple to star Reedus and McBride as their characters Daryl and Carol, respectively, was also announced in September 2020, with plans to air in 2023 after the conclusion of the eleventh season of the main show. In April 2022, the project was retooled to be entirely Daryl-focused, and McBride departed the project. The series is set and to be filmed in Europe in mid-2022, which would make it logistically untenable for McBride. David Zabel serves as showrunner, who replaces Kang. In October 2022, the series' title was revealed to be Daryl Dixon. Rick and Michonne spinoff Following the departure of Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes during the ninth season, chief content officer Scott Gimple stated that they plan to create three AMC Original Films to explore events related to Rick's character in the future, starring Lincoln, and with the first expected to begin production in 2019. Besides Lincoln, Danai Gurira (Michonne) and Pollyanna McIntosh (Jadis / Anne) were also slated to star in these films. Gimple stated that these would not simply be extended episodes, nor attempt to adapt any of the comic stories, but would heavily involve Kirkman in their development. The films were slated to release in theaters by Universal Pictures. However at the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced that the films are now being reworked into a six-episode miniseries starring Lincoln and Gurira. The series will conclude Rick and Michonne's storyline following the main series' conclusion. The series takes place after the events of the fifth episode of the ninth season, "What Comes After" and the thirteenth episode of the tenth season "What We Become", and presents an "epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world". The series was set to begin filming in January 2023 and Gurira confirmed she would be a writer on the series and be credited as a co-creator alongside Gimple. The six-episode series is set to premiere in 2024. Others Wizards of the Coast worked with AMC to include characters and elements of The Walking Dead, into Magic: The Gathering as part of a 2020 "Secret Lair" card set.
