The spinoff's renewal was confirmed during the Walking Dead Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday (July 21), ahead of the season one finale airing this weekend. The Daryl Dixon spinoff was also renewed ahead of its first season even premiering.
Dead City has followed former enemies Maggie Rhee (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) on a road trip to New York City to find Maggie's kidnapped son Hershel.

While the two start off on the trail of former Saviors member the Croat (True Blood's Željko Ivanek), they end up in the middle of a brutal turf war over control of the city.
What to Read Next
Dan McDermott of AMC announced the renewal news: "This next chapter in the Walking Dead Universe continues to thrive with a terrific inaugural season for Dead City and highly anticipated new journey for fan-favorite character Daryl Dixon coming in September.
"We can't wait to bring Dead City fans back to the epicenter of Manhattan for more zip-lining action with Maggie and Negan. And, ahead of its debut, we're thrilled to double down on Daryl as we bring the apocalypse to France, transforming Notre Dame, Pont du Gard and other iconic locales into an apocalyptic landscape unlike anything we've seen before."
