The latest news on Season 2 also touches on the future of the entire “The Walking Dead” franchise, including “Dead City.” Despite the challenges posed by the Hollywood strikes, AMC Networks CEO Kristin Dolan assured that the spinoffs would not be affected, with a pipeline of finished shows ready for viewers for the remainder of the year and into 2024.
