AMC confirms weekly schedule for Maggie and Negan’s next chapter
Summary
– The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3 premieres on July 26
– AMC confirmed the season finale will air on September 13
– The eight-episode season will air weekly on Sunday nights
The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3 now has its full AMC schedule.
The new season will premiere on Sunday, July 26. AMC has also confirmed that the season finale will air on Sunday, September 13.
That means the series will run for eight straight weeks without doubling up episodes. Fans will get one new episode every Sunday night through the end of summer.
Episode 1 premieres on July 26. Episode 2 follows on August 2, with Episode 3 on August 9 and Episode 4 on August 16.
The second half begins with Episode 5 on August 23. Episode 6 airs on August 30, Episode 7 lands on September 6, and Episode 8 closes the season on September 13.
The schedule gives The Walking Dead fans a steady run of new franchise content during late summer. It also gives Dead City season 3 a clear finish line as Maggie Rhee and Negan return to Manhattan.
Season 2 ended on June 22, 2025, so viewers have had a long wait for the next chapter. The new season is expected to bring Maggie and Negan back together with a stronger mission.
That mission centers on taking back Manhattan. The direction gives the spinoff a clearer purpose after the twists and tension of season 2.
The cast is also getting fresh additions. Aimee Garcia, Raul Castillo, and Jimmi Simpson are joining season 3.
Garcia and Castillo will play Renata and Luis, a brother-and-sister pair connected to Maggie and Hershel’s story. Simpson will play Dillard, a strange bar owner who could add a different energy to the season.
The trailer suggests Dead City may feel sharper heading into season 3. Maggie and Negan’s uneasy partnership remains the heart of the show, but the fight for Manhattan gives the story bigger stakes.
Dead City season 3 begins July 26 and wraps on September 13. For fans of The Walking Dead universe, the summer schedule is officially locked in.
