The Walking Dead franchise continues to prove it is a main event player in the television landscape. Two of its top brands have secured key spots on the card for the 2026 Saturn Awards.
The Daryl Dixon spinoff is leading the charge with a nomination for Best Television Presentation or Limited Series. The show is getting a massive push this awards season as its top stars also look to capture individual gold. Norman Reedus has been nominated for Best Actor in a Television Series, while Melissa McBride is contending for Best Actress. This marks back-to-back years where the duo has been in the title picture for these prestigious honors.
Dead City is also featured on the booking sheet. The series featuring Maggie and Negan has earned a shot at the Best Horror Television Series award. While its lead stars were left off the individual ballot this time around, the show itself remains a strong contender in the division.
Fans can see if the franchise walks out with the hardware when the ceremony takes place on March 8.
