Truly one of the best aspects of attending comic conventions in this day and age, is the sheer fact that they are now a great source for pop culture news. Since so many studios and networks unveil special content for those in attendance to enjoy, and that just adds a special layer to an already special weekend, and it just so happens that AMC Networks offered up all kinds of wonderful news and gifts for fans of The Walking Dead Universe in attendance at New York Comic Con this week.
​
For on Friday, they took the time to showcase the first fourteen minutes of the upcoming new episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol. Something that fans absolutely enjoyed after last week’s ominous ending to the show. Plus, we also received some news regarding season two of The Walking Dead: Dead City. Such as when the show will return, along with some new photos and a new teaser and well, since not everyone got the chance to enjoy this in person, here are all the details, photos and teaser from today’s event, to celebrate some delightful news from the world of The Walking Dead.

‘Today, The Walking Dead Universe took over New York Comic Con’s Main Stage with panels for The Walking Dead: Dead City and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon - The Book of Carol.
 
The Walking Dead: Dead City season two panel featured the Walking Dead Universe Chief Content Officer Scott M. Gimple, executive producers and stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan, and cast members Gaius Charles, Željko Ivanek and Dascha Polanco and was moderated by Chris Jericho (eight-time World Champion, Killed By Art The Clown in the number one movie in America, Terrifier 3, and New York Times bestseller).  During the panel, which debuted a new season two teaser and photography, it was announced that the highly anticipated second season will return in Spring 2025 on AMC and AMC+.  

Immediately following, filmmaker Robert Rodriguez moderated a panel for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon - The Book of Carol, featuring Gimple, executive producer showrunner David Zabel, director and executive producer Greg Nicotero, executive producers and stars Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride, and cast member Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, who discussed the show’s epic second season, currently airing Sundays on AMC and AMC+. The opening minutes of the season's fourth episode, premiering this Sunday, October 20 at 9 pm ET/PT on AMC and AMC+, were shown in-room.

The Walking Dead: Dead City follows fan-favorite characters Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) as they travel into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror. In season two, in the growing war for control of Manhattan, Maggie and Negan find themselves trapped on opposite sides. As their paths intertwine, they come to see that the way out for both is more complicated and harrowing than they ever imagined.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol picks up where season one left off, following fan-favorite characters Daryl Dixon (Reedus) and Carol Peletier (McBride). They both confront old demons while she fights to find her friend and he struggles with his decision to stay in France, causing tension at the Nest. Additionally, Genet (Anne Charrier)’s movement builds momentum, setting Pouvoir on a violent collision course with the Union of Hope in the fight for France's future.'
