The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 to have a major change from the past seasons: Here’s how

Those waiting for an update for The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 can rest easy. AMC officially green-lit the third season of The Walking Dead: Dead City, approximately a month after season 2 concluded on June 22, 2025, with Perlie, Negan, and Maggie coming to a better understanding. Thus, fans can look forward to seeing these three overcome challenges.

However, not everything is sunshine and rainbows, as it was simultaneously announced that Eli Jorné, who served as the showrunner for Dead City Seasons 1 and 2, will not be returning to showrun The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3. Furthermore, it was also confirmed that cameras will start rolling on the third season this fall in Boston.

Seth Hoffman will be The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3's showrunner.

Eli Jorné's reason for stepping down as the showrunner as of now remains unknown. But what we know is the person who will replace Jorné as the showrunner. The showrunner for The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 is Seth Hoffman, who is a veteran in The Walking Dead Universe.

This The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 news was confirmed officially by AMC Studios, AMC Networks, and Dan McDermott, who serves as the president of entertainment, through this statement:

“We’re thankful to Eli Jorné for two seasons of Dead City that took the story of these iconic characters in exciting new directions and broadened this thriving universe by introducing a new corner of the walker apocalypse. As we continue to create new stories for a passionate TWD fanbase, we’re delighted to have a seasoned Walking Dead veteran like Seth Hoffman at the helm of a new season, alongside the remarkable Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, that will bring new adversaries and alliances and push the boundaries of Maggie and Negan’s conflicted relationship.”

The new The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 showrunner, Seth Hoffman, who has served as a writer in the original The Walking Dead series, released this statement regarding his return to this universe:

“I’m excited to have the chance to dive back into The Walking Dead Universe and work to deliver another dynamic season’s worth of stories to this epic franchise. It’s a true honor to chart out the next chapter for Maggie and Negan’s iconic adventures in Dead City. Lauren, Jeffrey and Scott are incredible creative partners and I’m thrilled to collaborate with them to bring this story to life.”

Through this statement, it looks like the EP team of Lauren Cohan, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Colin Walsh, Scott M. Gimple (chief content officer of The Walking Dead Universe), and Brian Bockrath are returning for the third season.

What does this change mean for Dead City Season 3?

Hopefully, a veteran like Hoffman's involvement in the third season allows viewers to explore the post-apocalyptic landscape of Manhattan in a new way. The upcoming season will follow Maggie and Negan, who are working together despite their complicated past.

While trying to form a new community in Manhattan, the chaos across the city will cause the two to wonder if healing from their past is possible.
