After an epic 11-season run, The Walking Dead officially came to an end. As of now, there are no plans for a season 12, with the franchise focusing on expanding through various spinoff projects. While fans may be disappointed that a traditional new season isn’t on the horizon, the TWD universe is far from over.
The current direction of the franchise is centered on spinoff series that explore the journeys of beloved characters in new ways. Some of these include shows featuring Daryl Dixon, Maggie, and Negan, as well as Rick Grimes’ highly anticipated return. These projects aim to push the TWD universe in fresh, exciting directions.
However, conversations within the TWD community suggest the possibility of a crossover event between the spinoffs. Showrunners and cast members have hinted at the idea of reuniting iconic characters like Rick and Daryl for a special event, which could give fans the closure and excitement they crave. While this wouldn’t technically be The Walking Dead season 12, it might serve as a spiritual continuation of the original series by bringing key characters back together.
In short, a direct season 12 of The Walking Dead seems unlikely, but the universe continues to grow, and there may still be big surprises in store for fans as the spinoffs evolve and, potentially, merge for one last epic reunion.
