Back in September, we learned that "The Walking Dead" Universe was going to have a big presence during New York Comic Con 2024 (NYCC 2024). This Friday, fans will be learning a whole lot more about what the future holds for Norman Reedus (Daryl) and Melissa McBride (Carol)-starring The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol, and Lauren Cohan (Maggie) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan)-starring The Walking Dead: Dead City when both shows hit the Main Stage. Along with a look at the panels and who will be attending, we've also learned that AEW's Chris Jericho will moderate the "Dead City" presentation, while director Robert Rodriguez will moderate the "Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol" presentation.

"The Walking Dead: Dead City" (Friday, October 18, 6-7 pm, Main Stage)

The Walking Dead: Dead City follows fan-favorite characters Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean 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.

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.
