AMC Has Not Renewed The Walking Dead: Dead City

AMC has not renewed or canceled The Walking Dead: Dead City, leaving the spinoff’s future unconfirmed despite Scott M. Gimple’s view that it has a good chance of returning for a fourth season. Gimple, the franchise’s chief content officer, said the series was performing well, but cautioned that changing television metrics and economics make renewal prospects harder to assess. Gimple’s comments indicate optimism, not a decision by AMC. He said viewers were responding to the show and that it had a “good shot” at another season, while emphasizing that the television business no longer offers the straightforward measures he once used to estimate a series’ longevity. The reports provide no audience figures or financial data to explain his assessment, and AMC has set no public timetable for a decision. The uncertainty leaves the story of Maggie and Negan unresolved after Season 3. The series follows the pair as they try to establish a community in Manhattan. In the finale, Maggie, now leading the community, offers Negan a role as its head of security and says she has a specific task for him.
