Walking Dead universe is heading to San Diego Comic-Com with Daryl Dixon & Dead City

by

As a long-time fan of The Walking Dead and a regular attendee of San Diego Comic-Con, I can hardly contain my excitement for this year’s event! It’s been a few years since we last gathered in person to celebrate our shared love for pop culture, and the return of The Walking Dead panels is just the cherry on top.

San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), the most eagerly awaited pop culture gathering of the year, is set to take place soon at the San Diego Convention Center. The four-day event, scheduled for July 25 to 28, signifies a return to normalcy after the disruptions caused by the pandemic in recent years. Notably, the universe of “The Walking Dead” will make a strong presence with panels dedicated to two spinoffs: “Daryl Dixon” and “Dead City.”

since its inception, The Walking Dead has utilized Comic-Con San Diego (SDCC) to initiate new seasons, usually airing in the fall. This summer gathering offered an ideal platform to generate buzz and ignite fan anticipation for the forthcoming season. The first TWD presence at SDCC took place in 2010, preceding the show’s October debut. The initial panel featured AMC executive Joel Stillerman and producers Greg Nicotero, Gale Anne Hurd, and Frank Darabont. In the second part of the panel, Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal, Sarah Wayne Callies, Laurie Holden, and Emma Bell were unveiled as series cast members.
