During a panel at New York Comic-Con to mark the 15th anniversary of the TV series’ premiere on AMC Network, the show’s writer and executive producer Scott M. Gimple said there were many storylines still to still explore.
Speaking alongside the cast of Daryl Dixon – the Walking Dead-spinoff series, which follows Norman Reedus’ iconic character, Gimple said: “It’s quite possible we could see this group up here 15 years from now,” (as per Variety).
“There are many more continents to visit. It’s about how [the characters] evolve over time. It’s really exciting to see how far we can take this,” he continued. “In a lot of ways, [the locations] give the story to us,” he said of the extensive possibilities the locations of the stories bring.
He went on to compare the world-building of the stories to those in Marvel and DC movies.
“It was all one story. It went in all sorts of different directions,” he explained during the panel session. “Even with characters who have done so many things, we can put them in different worlds where they have different challenges and evolve them through these challenges.”
The Walking Dead original series ran for 11 seasons, finishing in 2022. Daryl Dixon is the fifth TV spin-off in The Walking Dead franchise, after Fear The Walking Dead, World Beyond, Tales Of The Walking Dead and Dead City. Another spin-off debuted in 2024, titled The Ones Who Live, bringing the total number to six.

Speaking about the show’s end, Norman Reedus said: “Daryl Dixon has been an incredible journey. I thank each and every fan who has joined us on this ride. It’s been a privilege to build this story for these characters, and we have so much gratitude for how it’s been embraced.
“Your love and support have made every moment worth it. This finale isn’t just an ending; it’s a celebration of what we’ve all shared together. Keep carrying that love forward – Daryl’s journey is far from over.”
