Summary
The Walking Deadis a beloved franchise that shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Various spinoff shows have since been released to continue growing the world created in the original. Some of those shows have been stronger than others in terms of quality and fan reaction, but fans ofThe Walking Deadhave certainly enjoyed following along with their favorite characters to see where they go next.
While the future ofThe Walking Deadas a whole remains to be seen, with new ideas and rumors often circulating, audiences are left checking out what has already been released. However, that is going to become slightly more challenging to do after August.
According toWhat’s On Netflix, bothFear the Walking DeadandThe Walking Dead: Daryl Dixonwill be removed from Netflix on August 19, being unavailable from then on. These two spinoff shows offered fans of the franchise further stories with some of their beloved characters, withFear the Walking Deadgoing on to last for eight seasons as it established itself as a memorable show within its own right. Meanwhile,The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixonlasted for two seasons, but only the first was available on the streaming platform.
The Walking Deadfans have just over a month to jump into these two spinoff shows either for the first time or on repeat viewing on Netflix.Audiences get to see the likes of Daryl Dixon, Carol Peletier, and Morgan Jones continue their stories within these particular spinoff shows, with these characters branching out and leading their own shows as part of their individual stories, rather than as the core group that people came toknow and love withinThe Walking Dead. Of course, many new characters were also introduced throughout those shows to expand them.
It remains to be seen what the future of these two spinoff shows will be, and whether they will end up finding a home on another platform, as is often the case when a change such as this is made.The Walking Deadoriginal seriesis available on Disney Plus currently, and having the spinoffs available on that platform would make sense to go alongside that. However, it’s unknown if that’s the plan at this time. There is also always the possibility that they will both end up being back on Netflix at some stage in the future, as it isn’t uncommon to see Netflix strike up new licensing agreements to bring certain television shows and movies back on after a period.
It isn’t all bad news, though, regardingThe Walking Deadand Netflix.The Walking Dead: Dead City’sfirst season was added to the platform earlier this year. Audiences can see theunlikely pairing of Negan and Maggiewithin that show as they battle for survival in New York City. A second season for that show was released earlier this year, which might end up on Netflix at some stage. While it’s frustrating news for fans ofThe Walking Deadthat these spinoff shows are now less accessible, the franchise’s popularity means it will always be kept alive in some capacity.
