The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has run for three seasons at the time of writing (September 2025).

Season one dropped in 2023, while the second season – subtitled The Book Of Carol – was released in October 2024.

Season three kicks off on Sky Max and NOW from 24 October 2025.

The first two seasons ran for six episodes each, with season three running for seven, bringing the current run to 19 episodes to date.

A fourth season has already been confirmed, but its release date is not yet known.

The Walking Dead’s official rating in the UK, as certified by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), is 18 for the complete run.

This rating asserts the show is suitable for adult audiences only - and is definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Reasons for this rating include:

• Heavily implied sex scenes, including implications of rape or assault.
• Severe levels of violence including creative kills
• Regular depictions of decomposed, rotting corpses.
• Graphic use of blood and gore - including flesh being pulled from live bodies and spurting blood from wounds.
• Use of weaponry including guns, arrows, barbed wire bats and knives.
• Frequent depictions of perilous scenarios including torture, abduction, car chases, and facing numerous zombie hordes.

The Walking Dead is a whole universe - and at the time of writing (September 2025) there are six official spin-offs to build the world even more.

These shows are based before, during, and after the main Walking Dead series, building up the world as we know it and, in some cases, providing context to the behaviour or the main characters in the series.

Aside from Daryl Dixon, these are the other five spin-offs available.

The first spin-off of the show, Fear The Walking Dead can theoretically be split into two eras.

For the first three seasons, Fear acts as a prequel to the events of the main series, and focuses on a ‘blended’ family as they navigate life during the onset of the outbreak.

Central to this is Madison Clark, a high school counsellor, her fiancé Travis, and his ex Liza, as well as the children they have together and from previous families.

From season four, as Fear’s timeline begins to run in line with the main series, the show shifts to focus largely on Morgan Jones (Lennie James), a character who originated in The Walking Dead.

The show ran for eight seasons and 113 episodes, airing its finale on November 20, 2023.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond follows a group of teenage survivors as they become the first generation to come-of-age in the wake of the zombie apocalypse.

Set approximately ten years after the outbreak, the group begin the series having grown up within the walls of Nebraska State University - a safe zone protected by the US military.

As a result, they have lived both a sheltered existence having never left the campus, but one where they’ve practically known nothing but life post-outbreak.

The show was fixed from the outset to only run for two seasons, totalling 20 episodes, and aired its finale on December 5, 2021.

Tales Of The Walking Dead is a six-episode anthology series, with each instalment focusing on sole stories of people’s lives surrounding the outbreak that changes their world forever.

Among the stories is that of Dee (Samantha Morton), a protective mother trying to survive with her daughter, and her journey to become the Whisperers leader Alpha as we know her in the main series.

Other episodes include appearances from Terry Crews as a Doomsday prepper forced to leave the safety of his bunker to locate a friend, Olivia Munn as a woman on the road trying to find safety, and Parker Posey and Jillian Bell as warring employees who are forced to work together to survive.

The first series released after The Walking Dead finale, Dead City tracks Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) after they break away from the main group.

Wanting to track down and recover Maggie’s son Hershel, the pair head to a derelict Manhattan, New York, after it's been cut off from the mainland.

In order to work together, the pair need to come to terms with their shared past, which includes Negan brutally murdering Maggie’s husband, Glenn.

Season two premiered on Sky Max on 4 May 2025.

The Ones Who Live is the long-awaited spin-off focused on the main series’ former leading man Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira).

The series tracks where Rick Grimes has been since he was last seen in The Walking Dead, and his efforts to get back to Michonne, as Michonne also tries to find him after discovering he was actually still alive.

The Ones Who Live ran for six episodes, completing the story of Rick and Michonne. There are no plans for a second season.
