There’s no shortage of material when it comes to The Walking Dead. The show itself ran for over a decade and has spawned six spin offs since it's run. As a whole, how many seasons are there and where can you watch the spinoffs the show generated since its debut?

The Walking Dead

With 11 seasons under its belt, The Walking Dead introduced us to a rich array of characters fans came to love over the years. It followed a group of survivors led by Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) as they attempted to find safety in the midst of the zombie apocalypse. Now, with many of the popular characters still existing in the spinoffs, the story still lives on through them. You can find episodes of the show on Netflix.

Fear The Walking Dead

This was the first spinoff of The Walking Dead. In the series, audiences saw the beginnings of the zombie outbreak and how the characters fought to survive in the setting of Los Angeles, California. Eventually, the series would run concurrently with The Walking Dead after season 3, and we would see the characters moving to other areas, including Mexico. The eighth and final season finished airing in 2023.

While some of the episodes are available on AMC+, the full series is on Amazon if you want to rewatch the entire series.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond

The short-lived spinoff only lasted two seasons and introduced us to a group of teenagers ten years after the outbreak occurred. They are described as having been sheltered throughout their lives, but then they are led on a journey to look for their father. The first season is on AMC+, while both seasons are available on Apple+.

Tales of the Walking Dead

This anthology series first premiered in the summer of 22, and each episode focused on one survivor of the outbreak, whether new or old ones we have met before. So far, there’s only been one season of the series. Stars of the show include Anthony Edwards, Olivia Munn, and Terry Crews. The episodes are available on Amazon Prime.

The Walking Dead: Dead City

Focusing on Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie Rhee (Lauren Conrad), this spinoff finds the two joining forces to rescue Maggie’s son after he is abducted in Manhattan. The show is slated to come back with a second season. The episodes are available on AppleTV+.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon

In this spinoff, Daryl Dixon went to France, likely after Maggie sent him on a mission to look into the results of the outbreak in other parts of the world. The show is due to return for a second season as well. You can find the episodes on AMC+.

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live

The latest spinoff, and one of the most anticipated, will focus on Michonne’s search for Rick, who has been taken into the fold of the Civic Republic Military. It’s been described as an “epic love story” and will feature the couple reuniting after years apart. The show is due to premiere on AMC on Feb. 25.

Andrew Lincoln recently described the show as holding true to his character’s journey in looking for his family. “That DNA is very much in this story- but we wanted to sort of make it a bit more operatic.”
