The Walking Dead: Season 12 (2025)

The Walking Dead: Season 12 (2025) shambles onto AMC as a speculative revival of the flagship zombie saga, directed by a hypothetical Greg Nicotero and teased for an October 2025 premiere—though unconfirmed as of March 5, 2025.
After Season 11’s 2022 finale, Norman Reedus returns as Daryl Dixon, back from France (Daryl Dixon), reuniting with Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) from Dead City to face Designation 2, a shadowy militia teased in the Commonwealth’s fall.
When Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) crash-land post-The Ones Who Live, the group battles irradiated walkers and a CRM splinter faction (Pollyanna McIntosh’s Jadis, imagined back) across a ravaged East Coast. The teaser hints at Daryl’s crossbow piercing a glowing walker, a family reborn in ruin.
No Season 12 is planned—AMC’s focus is on spinoffs (ScreenRant, September 2024), with Dead City and Daryl Dixon set for 2025 (Deadline, October 2024)—but this assumes a crossover event post-The Ones Who Live buzz (ComicBook.com, January 2025). Expect chaos: a highway ambush with irradiated hordes, a CRM heli-crash sparking a forest blaze, and a coastal finale storming a Designation 2 bunker. Reedus’ grizzled steel leads, Lincoln’s return (if cast) electrifies, and Cohan’s fire burns. The visuals grip—crumbling cities under toxic haze—all backed by Bear McCreary’s score of mournful strings and groans. The Walking Dead: Season 12 (2025) teases a thrilling, undead reunion, a saga reanimated—if AMC dares.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (9/10)
🔥 A raw, relentless continuation that delivers zombie hordes, family stakes, and a Walking Dead reborn.
