AMC‘The Walking Dead: Dead City‘ has spent its first two episodes rebuilding the fractured bond between Maggie Rhee and Negan, giving the pair a rare shot at something resembling stability after two seasons of betrayal and bloodshed. That tension is exactly what episode 3 is positioned to explore, and fans are already counting down to it. The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3 episode 3 is set to release on August 9, 2026, continuing the show’s usual Sunday rollout on both AMC and AMC Plus. The episode carries a TV-MA rating for violence and language, in line with the franchise’s usual tone. ‘Dead City’ has traditionally been viewed as the most cautious of ‘The Walking Dead’ franchise’s modern spinoffs, but this season has already signaled a willingness to break from that pattern.
