4 The Walking Dead characters who probably won’t be back in 2023
The Walking Dead Universe will continue through the TWD spinoffs coming our way this year, but we shouldn’t expect to see these characters again.
The Walking Dead came to an end in November 2022 after an incredible 11-season run. To say it was a bittersweet moment for fans of the show would be quite the understatement.
On one hand, we had to bid farewell to a show that has been part of the TV landscape for over a decade, but on the other, we get to prepare for an exciting new era for the TWD Universe.
If you’ve been following the show and the news surrounding its conclusion, you’ll know that AMC is widening the scope of the TWD Universe, commissioning spinoff shows based on some of its most beloved characters.

Two of those spinoffs come our this year, with The Walking Dead: Dead City airing throughout the summer, and Daryl Dixon coming to screens in October 2023. The heavily-anticipated Rick and Michonne spin-off will air in 2024 instead, with production commencing earlier this year. All of these offshoots ensure that at least five of The Walking Dead‘s most popular characters will return. And let’s not forget that veteran spinoff Fear The Walking Dead which is currently halfway through its eighth and final season, so there is plenty of TWD Universe to explore this year and next.
That being said, there are some characters we can probably expect to stay off-screens for the foreseeable. We know we won’t be seeing some characters, but who else is unlikely to make their presence felt in either Fear or the first seasons of the upcoming spinoffs?
