10 Most Anticipated Horror TV Shows Of 2026
9. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (Season 4)
It may have seen less than favourable comparisons with The Last of Us over recent years, but The Walking Dead is still the pinnacle of the zombie TV show for many, and has an impressive longevity to back it up.
Along with nine seasons, the show has seen multiple spin-offs in the form of Fear the Walking Dead, The Ones Who Live, Dead City, and of course, Daryl Dixon, the latter of which continues the story of one of the most popular characters since the show kicked off in 2010, played by Norman Reedus.
Daryl's exploits after The Walking Dead have seen him travel Europe with Carol (Melissa McBride) and after three successful seasons, a fourth has been greenlit to end the series once and for all. It may have been a few years since the franchise was at its world-dominating best, but it's almost a consensus that Daryl Dixon is the standard right now, and one final season is something to celebrate.
In terms of its release, it would seem that September 2026 would be the safe bet, following a similar release for the previous three seasons in 2023, 2024, and 2025. If this is in fact where Daryl and Carol's stories end, then fans may be in for something special.
