Two major post-apocalyptic themed TV series ended their runs in 2022: “The Walking Dead” (AMC) after 11 seasons and “See” (Apple TV+) after three seasons. But more end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it TV shows are coming in 2023.
At least four new series are slated for release in 2023. They include “The Last of Us” on HBO Max, “Wool” on Apple TV+, “The Ark” on Syfy and “The Walking Dead: Dead City” on AMC.
First up is “The Last of Us,” which premieres on Jan. 15. Based on the popular video game series, “The Last of Us” takes place after an outbreak of a mutant Cordyceps fungus ravages the United States, transforming its human hosts into aggressive creatures known as the Infected.
Next up, “Wool” is scheduled for release in March. The series is set in a ruined and toxic future where a community lives in a massive silo, hundreds of levels underground.
Syfy plans to release its series “The Ark” sometime in 2023. The show takes place 100 years in the future, aboard the Ark One — a star-cruising vessel carrying humanity’s last hope for survival. When the ship sustains heavy casualties, the remaining passengers must band together and complete the mission of finding a new planetary home, the destination of which is more than a year away.
Also coming this year is “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” a spinoff of the just-concluded parent series. It’s one of three planned follow-on series. “Dead City” focuses on characters Negan and Maggie navigating the zombie apocalypse in New York City. “Dead City” is likely to premiere in April.
Another planned spinoff show will follow fan-favorite character Daryl Dixon in Europe. And characters Rick Grimes and Michonne will get their own series as well. Those shows don’t have release dates but could come out in 2023 as well.
Another show that could come out in 2023 is “Fallout” on Amazon Prime Video. Based on the video game franchise, “Fallout” is a post-apocalyptic story set after a nuclear war.
