At Comic-Con International, AMC Networks announced that The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has been renewed for a third season that will be produced and set in Spain. Production of season three will begin next month and be based in Madrid, with extensive location shooting planned in the Galicia, Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia regions.
The announcement came during the show’s standing-room-only session in Hall H, attended by series stars and executive producers Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride, cast member Louis Puech Scigliuzzi, showrunner David Zabel and executive producer and director Greg Nicotero.
Season three tracks Carol (McBride) and Daryl (Reedus) as they continue their journey towards home and the ones they love. As they struggle to find their way back, the path takes them farther astray, leading them through distant lands with ever-changing and unfamiliar conditions as they witness the various effects of the Walker apocalypse.
Season two of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, The Book of Carol will premiere on AMC and AMC+ on September 29.
Disney Branded Television and BBC jointly announced The War Between The Land And The Sea, an all-new Doctor Who spinoff, during San Diego Comic-Con. Leading the five-part series is Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, alongside returning Doctor Who cast members Jemma Redgrave (as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart) and Alexander Devrient (as Colonel Ibrahim).
When a fearsome and ancient species emerges from the ocean, dramatically revealing themselves to humanity, an international crisis is triggered. With the entire population at risk, UNIT steps into action as the land and sea wage war. Created by Doctor Who showrunner and executive producer Russell T Davies, who wrote the spinoff with Pete McTighe, the series features the triumphant return of the Sea Devils, classic Doctor Who villains first seen in 1972.
Filming begins next month and will be directed by Dylan Holmes-Williams, director of two Doctor Who season one episodes: “73 Yards” and “Dot and Bubble.” The series will air exclusively on Disney+ where available and BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the U.K.
10:10 Games, in collaboration with Funko, Inc. and Universal Products & Experiences, revealed a ton of exciting Funko Fusion videos, images, casting announcements, and more during their San Diego Comic-Con panel, headlined by the debut of the action-adventure game’s story trailer.
Menacingly voiced by the incomparable Clancy Brown, fans were finally introduced to Funko Fusion’s devious villain Eddy, the deeply twisted and immensely powerful shapeshifting counterpart to Freddy Funko.
With dreams of total domination, Eddy wields the dark ability to possess the inhabitants of Funko Fusion’s pop culture-inspired worlds, building an army of corrupted characters inspired by franchises including Jurassic World, Back to the Future, The Thing, Chucky, and many more. As players strive to fight back, they’ll build their own team of playable heroes, each with unique tools for use in both combat and puzzles.
Speaking of heroes, comics legend Robert Kirkman joined the panel as a surprise guest to share more about the inclusion of Skybound Entertainment’s Invincible and The Walking Dead. Kirkman then treated the audience to first looks at Funko Fusion’s Invincible level as well as playable characters Invincible and Omni-Man in action, along with a sneak peek at The Walking Dead’s Rick Grimes and Michonne.
Panelists also included 10:10 Games’ CEO and founder Jon Burton and co-founder and Head of Publishing Arthur Parsons; Funko’s VP of Licensing & Business Development Jason Bischoff; Monkeypaw Productions’ Creative Director and Jordan Peele’s producing partner Ian Cooper, who shared exciting details about NOPE being brought to life in video game form for the first time; and fan-favorite voice actor Kellen Goff, who was announced to be reprising his role as Freddy Fazbear from Five Nights at Freddy’s in Funko Fusion.
A special line of Funko Fusion Funko Pop! figures based on select in-game characters will be available for fans later this summer at Funko.com and select global retailers. During the panel, Funko revealed exclusive in-game bonus characters and outfits that collectors can unlock by redeeming codes included with Funko Fusion Pop! figures, including Mecha Freddy and so-called “Variant” outfits for Funko fans, such as the Slime Pit variant for He-Man. This content is in addition to the over 60 characters and their range of Variant outfits already included in Funko Fusion.
Funko Fusion launches for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on September 13, 2024, and for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on November 15, 2024.
The Bad Idea Panel at San Diego Comic-Con debuted a brand-new Planet Death trailer, now you can see it for yourself!
Planet Death is from screenwriter Derek Kolstad, writer Robert Venditti, and artist Tomás Giorello.
Millions of miles from home, hundreds of ships descend into the stormy atmosphere of a hostile frozen world. On board, an army of resolute men and women brace for the coming assault.
They are an invasion force, on an impossible mission — destroy the devastating enemy weapon garrisoned below. Corporal Scott and his battalion are in the vanguard but the human forces are no match for their brutal alien adversaries. Scott’s battalion is dead within moments. He is its lone survivor. The landing force annihilated, the battle is lost.
Against overwhelming odds, Scott dares the unthinkable — cross behind enemy lines, survive the lethal landscape, evade capture by ruthless enemies, resist natural predators, face human deserters and finish the mission singlehandedly. Locked in his suit of full combat battle armor, sustained only by what he can carry, and driven by Earth’s wrath, Scott must do by himself what an entire army could not.
Destroy the weapon.
Return home.
