AMC’s New York Comic Con 2026 Panels Bring Daryl Dixon, Mayfair Witches, Kill Jackie and Shudder to the Stage

AMC Global Media is bringing a full afternoon of series previews to New York Comic Con on Friday, October 9, followed by two Shudder panels on Saturday. The lineup includes the fourth and final season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Season 3 of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, new AMC+ thrillers Kill Jackie and YAGA, and a tenth-anniversary celebration for The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula.
