DEAD COOL! The Walking Dead fans go WILD as massive UK premiere date for Dead City Season 3 is FINALLY confirmed

THE WALKING DEAD universe is sending shockwaves across the UK after the official release date for the bloody third season of spin-off Dead City was finally locked in.

Zombie-obsessed Brits have been left champing at the bit as the apocalyptic action unfolded across the Atlantic. But now, telly bosses have put fans out of their misery by confirming when Maggie Rhee and Negan Smith will make their explosive return to British screens.

Desperate viewers have spent weeks dodging major spoilers on social media as the third season dominated conversations worldwide. Now, TV network bigwigs have given the green light for the mega hit to hit UK televisions this month on Sky and NOW.

FANGS FOR THE MEMORIES

The monstrous spin-off, which follows sworn enemies Maggie—played by screen siren Lauren Cohan—and reformed villain Negan, played by fan-favourite Jeffrey Dean Morgan, has kept millions on the edge of their seats.

Set in a post-apocalyptic, decay-ridden Manhattan cut off from the mainland, the spin-off has taken the iconic franchise to terrifying new heights.

And after a agonizing wait for fans in Blighty, network chiefs have revealed that all eight episodes of the third installment will drop on Sky One and streaming service NOW from Friday, September 18.

The massive announcement triggered an online meltdown as legions of die-hard supporters rushed to social media to celebrate the huge news.

One ecstatic superfan cheered online: “FINALLY! The wait is over. Cannot wait to see what Negan and Maggie get up to in NYC this time. Binge mode activated!”

Another hyped-up viewer declared: “Best news all week! I’ve been dodging spoilers left, right, and centre online. Clear my calendar for September 18th!”

A third thrilled fan added: “Maggie and Negan back on my screen in the UK? Take my money! TV night is saved.”

BLOOD & GUTS

Insiders promise the third outing is set to be the absolute most brutal, action-packed chapter yet as the toxic, complex bond between Maggie and Negan reaches an absolute boiling point.

Show bosses have teased that the upcoming series will push both iconic characters to their absolute limits as they battle rival factions and relentless hordes of gruesome walkers in the concrete jungle.

UK broadcasting executives had kept their cards close to their chest while the show wrapped up its run across the pond, prompting fury from frustrated British fans desperate to get their fix without having to resort to sneaky VPN tricks or risking internet spoilers.

Now, with the date firmly etched into the TV guide, horror addicts are prepping for an epic marathon session.

UNMISSABLE TV

Dead City has proven to be a juggernaut ratings winner for AMC since launching as a high-octane follow-up to the original juggernaut series.

With critics branding the series a return to top form for the zombie franchise, the hype surrounding the third chapter has reached absolute fever pitch.

Fans who have followed the pair since Negan’s infamous, stomach-churning introduction in the main show know that their uneasy alliance is a ticking time bomb.

TV experts predict huge viewing figures when the new season officially drops on British soil later this month as the UK fanbase prepares to tune in in their millions.

The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 lands on Sky One and NOW on September 18.
