Verified Document Excerpt
"Heading: Dead City season 3 finale airs on September 13 (with no update on season 4) There are some silver linings here: First and foremost, AMC's Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead Universe, Scott M. Gimple, is hoping for a fourth season - reiterating that the third was not planned to be the final season. Moreover, star and executive producer Lauren Cohan has confirmed that they are talking about some really unique "outside the box" storylines for Maggie and Negan's next chapter. Her co-star and fellow EP Jeffrey Dean Morgan also joked that they might have to do another few seasons to fully flesh out the current versions of the characters. So there is clearly a desire for Dead City season 4 from all involved."
