‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ Season 3 Episode 6 Release Date, Time, and Where to Stream It

‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ has kept its momentum going all summer, and the Manhattan set spinoff is now closing in on the back half of its third season. Every episode title for this run has already been made public, an unusual move for a season this early into its release, which means fans already know what is coming even before AMC drops each new hour.

The series continues to follow Lauren Cohan’s Maggie Rhee and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan as they work to hold together a fragile new community in a ruined New York. With episode 6 now on the horizon, viewers are asking exactly when it lands, what time it becomes available, and where they can actually watch it.

‘Dead City’ Season 3 Episode 6 Release Date

Episode 6, titled ‘Genesis,’ is scheduled for August 30, continuing the show’s unbroken weekly cadence since it returned this summer. That release date lines up with the season’s official schedule, which also lists episode 7, ‘Hourglass,’ for September 6 and the finale, ‘Tenebrae,’ for September 13.

Season 3 of ‘Dead City’ premiered on Sunday, July 26, 2026, and has released a new episode at the same time every Sunday since. AMC has confirmed the entire run will continue through its finale on September 13, so episode 6 arrives right on pace with that plan.

Each episode this season runs between roughly 40 and 50 minutes, and ‘Genesis’ is expected to fall in that same range. The season’s steady, uninterrupted schedule has made it easy for fans to plan their Sunday nights around the show without worrying about a midseason break.

What Time Episode 6 Premieres on AMC and AMC Plus

The season has been running at 9 p.m. Eastern and 6 p.m. Pacific, with Central time viewers catching new episodes at 8 p.m. and Mountain time at 7 p.m., and that pattern is expected to hold for episode 6 as well. Viewers should not need to adjust their usual routine to catch ‘Genesis’ when it debuts.

New episodes have also arrived earlier for streaming subscribers, with AMC Plus making installments available at 3 a.m. Eastern on release day, well ahead of the traditional broadcast slot. Cable viewers who prefer the traditional route can still catch the episode in its usual Sunday night broadcast window on the AMC channel.

That dual release approach has been consistent across the season, giving streaming audiences a head start while still preserving the classic Sunday night event feel for cable viewers. Anyone hoping to avoid spoilers should keep an eye on the early AMC Plus drop time rather than waiting for the cable airing.

Where to Watch ‘Dead City’ Season 3 Episode 6

‘Genesis’ will be available in the same two places every other episode this season has landed, starting with the cable network itself. New episodes of ‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ are being released each Sunday on both AMC and AMC Plus, giving viewers a choice between traditional television and streaming.

For those without cable access, AMC Plus remains the most straightforward option since it carries every new episode the same day it airs. The first two seasons of ‘Dead City’ are also available for streaming on AMC Plus and Netflix, which makes it easy for newer viewers to catch up before diving into episode 6.

That Netflix availability only currently covers the earlier seasons rather than season 3, so anyone wanting to watch ‘Genesis’ the day it releases will need either a cable subscription or an AMC Plus account. Both platforms have carried the season without any changes to that setup so far.

What to Expect From ‘Genesis’

Season 3 has centered on Maggie and Negan trying to build something more stable out of Manhattan’s wreckage after years of conflict with rival factions. The season’s overall arc has focused on the shift from constant fighting toward actually rebuilding a functioning community, with Maggie’s new alliance with Renata forming the backbone of that effort.

Along the way, Maggie’s son Hershel has grown close to Renata’s brother Luis, a doctor, while Negan has formed an unusual bond with a longtime survivor named Dillard. Recent episodes have split the ensemble into smaller groups, with Maggie and Luis searching for resources while Negan and Renata focus on protecting the city, a dynamic that looks likely to continue into episode 6.

Season 3 arrived under new showrunner Seth Hoffman, and critics have pointed to a noticeably different tone compared to the more strained second season, with this run willing to take bigger risks including a teased alternate reality episode. The returning cast includes Aimee Garcia, Jimmi Simpson, and Raúl Castillo, all of whom have factored into the season’s expanding cast of allies and threats around Maggie and Negan.

With only three episodes left after ‘Genesis,’ the pressure on Manhattan’s new community is only expected to grow heading into the finale. How do you think Maggie and Negan’s fragile alliance with Renata’s people will hold up once ‘Genesis’ puts their rebuilding efforts to the test.
