AMC Is Bringing The Walking Dead, Mayfair Witches, YAGA and More to NYCC 2026

Wepa, NYCC fam, AMC Global Media is coming back to the Javits Center with enough horror, witches, walkers and general madness to keep the Main Stage busy all weekend. The company has revealed its New York Comic Con 2026 lineup, with fresh looks at Kill Jackie, YAGA, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches and the final season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, plus a heavy Shudder presence on Saturday.

Friday, October 9 is basically AMC day on the Main Stage. Catherine Zeta-Jones kicks things off at 3:30 PM with Kill Jackie, joined by showrunner Tom Butterworth and executive producer Peter Lawson. The new AMC+ revenge thriller premieres October 2 and follows Jackie Price, a former international drug smuggler whose quiet luxury life gets wrecked when a squad of assassins called the Seven Demons comes hunting.

At 4:03 PM, YAGA brings Carrie-Anne Moss, Noah Reid and Clark Backo to the stage alongside showrunner Kat Sandler and executive producer Mackenzie Donaldson. The series reworks the Baba Yaga legend as a contemporary mystery thriller involving a missing heir, a coastal town, ancient magic and enough suspicious people to make everybody look guilty. It premieres October 23 on AMC+.

Then the witches take over. Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches hits the Main Stage at 4:36 PM with Alexandra Daddario, Harry Hamlin, Tongayi Chirisa, Betsy Brandt and Eliza Scanlen, joined by executive producers Esta Spalding and Mark Johnson. The panel will feature an exclusive look at season three, which moves the action to Salem with Rowan Mayfair caught in the middle of ancient magic, new bloodlines and another fight over who gets to control the witches.

At 5:19 PM, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon closes AMC’s Friday Main Stage run with Melissa McBride, showrunner David Zabel and Scott M. Gimple discussing the fourth and final season. Fans will also get never-before-seen footage from Daryl and Carol’s final run as the pair cross the badlands of Spain trying to hold onto hope and each other.

Saturday belongs to Shudder. The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula celebrates ten years of horror, filth and glamour at 2 PM in Room 408 with a look at season seven. Then at 6:30 PM in Room 405, Shudder brings Ry Barrett, David Dastmalchian, Ernest Dickerson and Deborah Ann Woll together for its wonderfully subtle Shudder Is Here to Scare the S— Out of You! panel, looking back at the year in horror and teasing what comes next.

Comic Crusaders will be on the ground at NYCC 2026, so this AMC lineup is absolutely going onto the Javits radar. Between the final ride for Daryl Dixon, new Mayfair Witches, Baba Yaga getting a modern remix and Shudder doing what Shudder does, Friday and Saturday are already getting crowded. The Crusade Never Ends!
