At New York Comic Con, AMC announced that The Walking Dead has been renewed for a S11. They also revealed that Lauren Cohen, who played fan-favorite Maggie Greene, will be returning to the series as a regular. Cohen's character was last seen in S9 right before the series experienced a six-year plotline jump, and her return is a major boost for the show, especially after the announced departure of Dania Gurira (see "Dania Gurira Leaves 'The Walking Dead").AMC also announced that the third The Walking Dead series will be released on Amazon Prime in several international markets according to Variety. The new series, in production in the US, has been pre-purchased by Amazon for Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and most of Europe. The spinoff will focus on the first generation to come of age after the zombie apocalypse, and will come out in Spring 2020 (see "'TWD' Spinoff Gets Lead ").
DC Universe and Warner Bros. Television Group revealed that the adult animated series Harley Quinn will debut on November 29. The new show stars Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco as the voice of Harley Quinn alongside several other A-list voices, and a trailer for this series was released back in July (see "Kaley Cuoco Voices 'Harley Quinn'" and also, "'Harley Quinn' Trailer "). Hivemind announced that it will team up with James Wan and his Atomic Monster production company to produce the TV adaptation of Image's Gideon Falls comic book series (see “’Gideon Falls’ Optioned”).

James Wan will executive produce the show along with Atomic Monster's Michael Clear, Hivemind's Jason Brown, Sean Daniel, Kathy Lingg, Dinesh Shamdasani, and the original series creators Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino.

Netflix's GLOW has been renewed for one more round in the squared-circle according to The Hollywood Reporter.
