A new face enters the ruins: Raúl Castillo joins The Walking Dead: Dead City

Production for The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 is already rolling in Boston, and fans have something major to look forward to, as Raúl Castillo is joining as Luis, a series regular.

The announcement has stirred excitement among longtime fans who’ve followed Castillo’s layered performances in Task, Looking, and Vida. Known for his screen presence, Castillo seems like the perfect addition to the world of Dead City.

The AMC spinoff follows Maggie and Negan as they journey through a Manhattan that has been long cut off from the mainland, now crawling with walkers and darker human threats.

By the end of Season 2, the rivalry between the two has reached a boiling point, especially after the shocking betrayal is revealed. Season 3 is set to pick up on the same, with Manhattan now being on the brink of war.

Showrunner Seth Hoffman, who has previously worked within The Walking Dead universe, shared his excitement with AMC by saying:

“It’s a true honor to chart out the next chapter for Maggie and Negan’s iconic adventures in Dead City. Lauren, Jeffrey, and Scott [Gimple] are incredible creative partners and I’m thrilled to collaborate with them to bring this story to life.”

With Hoffman leading the charge and new additions like Castillo on board, the third season promises tension and depth in equally good measure.

New beginnings and what Season 3 could bring

Fans still haven’t recovered from Season 2’s explosive finale, where Maggie literally stabbed Negan in the back, setting the stage for a war that could change their bond forever.

The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3, now featuring Raúl Castillo as Luis, might shake up these fragile dynamics even more. Castillo’s arrival comes along with Lucifer star Aimee Garcia, who joins as Renata, and Westworld’s Jimmi Simpson, making this one of the most stacked casts the series has seen so far.

The mix of old grudges and new alliances makes The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 one of the most anticipated seasons in the franchise yet. Lauren Cohan herself hinted at what’s ahead in an interview with Collider, sharing:

“I don’t want to call it a truce, but they have basically beaten each other into submission. I’d like to see some sort of agreement… that then allows for the show to just shatter open.”

Her words tease a season where Maggie and Negan’s relationship could see changes in ways that are unexpected. This season could perhaps even redefine their relationship and the idea of what survival means for the two of them.

Meanwhile, Castillo’s filmography suggests that he’s ready for a role in a show that is quite physically demanding. With credits like Smile 2 and The Inspection (which earned him a Gotham Award nomination), he's sure to be bringing some serious acting to AMC’s rugged zombie drama.

With Raúl Castillo entering the world of The Walking Dead: Dead City, TWD universe feels more alive than ever. His being added to the list of cast members might just make Maggie and Negan’s brutal journey through Manhattan even more exciting.

As AMC’s cameras roll, Season 3 of The Walking Dead: Dead City looks set to raise the stakes higher than ever before. If Dead City has taught us anything, it’s that no one truly walks away unchanged.
