AMC Announces Fall Premiere Dates: ‘Ragdoll,’ ‘Kin’ and More

AMC is debuting a fresh batch of TV this Fall, with new episodes of favorites like The Walking Dead, Ultra City Smiths, and more. At today’s TCA panel, the network also announced a few new series, including a new saga set in the Anne Rice Universe, and that a handful of new shows like Ragdoll, Kin, and more hitting their streaming service, AMC+, in the months to come.

The Walking Dead continues this fall, with new episodes of Season 11 beginning to air this Sunday, August 22. The eleventh and final season will follow the surviving folks in Alexandria as they “struggle to refortify it and feed its increasing number of residents, which include the survivors from the fall of the Kingdom and the burning of Hilltop,” per AMC’s release. New episodes will premiere Sunday evenings on AMC at 9/8c, and will stream one week early on AMC+.

Also in The Walking Dead Universe, both Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: World Beyond continue on the network. World Beyond will pick up first, airing Sunday evenings starting on October 3 and continuing to air at 10/9c. Fear the Walking Dead will pick up a few weeks later on October 17 with a slot right before World Beyond at 9/8c. As with The Walking Dead, both programs will air their episodes one week early on AMC+.

Ultra City Smiths premieres on AMC on September 13 at 11/10c, unveiling an original style of TV with stop-motion animation baby dolls repurposed as an adult cast. Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, John C. Reilly, Jason Mantzoukas and more star in this wild mystery-comedy.

Shifting to AMC+, the streamer’s fall slate will begin September 9 with the first season of Kin. The Irish drama series is set to follow the tight-knit Kinsella family battling a drug kingpin, featuring Charlie Cox alongside Game of Thrones co-stars Aiden Gillen and Ciarán Hinds. “Out-numbered, out-financed and out-gunned, the Kinsellas find themselves holed up in their Dublin stronghold while their businesses fail, and family members and associates are picked off,” AMC+’s logline reads. “But they have something the cartel does not: the unbreakable bonds of blood and family.”

The streamer will follow up with another new show, Ragdoll, which is from the producers of hit mystery Killing Eve. Per AMC+’s logline, “Six people have been murdered, dismembered and sewn into the shape of one grotesque body — nicknamed the ‘Ragdoll.’” The series will debut on November 11 and feature stars like Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Thalissa Teixeira, and Lucy Hale.

AMC+ will round out their packed autumn with yet another new series: Anna, which will hit the streamer on November 18. Though most of the production is under wraps, the logline states that, “Anna is a dystopian story of a ravaged world destroyed by a virus which kills adults but spares children. Set amongst parched fields and mysterious forests, the crumbling hulks of shopping malls and abandoned cities pierce deserted wide-open spaces on an island reclaimed by nature and run by savage communities of survivors, most of whom are children.”

Along with today’s fall schedule announcement, AMC has also teased three new potential series that have been sent to writers’ rooms. Lives of the Mayfair Witches would be the second series in the Anne Rice Universe following Interview with the Vampire, which was greenlit for 2022. Esta Spaulding and Michelle Ashford are currently attached to the project.

Along with the Anne Rice series, AMC has also opened writers’ rooms for potential series Invitation to a Bonfire and Demascus. The former would be a series based on the novel of the same name by Adrienne Celt, inspired by the famed Nabokov marriage, and created by Rachel Caris Love. Then, Demascus would serve as a comedic genre-fluid series about a 33-year-old Black man using digital psychology to find his truest self.
