'Walking Dead' Spinoff Resumes Filming With Extensive Worcester Street Closures

Filming for the third season of "The Walking Dead: Dead City" is underway in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts, transforming parts of the city with props like a subway station and abandoned New York City taxis to emulate an apocalyptic setting. The production has prompted multiple street closures in the downtown area, including Franklin, Portland, Main, Norwich, and Mechanic streets, with no parking allowed on several streets during filming hours. Worcester has become a favored filming location for the franchise, having hosted the second season's shoot in May 2024, and continues to attract fans and boost local business activity. The show’s production involves extensive set dressing to create a desolate Manhattan-like environment, although the specific locations may appear different from previous seasons. Local authorities have issued advisories about these closures to minimize disruptions, and the filming is expected to continue at least through Wednesday, September 24. The ongoing production signals that the series is progressing toward completion, generating anticipation for the upcoming season among fans.
