Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 8!The Walking Dead: Dead City star Lauren Cohan has explained the importance of the season 2 finale's major callback moment to the first series. During the end of Dead City season 2, Maggie (Cohan) finds Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) in the basement of the church, secretly watching as he lines up both Perlie (Gaius Charles) and Bruegel (Kim Coates) to be executed by Lucille. In a moment mirroring how he killed Glenn (Steven Yeun) in the original series, the former antagonist uses his baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire to kill Bruegel.

In an interview with ScreenRant's Owen Danoff about The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 finale, Cohan explained how Maggie felt watching Negan kill Bruegel, explaining how it conjured memories of Glenn. She discussed the dynamic between both characters and how it's impacted by these echoes of the past,...

In the final episode of season two of The Walking Dead: Dead City, viewers witnessed a major moment between two of the show’s central characters. Maggie, who has carried the pain of Glenn’s death for years, finally stood face to face with Negan, the man responsible. But when it came time to end things once and for all, she made a different choice.

The episode featured intense moments, especially as Negan went up against Bruegel, a new and dangerous threat played by Kim Coates. The two were fighting for control over a powerful resource, methane produced by walkers, which could restore energy to parts of New York City.

While that played out, Maggie was sent on a personal mission. The Dama, played by Lisa Emery, pushed her to take out Negan for good. It seemed like Maggie was ready. With her son Hershel urging her on and her grief weighing heavy,...

In the season two finale of The Walking Dead: Dead City, fans finally saw Maggie face the moment she had been waiting for since Glenn’s brutal death, a chance to kill Negan. But in a surprising twist, she let him live.

The episode, titled “If History Were a Conflagration,” showed Negan embracing his darker side once again, as he made a move to defeat Bruegel, a new villain played by Kim Coates. The two men were fighting for control over a huge supply of methane made from walkers, which could be the key to bringing power back to New York City.

At the same time, Maggie was under pressure from the Dama, a powerful and dangerous figure played by Lisa Emery. The Dama told Maggie to kill Negan, offering her the closure she had been chasing for years. Pushed by memories of Glenn and by her son Hershel, Maggie...

The Season 2 finale of The Walking Dead: Dead City has officially come and gone with no news surrounding its hopeful Season 3 return. Unlike its sibling spin-off production, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, the title wasn’t given the greenlight for a follow-up ahead of its premiere, leaving audiences as dark as Manhattan by the time the credits rolled last night. And, if you, as a fan, were looking for some solace from universe head Scott Gimple, let’s just say he’s not necessarily the person to turn to in your time of uncertainty.

During a chat with TV Insider that ran following the Season 2 finale, Gimple left things up in the air whether Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan and Lauren Cohan’s Maggie would continue their story in another set of episodes. On one hand, he offered a glass-half-full perspective, telling the outlet, “I will say this, there’s...

[This story contains spoilers from The Walking Dead: Dead City season two finale.]

Almost a decade ago, The Walking Dead took a baseball bat to its sprawling ensemble and changed the course of the show forever. Hard as it is to believe, Steven Yeun’s Glenn was smashed out of the story all the way back in 2016. Nearly 10 years on, Lauren Cohan’s Maggie has yet to satisfy vengeance against Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), the man who giddily beat her husband to death. At long last, Maggie finally had Negan dead to rights in the season two finale of The Walking Dead: Dead City, the spinoff show starring these two blood-crossed rivals — and just as she got up at bat, she decided to walk away from the plate.

Sunday night’s Dead City finale, titled “If History Were a Conflagration,” sees Negan deciding to go full heel in order to defeat Bruegel (Kim Coates), the franchise’s newest psychopath,...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 8!The Walking Dead: Dead City star Lauren Cohan has weighed in on Maggie's future after the end of season 2, and where she might go from here. Dead City season 2 ended with Maggie almost killing Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), only to spare him after learning Ginny (Mahina Napoleon) died. This puts the pair on the same team, alongside Perlie (Gaius Charles), as they watch New Babylon's army march on Manhattan. Hershel (Logan Kim) has also sided with the Dama (Lisa Emery), with Maggie now determined to stay and change her son's mind.

In an interview with ScreenRant's Owen Danoff about The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 finale, Cohan explained how she doesn't believe Maggie's story will end in Manhattan. Instead, she wants her story to come full circle, both for the spinoff itself, and when considering her journey in the original series.

After The Walking Dead came to an end back in 2022 following a staggering 11-season run, several of its primary members struck out on their own. Daryl (Norman Reedus) ended up on the shores of France with his bestie Carol (Melissa McBride) not far behind in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, while separated spouses Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) found their way back to one another in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. Meanwhile, an unlikely allyship was formed between archenemies Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) in The Walking Dead: Dead City. And, although each offshoot has proved its potential thanks to impressive viewership numbers, there are many fans who would give everything to see the full band back together again. In fact, it isn’t just the universe’s sprawling following that would love to see a reunion, with Cohan recently marking herself...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 Episode 8, “If History Were a Conflagration.”] The methane-powered lights went out on the sophomore season of The Walking Dead: Dead City in what felt more like a series ender with a powerful montage as survivors Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), and former New Babylon figurehead Perlie (Gaius Charles) are reunited and decide to move forward in the war for Manhattan’s methane operation — together. There are fewer obstacles in their path, it seems, with Kim Coates‘ Bruegel meeting a brutal end, thanks to an enraged Negan. However, the Dama (Lisa Emery) still looms large with Maggie’s son Hershel (Logan Kim) at her side, hoping to usher in a new era for Manhattan. And there’s that second wave of the New Babylon army that marched onto the island in the final minutes. Below, The Walking Dead universe boss Scott M. Gimple...

Ahead of the season finale's premiere, Cbr can share an exclusive sneak peek clip. In the video, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) calls back to his original introduction in The Walking Dead, which saw him choosing who to kill with Lucille by using, "Eenie, meenie, miney, mo."

In the short clip, Negan, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, appears to be gearing up for a major confrontation. After last week’s cliffhanger, it’s clear he’s not backing down. This week, Bruegel, played by Kim Coates, shows up with his group, and the mood turns serious right away.

When Bruegel asks about The Croat (Željko Ivanek), Negan casually says he’s on “a leave of absence.” What happens next is unexpected, Negan offers a fancy-looking feast to Bruegel and his followers. But the vibe is off. Something feels wrong, and the teaser cuts off before we find out what he’s really planning.

After last week’s cliffhanger, where he seemed ready to go down swinging, the teaser shows Bruegel (Kim Coates) arriving with his people. The mood gets tense fast. Bruegel asks about The Croat, played by Željko Ivanek, and Negan casually replies that he’s on “a leave of absence.” From there, things only get stranger.

Negan surprises Bruegel and his crew with a large feast spread across a long table, calling it “a welcome gift.” But it doesn...

Well The Walking Dead: Dead Cityfans, we’ve finally made it to the end of Season 2. It’s been a long journey filled with reunions, break-ups, impossible survivals, and one incredibly ticked-off grizzly bear, but here we are on the cusp of the season finale. With the anticipation growing, Collider is excited to share a sneak peek of the upcoming episode that’s set for a premiere on Sunday. If you were wondering what Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) had been plotting and planning at the end of last week’s penultimate episode, you’ll want to pay special attention, because it appears that our first look might tease that something wicked is on the way.

For a quick refresher, the tail end of last week’s episode saw Negan ready to fight to the death. In our sneak peek, it looks like the time for brawling has come, as Bruegel...

In the sophomore season of AMC’s apocalyptic spinoff The Walking Dead: Dead City, the two leads, survivors Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan), have been like ships passing in the night — only sharing a few scenes here and there, as they are both unwilling participants on opposite ends of a gruesome battle for control of a methane operation in Manhattan. But in TV Insider’s exclusive clip from the sixth episode, “Bridge Partners Are Hard to Come by These Days,” which airs on Sunday, June 8, Maggie comes to Negan after having lost her son Hershel (Logan Kim), who she believes has run off to be with the Dama (Lisa Emery).

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 4!A new trailer forThe Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 5 teases Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) confronting another Manhattan group as Bruegel (Kim Coates) arrives in Central Park. Dead City season 2, episode 4 focused on Negan getting Bruegel to join the Dama's (Lisa Emery) alliance, blackmailing him because his so-called champion fighting zombie was really a person the whole time. He also told Maggie (Lauren Cohan) the location of a methane production facility, which could help New Babylon's communities learn more about and utilize the technology for themselves.

Now, AMC (via WotNot) has released a new trailer for Dead City season 2, episode 5, focusing on Negan trying to convince Manhattan's last holdout, Christos (Jake Weary), to join the Dama's alliance. Meanwhile, Lucia (Dascha Polanco) seemingly turns on the Foragers, also demanding Negan is found and brought to her. Multiple scenes suggest chaos is about to unfold,...

This post contains spoilers from The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 episode 4.

Believing New Babylon has been thwarted, Dama still wants an army for when they return. In The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 episode 4, "Feisty Friendly," they meet with Bruegel, a new villain for the series.

Meanwhile, Perlie and Maggie want to cut to the chase, asking Negan directly where the methane is so they can retrieve it and go home. But is their biggest enemy someone already close to home?

Realizing that Negan is alive and nearby, Perlie and Maggie decide the best course of action is to ask him directly where to find the methane. Perlie is able to convince Lucia of their mission, ensuring that their people have...

Negan’s (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) family is on The Dama’s (Lisa Emery) mind in an exclusive to Collider sneak peek of this week’s episode of The Walking Dead: Dead City. Titled “Feisty Friendly,” the installment, which arrives this Sunday, will see Negan further pressed to keep up appearances for his new boss, who is happy to hold his family over his head. The Dama is certainly living up to the first word in the episode’s title, as she’s getting a little bit feisty with the leather-clad Negan while he taunts a walker trapped inside a tow truck. Ordering her new enforcer to keep their day in line with his cool, calm, collected, and threatening attitude, The Dama is taken aback when he gives her a sarcastic response. Reclaiming her upper hand, she slyly reminds him that she knows where his family is — forcing Negan to keep...

The second season of The Walking Dead: Dead City has brought with it new challenges for Maggie (Lauren Cohan). It is fair to say that the character has endured her fair share of woe throughout her time on the franchise. Her closest family: her father, Hershel (Scott Wilson), her husband, Glenn (Steven Yeun), and her sister, Beth (Emily Kinney), have all perished before her eyes. At the time Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) was acquainting his barbed-wire baseball bat, Lucille, with Glenn's head, Maggie was pregnant with their son, Hershel (Logan Kim). Maggie and Negan have since had to share the spotlight in Dead City, and it's been clear that she hasn't forgiven him for his actions. It is a pain that has strained Maggie's relations with her son, and seen his loyalties torn.

While Hershel might not have had the broadest impact on The Walking Dead, his role in...

Warning: There are spoilers ahead for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 3, "Why Did The Mainlanders Cross the River?"

The Walking Dead: Dead City star Logan Kim explains where Hershel's loyalties lie in season 2. Even though the Dama (Lisa Emery) had Hershel (Kim) kidnapped and cut off one of his toes, Hershel has remained more loyal to her than to his own mother, Maggie (Lauren Cohan). This led Hershel to start a fire at the docks, which warned the Dama and her forces that the New Babylon Federation was coming, all while trying to hide his true allegiances from Maggie.

While speaking with ScreenRant's Tatiana Hullender, Kim was asked whether Hershel can protect the people he loves while also helping the Dama. Kim hints that Hershel will ultimately have to choose between Maggie and the Dama as he cannot be loyal to both of them. He breaks down...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2, Episode 3 “Why Did the Mainlanders Cross the River?”] Uh oh. Has Hershel Rhee (Logan Kim) been brainwashed into helping the Dama (Lisa Emery) build her brave new world? And what does that mean for his strong-willed mother, Maggie (Lauren Cohan)? By the end of the third episode of The Walking Dead spinoff, it seemed clear that young Hershel had drank the Dama’s Kool-Aid — or maybe eaten too much of her peanut brittle — and has decided to help her bring her twisted vision of a revitalized New York City to life. Below, we caught up with The Walking Dead: Dead City‘s Logan Kim to talk about what’s going on in Hershel’s mind and what lies ahead. How would you describe Hershel’s feelings when he first meets the Dama in the flashback seen at the beginning of the episode? What is he thinking?...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 3!The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 4 trailer has been released, revealing Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) reunion as the Dama (Lisa Emery) gathers new allies. Dead City season 2, episode 3 brought the series' core protagonists the closest they've been since season 1, when Negan kills a member of the Burazi to save Hershel (Logan Kim). He disappears afterward, but Maggie is now determined to find him, becoming notably obsessive about why he saved her son. Meanwhile, he's continuing to be forced to work for the Dama and the Croat (Željko Ivanek).

Now, AMC (via WotNot) has released a trailer for Dead City season 2, episode 4, which confirms that Maggie and Negan will finally be reunited. It also teases the Dama visiting other leaders in New York City, including Bruegel (Kim Coates), to shape alliances against the New Babylon Federation.

The Walking Dead: Dead City is into its second season and with it has come the return of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan). Wielding Lucille and embarking on a rampage in the earlier seasons of The Walking Dead, Negan etched his name into infamy when he crushed the skull of fan-favorite Glenn (Steven Yeun). It is an action Glenn's widow, Maggie, has not forgiven him for all these years. With the passage of time, Negan seems to have turned a new leaf, and admits regret for the loss he caused her. Negan and Maggie's split is something that is not fully understood by Hershel (Logan Kim), her son. However, Kim has pitched an idea on how Dead City might bring back Glenn on-screen.

"Well, we could see maybe a flashback of Glenn, or maybe bring on the ghost of Glenn! Something like that would be cool," Kim tells ScreenRant in an interview.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 2!The Walking Dead: Dead City star Logan Kim, who plays Hershel, has pitched how the spinoff could bring Steven Yeun's Glenn back. Glenn was a core character in the zombie franchise from the very beginning, but was killed by Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) during his introduction in the season 7 premiere. However, his presence is still felt by characters in Dead City, especially Maggie (Lauren Cohan), who still hasn't fully recovered from what happened. This remains a core part of the divide between her and Negan, something Hershel doesn't fully understand because he never met his father.

Speaking with ScreenRant, Kim pitched the idea that Glenn could return in The Walking Dead: Dead City either in a flashback or as a ghost. While the actor is unsure of the latter idea, since Hershel never met him, he does believe...

The second episode of The Walking Dead: Dead City saw Maggie (Lauren Cohan) return to Manhattan with her son, Hershel (Logan Kim), by her side after the pair were nearly killed thanks to some incredibly poor leadership. And, in a teaser for this weekend’s episode, they’ll continue to fight alongside one another for survival now that they’ve returned to the titular island.

Foreshadowing the action to come, the speedy peek gives us a look at Maggie, Hershel, and the rest of those who survived last week’s explosive ferry ride as they fight for their lives against walkers in the overgrown streets and parks of Manhattan. But, the dead aren’t the only ones they need to watch out for, as Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is on the lookout and tracking any potential survivors on orders from The Dama (Lisa Emery). Whatever happens out on the once...

The quest for the methane begins and perhaps ends just as fast. It seems both Maggie and Negan are in similar positions of being forced into the situation, which may be what saves them in the end. In The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 episode 2 "Lesson," we learn just how threatening The Dama can be, and how irresponsible the New Babylon Federation (unsurprisingly) is. Here's a recap of the episode on AMC!

Although Negan has performed for The Dama and The Croat, he returns to his cell, surrounded by the dead cockroaches. Noticing his glum behavior, Victor, the man responsible for watching Negan arrives with a violin and an interesting tale, which is how we know he isn't going to last long.

Victor shares that he despised his violin lessons,...

One of the last times The Walking Dead Universe had a war on the scale of what we're currently seeing in Dead City season 2 was the All Out War storyline from the main show, which pitted the Alexandrians against the Saviors. What's the connection to that war, you may be asking? Well, Negan is once again at the epicentre of things.

However, the Negan we're seeing in the battle for Manhattan is a very different person from the ruthless, cut-throat one who led the Saviors back in the day. Given the fact that he's caught between a rock and a hard place by being blackmailed into being a leader by the Dama, Negan is reluctantly going about his duties. There's something very introspective about Negan this season. On the one hand, you can tell by the occasional wry grins that there's a sadistic side to him that enjoys being reunited with "Lucille 2.0." On the other,...

The Walking Dead: Dead City‘s sophomore round is off to an electrifying start. AMC’s spinoff of the zombie franchise has set up a new battle, taking place in Upper Manhattan, between New Babylon and the bloodthirsty gangs left fighting for room in the concrete jungle. What are they fighting for? The power to control the methane operation that’s strong enough to light up Radio City Musical Hall again. On one side, there’s newly-promoted Colonel Perlie Armstrong (Gaius Charles), not-so-friendly new face Major Lucia Narvaez (Orange Is the New Black‘s Dascha Polanco), and a reluctant Maggie (Lauren Cohan). On the other side, there’s the Dama (Lisa Emery) and the also-reluctant Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), who has been tasked by the former with uniting Manhattan’s gangs into an army to defeat New Babylon. At the top of the list of baddies Negan has to woo...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 1!Jeffrey Dean Morgan hypes up going "a little mano e mano" in The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 against Sons of Anarchy star Kim Coates. In the premiere of Dead City season 2, Negan (Morgan) gathered the groups of Manhattan together to intimidate them into joining under the Dama's (Lisa Emery) rule. One of these groups was led by Bruegel (Coates), a mysterious, rich and powerful leader with plenty of sway across New York City. While not much is known about him, season 2, episode 1 emphasized his importance for later in the story.

Speaking with Deadline, Morgan teased Negan and Bruegel's conflict in The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, confirming the characters will soon be at odds with one another. The actor praised Coates' performance on the show, saying he was impressed by his portrayal of the new antagonist. He also...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 1!Jeffrey Dean Morgan has confirmed in which episode of The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 Maggie and Negan will reunite as conflict builds. The first episode of Dead City season 2 established that Negan (Morgan) is now working under the Dama (Lisa Emery) to unite the groups of Manhattan under her rule. While this is partially a power play, she's also doing this to protect the island from the New Babylon Federation, who have recruited Maggie (Lauren Cohan) among other soldiers in their mission to secure the city's operations of turning zombies into methane.

Speaking with Deadline, Morgan confirmed that Maggie and Negan will reunite in The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, episode 4. While he did not offer details on what their reunion will entail, he did confirm the audience "will see us reunite [in episode 4]," during the halfway point of the season.

Has Twd’s spinoff introduced a wacky time system? (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

The Twd Universe within the show has expanded and incorporated several offshoot trajectories, which can be a little confusing to keep track of. The timeline in The Walking Dead universe is different from what we usually see. While we usually use A.D. or B.C. to mark the historical dates, the Twd universe reportedly has a time marker of its own.

With the premiere of Dead City season 2, there was an unmentioned presence of date in one of the scenes in the first episode. The entrance of the Bricks’ residence had the date “Founded 17 P.D.I.” This dating method could mean a timeline after the outbreak of the dead. While there has been no confirmation about the usage of a new time measure in the show, it can be assumed that there is one, as...

Deadline The real world is kind of crappy right now, so I’m curious, does working in this make-believe crappy world feel like an escape for you?

Jeffrey Dean Morgan A little bit, yeah. One of the reasons I became an actor was to escape some real life stuff. And certainly the world of The Walking Dead...

Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) don’t have it easy in zombie-filled New York City.

Are episodes released weekly or all at once?...

A new clip from The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 shows Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) returning to his old ways and delivering a shock with Lucille during a sermon. Dead City season 2 sees Negan forced to work under the Dama (Lisa Emery) to unite the survivors of Manhattan under her group. His work for her began after Maggie (Laren Cohan) traded him for her son, Hershel (Logan Kim), the latter of whom the Dama threatened to kill if the former antagonist doesn't do as she says.

Now, ScreenRant can share an exclusive clip from The Walking Dead:Dead City season 2, episode 1, showing Negan delivering a sermon to forcibly unite the people of Manhattan. He begins addressing a disgruntled survivor, who grabs Lucille in a rage. However, it electrocutes him, with a soldier using a flamethrower to keep other survivors back. Negan talks about how the Dama's control of ethanol means her...

Season One laid its cards on the table with a striking premise: Maggie and Negan, once mortal enemies, storm a decaying Manhattan to rescue Maggie’s son, Hershel. By the finale, Negan finds himself shackled as a political pawn under the Dama’s iron grip, while Maggie secures her boy’s safety at the cost of uneasy truces.

Season Two vaults directly into those tensions. Negan initially refuses the Dama’s offer to reclaim power, only to relent when the Croat’s threats extend to his hidden family. Across the river, Maggie bargains with the New Babylon forces—offering herself as collateral to keep Hershel alive.

This installment doubles down on its ambitions. Stretching to eight episodes, it carves out space for both lead characters to confront lingering grief and repressed guilt. New survivor enclaves—ranging from cultured zombie-brawlers to folk-ritual mystics—inject fresh oddities into familiar power plays.

In a franchise crowded with spin-offs,...

This Sunday, the dead will rise again, with the Season 2 return of The Walking Dead: Dead City. Despite being part of the title, it isn’t the undead that will be the center of the drama on the offshoot of The Walking Dead. Instead, that honor goes to Lauren Cohan’s Maggie and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan, with the pair of enemies-turned-friends standing in the spotlight all over again for the highly anticipated sophomore installment. In a fresh set of images released to tease the debut episode, audiences are invited to catch a glimpse of Maggie, Negan, and some of the other faces — both familiar and new — who will bring the story back to life on May 4.

While it’s certainly exciting to get a sneak peek of the action ahead of theshow’s return, the images also indicate what we’ve long been fearing about the sophomore season...

The Walking Dead: Dead City was always the weirdest spinoff in The Walking Dead universe. Set in New York City, the show focuses on unlikely duo Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). In season 1, the two worked together to break into desolate Manhattan to save Maggie's kidnapped son, Hershel. However, it turned out that it was all an elaborate ploy to put Negan into the custody of Manhattan's leader, the Dama.

Season 2, which premieres on AMC this Sunday, May 4, picks up where season 1 left off. There will be eight episodes of the show this season, up from six in season 1. Check out our Spoiler-free review below!

Season 2 kicks off with Negan back behind bars, having denied the Dama's (Lisa Emery) offer to place him back into a position of power. With the New Babylon Federation planning to attack Manhattan with the aim of taking over the groundbreaking methane power system,...

After nearly two years, the wait is almost over with a brand-new season of The Walking Dead: Dead City arriving on AMC and AMC+ this Sunday, May 4. There will be a lot of loose ends that need tying up when audiences pick back up with Lauren Cohan’s Maggie and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan, and in a freshly dropped teaser, we’re getting a peek at some of those storylines. With supporting performances from Gaius Charles (Friday Night Lights), Željko Ivanek (Black Hawk Down), Lisa Emery (Ozark), Dascha Polanco (Orange Is the New Black), Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy), Logan Kim, and Mahina Napoleon, the sophomore installment promises to be bigger, bolder, and badder than the set of episodes that first paved the way for the offshoot.

Kicking off the teaser, Negan (Morgan) can be heard saying, “Show’s about to start,” as the character confidently walks into a room.

If you thought The Walking Dead was done for good after the Og show ended in 2022, think again. Because AMC decided to continue the franchise with a spin-off show focusing on Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan reprising their roles as Maggie and Negan. Titled The Walking Dead: Dead City, this show started off with their journey into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan to rescue Maggie’s son.

Now, when the first season premiered, it created the impression that a six-episode show was enough to tell the story of Maggie and Negan’s journey. But now that Season 1 is over, it’s clear that The Walking Dead: Dead City was never intended to be a miniseries. So guess what? AMC has greenlit season 2 for the 2025 premiere.

It’s been a long two-year wait for more of AMC’s The Walking Dead: Dead City, but the spinoff starring survivor foes Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is finally back to take a bite out of the Big Apple once more this May. With Negan trapped in Manhattan doing the Dama’s (Lisa Emery) bidding, he’s back to playing the leather jacket-wearing Negan we first met on screen back on the mothership, using his commanding persona to try and unite the various groups on the island. Maggie, meanwhile, is united with her son Hershel (Logan Kim), but she can’t leave Negan behind — despite their haunting history. Above, AMC has given TV Insider an exclusive peek behind the curtain at the sophomore round with intel from the cast and showrunner Eli Jorné. “In Season 2, Maggie, Negan and all the others are going to be challenged in new ways,...

AMC Networks has released a gripping new trailer for the second season of The Walking Dead: Dead City, and it’s clear that the battle for survival in a crumbling Manhattan is far from over.

Season 2 is officially set to premiere in a few months on Sunday, May 4th at 9:00 p.m. Et on AMC and AMC+, with more brutal showdowns, power struggles, and character clashes on the horizon.

Returning to their fan-favorite roles, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan reprise their portrayals of Negan and Maggie, two characters whose fraught alliance continues to unravel. While the undead still pose a deadly threat, the bigger danger this season might be each other. With tension rising and trust wearing thin, the two find themselves caught in a power play that could reshape the future of the island.

The trailer opens with an eerie cover of “Manhattan” by Rodgers & Hart, setting a haunting tone.

J.J. Abrams (“The Force Awakens”) and showrunner Latoya Morgan’s (“Shameless”) new series “Duster” will debut May 15, with the first official trailer teasing an increasingly dangerous crime syndicate.

“Duster” was produced in association with Warner Bros. Television, with the eight episodes dropping weekly through the finale on July 3.
