AMC recently released a behind-the-scenes look at The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2. The upcoming season will see escalating conflict between former allies turned rivals, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Maggie and Negan’s partnership, born of necessity in the harrowing streets of a crumbling city, fractures even further as they find themselves ensnared in a brutal gang war for dominance over the island.
Watch the clip here. The freshly released synopsis hints at a storyline where Maggie and Negan, having been reluctantly tethered in their quest for survival, is now facing the dilemma of conflicting interests and alliances. The synopsis reads:
“The Walking Dead: Dead City follows the popular Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) characters traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.”
“In the growing war for control of Manhattan, Maggie and Negan find themselves trapped on opposite sides. As their paths intertwine, they come to see that the way out for both is more complicated and harrowing than they ever imagined.”
The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 1 saw Maggie being manipulated into handing over her husband’s killer to powerful adversaries, the Croat (Željko Ivanek) and The Dama (Lisa Emery). This power play revealed The Dama’s strategic depth, having kidnapped Maggie’s son Hershel (Logan Kim) to coerce her into compliance. The season concluded with Negan, once a feared leader of the Saviors, forced into a precarious alliance with The Dama, who offered him a semblance of power in exchange for his cooperation against further threats to her control.
The ensemble cast returns, bolstered by the addition of Kim Coates in a yet undisclosed role, offering new dynamics and challenging interactions. The production team, led by Eli Jorné, alongside a cadre of veterans from various installments of The Walking Dead franchise, ensures a narrative continuity that respects the gritty essence of the original series while exploring new thematic territories. The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 is scheduled for 2025 release.

TWD’s Scott Gimple Teases Avengers-Like Crossover
The Walking Dead’s Chief Content Officer Scott Gimple has hinted at a crossover event that could rival the scale of a blockbuster ensemble film. This ambitious plan aims to combine various narratives from the sprawling zombie apocalypse universe.
Gimple, in a recent discussion, shared his vision for an interconnected storyline that bridges several of the franchise’s series.
“Well I don’t want to give too much away on this, but I will say that they cool thing about all these [shows] is what you were referring to before: you don’t have to see any of these [shows] to watch any of these [shows]. But, if you are watching them all, you get little rewards that you might not have noticed, and I want to keep doing that. So yes, this story does potentially flow into other stories – and certainly, my overall hopes and dreams are to pull everything together at some point. Whether temporarily, or on more of a long-term basis.”
This potential crossover intends to merge the journeys of beloved characters such as Morgan Jones, Daryl Dixon, Negan, Maggie, Rick, and Michonne.
