AMC has announced the fifth spin-off series of The Walking Dead, Isle of the Dead. Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) are one pair that many never thought they would see together in their own series, but it is true.

There had been rumors that Negan might get a spin-off series, as this character’s fanbase is HUGE, but to see him paired with Maggie Rhee? Color me shocked!

The new series is Isle of the Dead and will be set in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan. This setting will make for a much different series than we’ve seen in the flagship. TWD has been set in the woods, and this will be set in a concrete jungle years after the outbreak.

We already have an idea of what  NYC will look like in an apocalypse from movies like Escape from New York, I Am Legend, The Day After Tomorrow, Deep Impact and Independence Day, to only name a few. It will be interesting to see how TWD creators will feature Manhattan in this series.

Fans can now add Maggie and Negan to the list of survivors after the final episode. Since their stories will continue, as will Daryl and Carol in their own series, we can sleep safe in the knowledge at least these four will survive.

Fans’ reactions to this news were primarily positive. But you have many who do not like Negan that will surely be displeased with this news.

I have to agree with TWalkingDWorld! NO romance between these two characters!

Dwight Rovia took a comical approach to show their disapproval.

MeekDeadHead seems excited for Maggie & Negan but not so much for Carol & Daryl.

I also agree with WalkerWyn. Give me ALL the TWDU content.

Leo, aka Negan Street, has a valid point.

The Walking Dead begins filming final episode of the series. dark. Next
