Deadline reports that The Walking Dead: Dead City will make its premiere at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival. The festival runs from June 7-18 in New York City and is organized by Tribeca Productions, which showcases a diverse selection of film, episodic, talks, music, games, art, and immersive programming. This year The Walking Dead universe will see its latest spinoff, Dead City, featured at the festival.
Dead City is a direct spinoff of The Walking Dead which sees the unlikely pairing of Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they embark on a mission to rescue Maggie’s son Hershel (Logan Kim). The setting will be apocalyptic Manhattan, where they will encounter a walker horde one million strong and meet new allies and new enemies.
