The Walking Dead: Dead City

Dead City will pick up about two years after the events of The Walking Dead’s final episode, where Maggie and Negan had a heart-to-heart discussion. She explained that while she appreciated him saving her son’s life, she could never forget what he did to her husband, Glenn (Steven Yeun).

This saw Negan take his pregnant wife Annie (Medina Senghore) away from the communities to live their lives. Maggie and Hershel (Kien Michael Spiller) were situated at a rebuilt Hilltop.

The new series will see Hershel (now played by Logan Kim) abducted by a man Negan used to know, and Maggie tracks him to Manhattan. She will need Negan’s assistance in securing the boy’s rescue.

This series is a drastic change from the main series’s wooded setting, and Maggie and Negan will have to set aside their differences to save Hershel.

The Walking Dead: Dead City premieres on AMC on Sunday, June 18, at 9 p.m. ET and on AMC+ on Thursday, June 15. Don’t miss this highly anticipated Walking Dead spinoff.
