Fans of Maggie and Negan are counting down to the return of their spinoff, The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, which will be released on AMC and AMC+ beginning May 4. The upcoming season's trailer shows lots of action, the return of many first-season characters, and some new faces.
The new season of Dead City will see Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) on opposite sides in the fight for control of Manhattan. The Dama (Lisa Emery) was revealed to be the ring leader in charge of things in NYC, but she desires more and has blackmailed Negan to come alongside her. This season, Maggie will continue the complicated relationship with her son Hershel (Logan Kim), who is old enough to comprehend what Negan took from him when he brutally murdered his father, Glenn (Steven Yeun), before he was born.
AMC has released an excellent behind the scene video of the upcoming season, take a look below.
Each video, teaser, and trailer released for the second season builds the excitement for more world-building and character development for characters new and old. Negan steps back into his old ways as he is gifted a new Lucille by the Croat (Željko Ivanek). And Maggie fights to keep her son alive and repair their relationship.
Many cast members will be returning this season and several new ones have been announced.
- Kim Coates - Bruegel
- Keir Gilchrist - Benjamin Pierce
- Dascha Polanco - Major Lucia Narvaez
- Jake Weary - Christos
- Pooya Mohseni - Roksana
AMC has released the opening minutes of the season, which showcase more footage of walkers being harvested in downtown Manhattan, cooked down into a green goo that is used to create fuel and power the city. This was featured briefly in the first season, but appears to be something the upcoming season will shed more light on. As Negan states in the official teaser, "Power equals power."
