Walking Dead fans are counting down the days to the premiere of the second season of The Walking Dead: Dead City. The upcoming eight-part season will debut on AMC and AMC+ on May 4 at 9 p.m. ET and pick up the story approximately six months after the events of season 1.
The first season of Dead City featured six episodes that began airing in June 2024. This spinoff focused on expanding the stories of Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), two characters introduced in the flagship series.
The long time enemies teamed up in the first season to rescue Maggie's son Hershel (Logan Kim) who had been abducted by one of Negan's former saviors. The season followed the duo as they journeyed through post-apocalyptic Manhattan, a city over run by the undead and many brutal gangs.
If you need to schedule a rewatch or if you haven't had the opportunity to watch, The Walking Dead: Dead City season 1 is available to stream on Netflix. The series is added to a long list of AMC original series which are available on the streamer as part of an ongoing partnership.

Dead City also introduced several new cast members including several that will return for season 2. This list includes Gaius Charles, Željko Ivanek, Mahina Napoleon, Logan Kim, Jasmin Walker, and Lisa Emery.
As with most new seasons of Walking Dead spinoffs, new cast members have also been added. The upcoming season features Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy, American Primeval), Dascha Polanco (Orange Is the New Black), Jake Weary (It Follows), Keir Gilchrist (It's Kind of a Funny Story), Anthony Molinari (General Hospital), and Pooya Mohseni (Madam Secretary) as new comers to the show.
Coates portrays Bruegel, a ruthless leader of a gang in New York. Polanco, Molinari, and Gilchrist are members of New Babylon that is run by Governor Byrd, portrayed by Jasmin Walker.
Season 2 of Dead City will see Maggie and Negan on opposite sides of the battle for control of Manhattan. The promotional videos feature Negan back to his old ways, leading a gang with a new version of his trusty sidekick, Lucille.
