On May 23rd, AMC released a first-look video from Dead City Season 2 sets, showcasing the cast sharing some fun moments behind the scenes. The clip shows cast members Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, along with multiple walkers, while a lot of action and explosion goes on. At the end of the video, the release window for the new season is announced as 2025, which means we’ll still have to wait for a while before we get spooked by the horror drama again.
AMC also released the official synopsis for the new season, which teases more trouble for Maggie and Negan. “Maggie and Negan find themselves trapped on opposite sides. As their paths intertwine, they see that the way out for both is more complicated and harrowing than they ever imagined,” reads the official synopsis.
The First Season Concluded in July 2023
Dead City premiered as the first sequel of The Walking Dead in June 2023. The six-episode debut season concluded in the subsequent month, announcing a renewal. By the end of the season, Maggie accomplished her mission of finding her son, Hershel, who the Dama had kidnaped. In exchange, the Dama got her hands on the fugitive she wanted, Negan.
Cohan and Morgan reprise their roles in season 2 as Maggie and Negan, respectively. Other actors returning in the new season include Gaius Charles as Perlie Armstrong, Željko Ivanek as The Croat, Lisa Emery as The Dama, Mahina Napoleon as Ginny, and Logan Kim as Hershel. Additionally, actor Kim Coates joins the show as Bruegel, leader of an NYC gang. Eli Jorné, who served as a writer and co-executive producer on The Walking Dead, is the showrunner of Dead City.
