“We can’t wait to bring Dead City fans back to the epicenter of Manhattan for more zip-lining action with Maggie and Negan. And, ahead of its debut, we’re thrilled to double down on Daryl as we bring the apocalypse to France, transforming Notre Dame, Pont du Gard, and other iconic locales into an apocalyptic landscape unlike anything we’ve seen before.”
The Walking Dead’s official Twitter account shared a clip from Negan and Maggie’s Dead City spin-off, which takes the two characters into New York, confirmed the news that a second season would be on the way. “Thank you all for making Dead City a hit,” the clip teases. “AMC Plus’s most-watched series ever… So, we thought you all… might like to know… Dead City will be back for season 2.”
The Walking Dead’s universe continues to grow with yesterday’s reveal of a short teaser trailer – featuring the return of Andrew Lincoln’s Rick and Danai Gurira’s Michonne. The series is scheduled to debut on AMC and AMC+ sometime in 2024.
