The UWS is Ground Zero for the Zombie Apocalypse—AMC Networks Starts Filming!

Paranormal activity of the fictional kind might appear on the Upper West Side this week. Stalwart Productions, owned by AMC Networks, has posted signs throughout the neighborhood suggesting Thursday and Friday film shoots may be planned for the upcoming season of The Walking Dead: Dead City.

Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan reprise their roles as Maggie Rhee and Negan Smith in The Walking Dead: Dead City, a sequel to the hit original series The Walking Dead, which aired for an impressive 11 seasons from 2010 to 2022. The first episode of Dead City premiered in June 2023, following the pair as they navigate a post-apocalyptic Manhattan—cut off from the rest of the boroughs and the mainland—in search of Maggie’s kidnapped son, Hershel.

In the first six-episode season of Dead City, much of the filming took place in New York City and parts of New Jersey, including the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford. For their upcoming season two, they’ve been re-creating iconic Upper West Side locations in Massachusetts. The reason, according to Cohan, was primarily budgetary. “We really wanted iconic locations that would be representative of the grand scale of New York, and those are really expensive,” said the star in an interview with Collider. “We were able to find places to shoot in Boston that were stunning and that we had a lot of control and access to, and that allowed us to tell the show at a scale that benefits the grandness of a New York Story.”

 One of the production’s filming location signs was spotted at the corner of West 72nd Street and Central Park West, near the 72nd Street subway station, which Dead City recreated in Worcester back in May 2024, according to MassLive. The horror drama series also recreated parts of Central Park in Attleboro, Massachusetts, in December of the same year, as reported by The Sun Chronicle. Using the magic of cinema, it’s likely they’ll be filming pick-up shots to enhance footage already captured out of state, giving it an authentic NYC feel.
