Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) were two of the most popular characters on AMC’s The Walking Dead for years, so when the original show ended, it only made sense to spin them off into their own thing. The result: The Walking Dead: Dead City. Season 1 ran for 6 episodes in 2023 and was popular enough to get a second season greenlit.

I watched Season 1 and enjoyed it, as much as I enjoyed the Daryl Dixon spinoff. What can I say? I’m a Walking Dead fan for life. Until death? Something like that. If you missed Season 1, fret not: it’s coming soon to Netflix, and the Season 2 trailer is here!

Read on for the details, but first? The Season 1 trailer!

Synopsis

Maggie and Negan travel into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland. The city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world.

Season 1 lands on Netflix starting March 17, 2025! Now for the even bigger news: Season 2! The first trailer dropped this week!

 

The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 premieres on May 4, 2025, only on AMC. Will you be watching? Tell us in the comments!
