A first Look at Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s ‘The Walking Dead’ spin-off

 
Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s ‘The Walking Dead’ spin-off is premiering next April. Here are the show’s first photos.
  • Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan will star in a “The Walking Dead” spin-off next year called “Dead City.”
  • AMC debuted the first photos from the show Saturday at NYCC’s “The Walking Dead” panel.
  • “The Walking Dead: Dead City” will premiere on AMC and AMC+ in April 2023.

In March, AMC announced that “TWD” characters Negan and Maggie are getting a spin-off after the main series ends in November.

Fans were surprised by the news because the two characters notoriously don’t get along. As a reminder, Negan killed Maggie’s husband, Glenn.

Don’t worry. Maggie hasn’t forgiven Negan (and likely never will). But on “TWD” the pair have a level of respect for one another.

The series will follow Maggie and Negan as they travel through a post-apocalyptic New York City, which has been cut off from the mainland.

It’s unclear why Maggie and Negan would team up and be in NYC. They could be searching for Maggie’s son and Negan’s wife who haven’t been in any promos yet.

The series’ first season will contain six episodes and also introduce us to some new characters, like this bartender played by Charlie Solis.
