Rest in peace. Or not. On November 20, the final episode of The Walking Dead aired, ending the run of one of the biggest shows of all time after 11 seasons. However, just like the titular "walkers," this franchise is anything but dead. The Walking Dead: Dead City marks one of the latest entries in the ever-growing Walking Dead Universe
The flagship series first branched out in 2015 with Fear the Walking Dead, which enjoyed similar levels of success upon its debut. Then there was the limited The Walking Dead: World Beyond which aired for just two seasons in 2020 and 2021. Most recently, 2022 gave us the anthology Tales of the Walking Dead, which presented a new cast of characters in each episode. Though the flagship series is gone, the franchise is anything but dead. It's still "walking," if you will. Fear will air its eighth season in 2023, joined by new spin-offs Daryl Dixon, Rick Michonne, and Dead City.
Let's look at everything we know about The Walking Dead: Dead City. How will it continue the story established by its predecessor? Who will return to the cast, and what new faces will join them? When and where will the series be released? And what else should audiences know about The Walking Dead: Dead City?
Dead City will center on Negan and Maggie in New York City after the events of The Walking Dead series finale. Of course, their arcs together have been anything but smooth, as Negan happily bashed Maggie's husband Glenn to death in the seventh season premiere. For many seasons, Maggie was bent on revenge against the man who took her husband's life. However, in the final season, the group learns that Negan has a wife and family, which has softened him significantly. Maggie admits that she may be willing to trust him.
