The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 feels like a “reset”

The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 feels like a "reset"

As a die-hard fan with a decade-long obsession with The Walking Dead universe, I am beyond excited for the upcoming season 2 of Dead City! If season 1 was a tantalizing setup, season 2 promises to be the ultimate chess match among our favorite post-apocalyptic Manhattan characters.


Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) will carry on their journey in New York City during The Walking Dead: Dead City‘s second season. While the first season laid the groundwork, the second promises to shake things up. Buckle up for conflict, everyone!

As we move into the upcoming season, viewers can anticipate influential figures in post-apocalyptic Manhattan, including The Dama (Lisa Emery), asserting their power. By the close of season 1, Maggie successfully locates her son Hershel and escorts him to safety. Concurrently, Negan remains in Manhattan, apparently assuming a fresh leadership position within the Burazi. Take a look at the debut trailer, showcasing the reappearance of the infamous barbed wire-covered bat, Lucille.

In conversation with Collider, showrunner Eli Journé revealed that season 2 will incorporate a substantial time leap of approximately six months. This enables Negan, who excels at it, to establish a formidable reputation.

Additionally, Scott M. Gimple, in charge of content spanning The Walking Dead Universe, hinted that season 2 serves as a fresh start for the show.

“Season 1 was a resetfrom The Walking Dead for these characters and it feels like Season 2 is a reset of Season 1, because all thesealliances shift around, and people find themselves on very different sides for reasons they didn’t expect. And that, to me, is the cool thing. It’s always going to go in who knows what direction. It feels like every season can do that and that’s one of the coolest things about this one.”

Jeffrey Dean Morgan: Negan is in “deep shit” in Dead City season 2

Although Negan seems to enjoy his role as a prominent figure in Manhattan at the end of season 1, Jeffrey Dean Morgan suggests that Negan might have taken on more than he can handle. In reality, he’ll find himself in the most exposed position he’s ever been in, and remember this is the man who spent years imprisoned in Alexandria.

Morgan expressed his concern, saying, “Negan seems to be in a tricky situation.” He further speculated, “I believe this is the most exposed we will see him, perhaps even ever. I’ve witnessed him, and he’s in quite a predicament that he needs to find a solution for.”

Negan has consistently found ways to escape from dangerous situations throughout the years; I’m confident he’ll pull through. As for “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” a release date hasn’t been set, but it’s slated for 2025. Before that, we have Daryl Dixon season 2 and “The Book of Carol” premiering on September 29, both airing on AMC.
