It really is quite the lovely time to be a fan of The Walking Dead Universe. Because now that the franchise is free and clear of the confines of the comic book, it is offering up some of the most amazing zombie stories we’ve ever seen. After all, Daryl Dixon is giving us a fascinating look at life around the world under the rule of the dead, complete with a powerful journey for Daryl that is helping him grow like never before. Also, The Ones Who Live was an outright masterpiece that brought an end to one of the scariest aspects of the franchise, the Civic Republic Military, while also allowing for Rick Grimes and Michonne to go new places emotionally as characters.
​
Plus, Dead City finally took us into the heart of a thriving undead metropolis. By allowing for us to see what New York City transformed into after the dead made it their home, and season one also explored the echoes of trauma that Negan and Maggie carry from their experiences together in the flagship show. Which makes for an enriching and unique story, one that obviously we are dying to enjoy more of and that’s another big reason it is such a great time to be a fan. Because AMC Networks knows the fans need a little sampling, in between shows, to keep them going and that’s brought forth year-round news on the franchise, and wonderful trailers and sneak peeks, like the one that hit the web today.

For earlier, AMC released a behind-the-scenes look at season two of The Walking Dead: Dead City, which is in production now, and we are here to share that sampling of season two, and some updated details on year two of Maggie and Negan’s Manhattan adventures… with all of you. Because we know you’re eager to take part in all the gifts that AMC bestows upon the loyal fans of this incredible and beloved franchise.

‘AMC Networks released a behind-the-scenes look at production on the second season of The Walking Dead: Dead City, premiering in 2025 on AMC and AMC+. The hit series in the Walking Dead Universe stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan as the fan-favorite characters “Negan” and “Maggie.”
 
The Walking Dead: Dead City follows the popular Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) characters traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.
 
In season two, in the growing war for control of Manhattan, Maggie and Negan find themselves trapped on opposite sides. As their paths intertwine, they come to see that the way out for both is more complicated and harrowing than they ever imagined.
 
The series also stars Gaius Charles, Željko Ivanek, Mahina Anne Marie Napoleon, Lisa Emery, Logan Kim and Kim Coates, amongst others. Eli Jorné, who has been a writer and co-executive producer on The Walking Dead for multiple seasons serves as showrunner and executive producer on the series, along with Scott M. Gimple, chief content officer of The Walking Dead Universe, Cohan, Morgan, Brian Bockrath, Michael Satrazemis and Colin Walsh.’
