Fans of “The Walking Dead” were treated to the first teaser for “The Walking Dead: Dead City” Season 2 at New York Comic Con, revealing that the series will return in Spring 2025. The panel, featuring AMC’s Scott M. Gimple, stars Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and other cast members, previewed what’s next for the sequel series. Notably, Cohan is stepping behind the camera for the first time to direct episodes in the upcoming season.
The series continues to explore the story of Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) as they navigate a Manhattan cut-off from the mainland.
