The news comes with the opening minutes of the eight-episode second season, which stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan as fan-favorite characters Negan and Maggie.
“The Walking Dead: Dead City” follows Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) as they travel into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, long ago cut off from the mainland.

The series also stars Gaius Charles, ลฝeljko Ivanek, Mahina Anne Marie Napoleon, Lisa Emery, Logan Kim, Dascha Polanco and Kim Coates, amongst others.
Eli Jornรฉ, 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.
