Dead City will be set in New York this time—far different from The Walking Dead’s original location. That said, fans are about to see a big difference from the show when the spinoff finally drops.
The Walking Dead: Dead City Synopsis
Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) will be meeting the biggest threat in his life in Dead City, and it’s none other than Maggie (Lauren Cohan). This side of the story is not surprising at all, given that Negan killed her husband, Glenn (Steven Yeun), in front of her in The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere. But despite that, the two have developed a civil relationship, building trust between them.

So, they’re now navigating life in a city full of walkers on their own. They will be traversing “a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland,” the series’ synopsis read. “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.” Aside from starring in the series, Morgan and Cohan will also executively produce the show with The Walking Dead veteran head Eli Jorné.
