Fans of the parent series should not be out of place, since the living dead are still numerous, and ready to do anything to devour a little more human flesh. This short trailer of Dead City also reveals the main antagonist, as well as various other actors and actresses who take part in the casting.

Dead City: what is the story of The Walking Dead spin-off?

Dead City is one of three spin-offs that have been announced to expand the Walking Dead Universe. While Rick and Michonne should share the star of an upcoming spin-off project, and Darryl will find himself in the heart of post-apocalyptic Paris, the first spin-off to see the light of day honors Maggie and Negan.

The two characters have a rather tumultuous shared past, given that Negan killed her late husband, Glenn, in cold blood when he was at the head of the Saviors, a group of survivors that numbered around a hundred individuals. However, water has flowed under the bridge since then, and Negan seems to have found his way to sanity. Although it was difficult, Maggie even found the strength to forgive her nemesis in the final season.

This new series takes place in a devastated New York, where the two ex-antagonists must face a new threat. More specifically, the official synopsis tells us that the plot of Dead City takes place a few years following the events that occurred in the Commonwealth (season 11), in the Manhattan district. The two main characters will have to join forces to save Hershel, Maggie’s son, from the clutches of a group of survivors led by a new psychopath, called “the Croat”.

The first season of Dead City should be straight to the point, since it will only involve six episodes.

The actor Gaius Charles (Friday Night Lights) also plays the character of Perlie Armstrong, one of the Marshals of New Babylon.
