The Walking Dead: Dead City faces challenge in reconciling Maggie and Negan in new spin-off

 

"The Walking Dead: Dead City" is a new spin-off show set to follow fan favorite Maggie and Negan as they navigate through a zombie-infested New York City. The show faces a major hurdle in convincing audiences to believe the unlikely team-up between Maggie and Negan, especially given Negan's past brutal act of killing Maggie's husband. In an interview with SFX magazine, the show's creator and actors addressed the challenge of reconciling the two characters, with Maggie stating that forgiveness is too impossible and the show focusing on exploring grief and restorative justice. The show takes place 15 years into the zombie apocalypse, and the closed-off setting of Manhattan forces the characters to confront their differences. The show premieres on June 18, 2023, on AMC and AMC+.
