“We’re thankful to Eli Jorné for two seasons of Dead City that took the story of these iconic characters in exciting new directions and broadened this thriving Universe by introducing a new corner of the walker apocalypse,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “As we continue to create new stories for a passionate TWD fanbase, we’re delighted to have a seasoned Walking Dead veteran like Seth Hoffman at the helm of a new season, alongside the remarkable Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, that will bring new adversaries and alliances and push the boundaries of Maggie and Negan’s conflicted relationship.”
Hoffman himself shared his enthusiasm: “I’m excited to have the chance to dive back into The Walking Dead Universe and work to deliver another dynamic season’s worth of stories to this epic franchise. It’s a true honor to chart out the next chapter for Maggie and Negan’s iconic adventures in Dead City. Lauren, Jeffrey and Scott are incredible creative partners and I’m thrilled to collaborate with them to bring this story to life.”
What’s Next for Maggie and Negan?
In Season 2, Maggie and Negan finally put aside their differences. To build the first thriving community in Manhattan since the apocalypse. But when chaos in the city begins to arise, they are forced to question: have they truly learned from their old wounds, or will their dark past spell doom for the entire city?
Along with showrunner Hoffman, executive producers include Scott M. Gimple (chief content officer of “The Walking Dead” Universe), Lauren Cohan, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Brian Bockrath, and Colin Walsh.
