The Walking Dead: Dead City
Maggie and Negan travel to post-apocalyptic Manhattan - long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made it a world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyDead City mostly gets a mixed reaction: people like the ruined Manhattan premise and the Maggie and Negan pairing, but the story and character choices leave many shrugging. Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are doing the heavy lifting, and their acting gets real praise, even when Negan and Maggie feel more frustrating than fun. Eli Jorné’s spinoff gives the pair a new playground, though the plot often feels more familiar than fresh. Some jokes land, and the city’s visuals get noticed, but pacing is a quieter complaint. Still, with three seasons out, the draw is simple: Maggie and Negan in a world full of dead and dangerous survivors.
