The Walking Dead: Dead City, a spin-off from The Walking Dead that will follow the characters of Maggie and Negan (played by Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan), is set to launch on AMC and AMC+ sometime in 2023. While we wait for a specific premiere date to be announced, the official Walking Dead Instagram account has gone ahead and shared a batch of images from the upcoming show. You can check them out at the bottom of this article.
Eli Jorné, who has been a writer and co-executive producer on The Walking Dead for multiple seasons, serves as showrunner on The Walking Dead: Dead City, which will see Maggie and Negan traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland.

The Walking Dead has come to an end, but Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan will continue playing Maggie and Negan in the spin-off series The Walking Dead: Dead City (which was formerly known as Isle of the Dead). A premiere date for the show hasn’t been announced yet, but AMC has unveiled a teaser trailer, and you can check that out in the embed above! The 20 second teaser is worth a look, especially to see a really gross moment involving a zombie that’s in an advanced stage of decomposition.
