The Walking Dead: Dead City, the upcoming spin-off series starring Lauren Cohan’s Maggie and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan, recieved its first-look images at The Walking Dead panel at New York Comic Con 2022.
While we didn’t learn much more about the series that’s set in New York City, the images show a bit of conflict between Maggie and Negan, some stylish shots of them in city streets, and more.
The Walking Dead: Dead City was originally announced as The Walking Dead: Isle of the Dead, but it has officially taken on a new name. The series focuses on a Big Apple that was “long ago cut off from the mainland” and one that is filled with both the living and the dead.
This panel was also the final NYCC panel for the original The Walking Dead series as its final episode will air on November 20, 2022. At the panel, fans were treated to a look at the opening minutes from this week’s new episode and new photography from October 16’s episode.
Norman Reedus was at the panel and spoke a bit about the spin-off that was meant to star his character, Daryl, and Melissa McBride’s Carol. He addressed the rumors as to why she dropped out of the spin-off show, saying “there’s been a lot of talk. Chill. It’s gonna be fine.”
Deals have been made… but at what cost.

He also spoke a bit about the series, teasing what fans can expect.
“It’s in France. It’s epic in scale. I mean it’s ducking epic. I’ve been on locations scouted … it’s crazy what we’re gonna do there,” Reedus said. “I think France is going to have a ducking heart attack. It has a different look to it, a different sound to it.” It’s gonna fun. There’s gonna be a lot of familiar faces. Don’t yell at me.”
