Stan has dropped a trailer for the second season of The Walking Dead: Dead City, set to premiere on May 5, the same day as its US release. The series follows Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan.
Here’s the Lowdown: Season two finds Maggie and Negan on opposing sides of a growing conflict for control of New York City. Their intertwined paths become even more dangerous and intricate, making escape far more difficult than either anticipated.
What This Means Now: Fans of The Walking Dead franchise can look forward to a continuation of Maggie and Negan’s strained relationship, now further complicated by open warfare. The trailer gives us the first indication of this new conflict.
The Bigger Picture: Dead City is one of several spin-offs expanding The Walking Dead universe. The new season builds on the existing storyline, exploring the challenges of survival and leadership in a ruined world. Along with Morgan and Cohan, the series also features Gaius Charles, Željko Ivanek, Mahina Anne Marie Napoleon, Lisa Emery, Logan Kim, Dascha Polanco and Kim Coates. The series, and other spin offs, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live are all streaming on Stan.
