What is the plot of The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2
Not much is said about the plot of The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2. However, based on how the show's last season ended and what the trailers have hinted till now, it seems like Maggie and Negan will not get along this season.
This is natural after Maggie almost betrayed Negan in the show's last season and gave him up in return for her son, Hershel. That being said, on February 25, 2025, AMC published an article that highlighted the synopsis for season 2 of the show. It reads:
"In Season 2, in the growing war for control of Manhattan, Maggie and Negan find themselves trapped on opposite sides. As their paths intertwine, they come to see that the way out for both is more complicated and harrowing than they ever imagined."
Details regarding the cast and characters in the upcoming season of the show
As previously mentioned, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan will be returning as Negan and Maggie in The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2. Besides them, Gaius Charles will be appearing as Perlie Armstrong, Željko Ivanek as The Croat, and Mahina Napoleon as Ginny.
Lisa Emery, Dascha Polanco, Logan Kim, and Kim Coates will also appear this season. They will play The Dama, Lucia Narvaez, Hershel Rhee, and Bruegel, respectively.
