In Season 2, as they navigate the growing war of control in Manhattan, the former allies-turned-rivals 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.'

'Negan's been pretty consistent with [his attitude of] 'Can we try to work together? Maybe don't love me, but don't kill me,' either,' Morgan said when asked if there's room for improvement in their tense relationship in the second season. 'We've got a bumpy road at the beginning,' Cohan added, 'and then I'm so excited to say there's something new at the end, but I don't want to say too much.'

‘The Walking Dead: Dead City': Lauren Cohan talks turning the Bay State into a zombified Big Apple
Fans may recall that Negan, once a barbed-wired-bat-wielding villain, killed Maggie's husband Glenn ( In the upcoming season, Maggie and Negan are now on separate paths, dealing with the fallout of season 1's nail-biting finale. Production on the series shipped up to the Boston area after filming much of last season in New Jersey. Advertisement Lauren Cohan in "The Walking Dead: Dead City." Robert Clark/AMC 'We went to check out Boston to see for possibilities for season 2, and found the most incredible locations and the best freaking crew,' Cohan told the Globe over Zoom this week. They were looking for spots they could transform to look like New York City, and to take their 'production dollar a little bit further,' she said. Filming took place in several Massachusetts locales last year, including Bostonians may recognize the 100 Federal Street building in Downtown Boston, which pops up in the opening minutes of Sunday's episode. The premiere also includes scenes featuring Negan filmed at the 'We knew that we'd be able to do something really epic in this place,' Cohan said, noting production designer Bernardo Trujillo's 'sense of history' in bringing the space to life. 'What you're always looking for as a filmmaker is something that fits the story, something that meets the level of the story, and then sends your imagination in even wider directions because the aperture just opens.' A look behind the scenes during filming at St. Jean Baptiste Church in Lowell. Robert Clark/AMC Scott M. Gimple, executive producer on 'Dead City' and chief content officer of AMC's 'The Walking Dead' TV universe, said the team also used exterior and drone shots of the actual Big Apple to help flesh out its portrayal on screen. Advertisement The move to Massachusetts, after shooting season 1 in New Jersey and filming the original series for more than a decade in Georgia, 'gave us a little energy, it gave us a little luck,' said Gimple, noting how many of the locals that the cast and crew encountered 'were so happy that the show was being made in Boston.' Jeffrey Dean Morgan in "The Walking Dead: Dead City." Robert Clark/AMC For Cohan, the trip to the Bay State coincided with her directorial debut in season 2 — she helms episode 6 this season. Cohan said she began contemplating directing toward the end of her run on 'The Walking Dead.' She jumped at the chance on 'Dead City' after a phone call with Morgan, who enthusiastically supported the idea. 'He didn't even let me finish the sentence. He's like, 'You better do it,'' Cohan said. The actress called directing 'an amazing experience,' but found it to be 'challenging,' too, learning to keep her eye on 'all these little wheels spinning' on set. It taught her a 'huge life lesson' about staying focused on one task at a time and working as a team. 'The best parts of directing are that you get to sort of huddle up with each department, and it's a bristling creative environment,' Cohan said. 'I count my blessings every day.' Looking back on her history with Maggie, Cohan can't help but feel a little sad over the character's 'hard road,' having lost her husband and much of her family in the original show and now being forced to reckon with her past again since Negan is back in the fold. Maggie also needs to find a way to reconnect with Hershel. Advertisement 'The part that I feel sad for her now is that the walls of the world keep closing in,' Cohan said. Behind the scenes on "The Walking Dead: Dead City." Robert Clark/AMC 'There's people that you know in life that tragedy seems to befall them … and you still hope for a turn,' she added. 'And this is a really deep, complex relationship and road that leads us to these possibilities of a turn that I think 'The Walking Dead,' that's what it does. And that's what I'm proud of and that's what sustains it.' According to Gimple, audiences keep coming back for more of the sprawling 'Walking Dead' universe because the franchise has always been 'more about characters than plot' and the feelings of audiences, crafting fan-favorite roles that viewers want to invite into their lives. ''The Walking Dead' is about making characters that people love and telling stories that hit them,' Gimple said. 'That hit them in the heart, hit them in the gut.'

What is stagflation and how could it have a major impact Massachusetts?
As consumers and investors deal with great uncertainty with President Donald Trump's tariffs , an ongoing battle with inflation, and a volatile stock market, there is plenty of economic uncertainty. One Massachusetts financial expert believes that as a result, the Massachusetts economy could be looking at hard times ahead. "I think we are heading towards what's called stagflation," said Peter Cohan, an expert market analyst and author of "Brain Rush: How to Invest and Compete in the World of Generative AI," who is a professor of management practice at Babson College. So what is "stagflation?" Cohan explained it has the combination of economic stagnation and inflation, a combination that happened in the early 1970s. "Consumers will be spending less. They'll be spending more on the essentials, and not spending on a lot of things that are not essential," Cohan said. "So that will bring down the economy, which will cause companies to lay off workers who are not needed because they're not growing enough, and that will create this sort of doom loop of people not having their jobs, not having enough money to spend, and companies continuing to lay off at the same time, prices are going to go up." And if that's not gloomy enough for you, Cohan foresees hard times ahead for the Massachusetts economy, between the Trump Administration cuts in higher education fundings and its heavy-handed crackdown on immigration. Can a local "eds and meds" economy heavily dependent on federal research spending survive? "Of course there's the problem of who comes to our schools, on the ed side and also that's also on the med side," Cohan said. "The great thing about Massachusetts is the brain power … It's the mindset. It's the strength of people's minds. When we are unilaterally showing up in the middle of night with an ICE agent, taking people out and throwing them in a prison cell somewhere, will parents from China and India want to send their children here to go to school if that could happen to them?" A significant percentage of workers in Massachusetts health care facilities are immigrants ; what happens if that workforce dries up? Cohan says hospitals and nursing homes "would have to hire people who live in Massachusetts or live in the United States and pay them a lot more to do the jobs that the people who are the immigrants are doing now, and if they're paying more, that means that the going to go up to cover those higher costs." In the WBZ-TV interview, Cohan also discussed the decision-making process he sees in the White House and what the ultimate endgame of these trade wars might be. You can watch the entire conversation above, and join WBZ-TV every Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. for more newsmaker interviews on the weekend edition of "Keller At Large."

UGA Player's Attorney Asks Judge to Vacate Order Over NCAA ‘Bias'
Attorney Louis R. Cohan, who represents Georgia Bulldogs baseball player and graduate student Dylan Goldstein, motioned U.S. District Judge Tilman ('Tripp') E. Self III late Friday to vacate his order earlier in the day in favor of the NCAA and to recuse himself from the case. Self denied Goldstein's motion for a preliminary injunction to allow him to play baseball for UGA beyond his NCAA eligibility. Self reasoned that Goldstein, 24, had failed to establish a viable antitrust claim, including because Goldstein couldn't persuasively establish he would lose out on NIL deals if not allowed to keep playing. More from Federal Judge Who Sides With NCAA Is a Longtime College Football Ref NCAA Wins Again as Court Finds Georgia Outfielder Ineligible NCAA's FY24 Revenue Sets Record, Offset by $3B in Liabilities As Sportico detailed after the ruling, Self has a college sports background that could raise questions about his objectivity. He has moonlighted as a college football referee, mainly in the Southern Conference, and that topic was raised during his Senate Confirmation hearing in 2018. Although it does not appear the judge has worked or been paid by the NCAA, his X account identifies him as an 'NCAA Football Official.' College referees are typically paid by conferences or schools. It is possible that at some point in Self's career he was compensated (directly or indirectly) by the NCAA, such as when he refereed the 2017 FCS national championship, but there is no known record of that occurring. In a six-page brief, Cohan recounts Self's college sports ties and insists 'there is clear evidence of bias which reasonable minds can conclude would affect the Judge's ability herein to remain unbiased, impartial, and unimpaired in making a legal determination which impacts an association to which the Judge is directly linked and affiliated.' Cohan notes that Self has the discretion under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to vacate Friday's ruling and recuse himself. Cohan also points out that the U.S. Code recommends that judges disqualify themselves when their 'impartiality might reasonably be questioned.' Cohan also complains that Self 'didn't tell' the parties that he is, as Self puts it, an 'NCAA Football official,' when it is (Cohan argues) 'impossible to tease out where the Court's bias may begin and end when ruling on issues which directly impact the NCAA.' Self will likely deny the motion since he was obviously aware of his connections to the NCAA and didn't ask to be reassigned. The judge could surmise that there is no conflict since his work as a referee for college football involved a different sport, in a different conference (UGA plays in the SEC), and refereeing a football game arguably has no relationship to whether a college baseball player should be able to play another season. Self might also assert that his self-identity as an 'NCAA Football Official' reflects not working for the NCAA but functioning as a referee in a sport governed by the NCAA. The judge can also reason that his side gig as a college football referee is no secret and has been publicly known for years. He could wonder why Cohan didn't raise the topic during the 10 days of the proceeding and waited to ask for a recusal until after his client lost. It would be a different situation if Self had hidden ties to the NCAA. Tom Mars, a longtime sports attorney and former member of the NCAA's complex case unit, offered a critical take of Self. 'I would have expected the federal judge to disclose his status as an NCAA official to the lawyers as soon as he was assigned the case,' Mars, whose client list has included Jim Harbaugh, Justin Fields, Houston Nutt, Bret Bielema and John Brannen, said in an interview. 'It's not the lawyers' job to look into the judge's background, and reasonable minds could question the judge's impartiality.' Assuming Self denies the motion for recusal and to vacate the order, Cohan could raise it on an appeal to the U.S. Court for the Eleventh Circuit.
