THE WALKING DEAD: DEAD CITY Renewed for Season 3 with New Showrunner at the Helm — GeekTyrant
AMC isn't done with Manhattan's walker-infested ruins just yet, The Walking Dead: Dead City has officially been renewed for Season 3. The announcement comes just weeks after the Season 2 finale dropped on June 22. Eli Jorné, who developed the spinoff and steered it through its first two seasons, is stepping down as showrunner. Seth Hoffman will take over for Season 3, bringing serious Walking Dead cred to the table. Hoffman was a writer and co-executive producer on the main series during Seasons 4 through 6, writing standout episodes like 'Too Far Gone,' 'JSS,' and 'No Way Out.' His resume also includes House and Prison Break. AMC Networks' president of entertainment Dan McDermott praised Jorné's work in a statement: 'We're thankful to Eli Jorné for two seasons of 'Dead City' that took the story of these iconic characters in exciting new directions and broadened this thriving Universe by introducing a new corner of the walker apocalypse. 'As we continue to create new stories for a passionate TWD fanbase, we're delighted to have a seasoned 'Walking Dead' veteran like Seth Hoffman at the helm of a new season, alongside the remarkable Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, that will bring new adversaries and alliances and push the boundaries of Maggie and Negan's conflicted relationship.' Hoffman sounds just as eager to jump back in: 'I'm excited to have the chance to dive back into The Walking Dead Universe and work to deliver another dynamic season's worth of stories to this epic franchise. It's a true honor to chart out the next chapter for Maggie and Negan's iconic adventures in Dead City. Lauren, Jeffrey and Scott are incredible creative partners and I'm thrilled to collaborate with them to bring this story to life.' Production kicks off this fall in Boston, with Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan reprising their roles as Negan and Maggie. According to AMC, Season 3 will see the duo finally set aside their differences to build the first thriving community in Manhattan since the apocalypse, until chaos erupts and forces them to question whether their past will destroy everything they've built. Cohan and Morgan will continue serving as executive producers alongside Hoffman, Scott M. Gimple, Brian Bockrath, and Colin Walsh.

THE WALKING DEAD: DEAD CITY Scores Season 3 Renewal, Releases Synopsis and New Showrunner Info
The Walking Dead: Dead City ended its second season with a disheartening turn of events in more ways than one. The series killed off my homie Bruegel, Herschel betrayed his own mama to be with the Dama, and Maggie still couldn't bring herself to just go ahead and kill Negan. Like girl, either kill the man or be his friend, stop this back and forth! Maggie, Negan, and Armstrong decide to stay in NYC as New Babylon takes over and gains control. It felt inevitable, so it is not shocking that AMC is renewing The Walking Dead: Dead City for a third season. Maggie needs to somehow win her son back over, but that's going to be hard. He's deeply brainwashed by Dama and upset with his mom for not killing Negan. I assume the Bricks is just left to its own devices at this point. Meanwhile, Negan is back to having pretty much nothing and no one after losing all of his men and power in that final battle. RELATED ARTICLE What Happens to Maggie and Negan in THE WALKING DEAD: DEAD CITY Season 2 Finale? He's reeling over the death of Ginny and for some reason isn't wanting to be with his wife and son in another locale. I will never understand that man. And Armstrong is no longer fully on board with New Babylon's actions, which spells eventual trouble for him. There's a lot to wrap up in The Walking Dead: Dead City season three, whenever it arrives. For now, we already have a brief synopsis for season three: In season three, Maggie and Negan finally put aside their differences to build the first thriving community in Manhattan since the apocalypse, but when chaos in the city begins to arise, they are forced to question: have they learned from their old wounds or will their dark past spell doom for the entire city? Y'all. This synopsis is wild. I would have never thought these two would build a community as co-leaders, especially in a wild place like Manhattan. Who will the residents be? Will some of the Bricks people live there? How are they going to do this with New Babylon all over the place? Who knows. We do know that Seth Hoffman will be Dead City's new showrunner, replacing Eli Jorné. It's not totally clear why Jorné is leaving the series but Hoffman was responsible for some great episodes of the flagship series like 'Too Far Gone.' So I'm confident that he will take Maggie and Negan's story to a new level. 'We're thankful to Eli Jorné for two seasons of Dead City that took the story of these iconic characters in exciting new directions and broadened this thriving Universe by introducing a new corner of the walker apocalypse,' said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. 'As we continue to create new stories for a passionate TWD fanbase, we're delighted to have a seasoned Walking Dead veteran like Seth Hoffman at the helm of a new season, alongside the remarkable Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, that will bring new adversaries and alliances and push the boundaries of Maggie and Negan's conflicted relationship.' And it seems we won't have to wait too long for another season. Production is set to begin in Boston this fall. Before we know it, we will be back in the New York groove. Solve the daily Crossword
