‘The Walking Dead: Dead City' season 3 confirmed, with new showrunner and fresh chaos
AMC has officially renewed The Walking Dead: Dead City for a third season, but the show's return will come with major changes, both on and off screen. The Negan and Maggie spinoff is set to begin production this fall, not in post-apocalyptic Manhattan, but in Boston, a location shift that hints at a fresh direction. Most notably, series creator Eli Jorné is stepping down as showrunner. Taking over is Walking Dead veteran Seth Hoffman, a writer and former co-executive producer on the original series. The move suggests AMC is looking to reinvigorate the franchise with new energy and, perhaps, a darker edge. In season 2, Maggie came dangerously close to killing Negan, the man who brutally murdered her husband Glenn, before ultimately walking away. Season 3 will see them attempt the unthinkable: working together to build Manhattan's first thriving community since the outbreak. But AMC teases that 'chaos in the city begins to arise,' raising the question: can they really leave their past behind? The network promises new allies, new enemies, and deeper exploration of Maggie and Negan's fragile truce. For fans, it's a twist-filled gamble that could either redeem or unravel the show's core tension. AMC's president Dan McDermott said the new season will 'push the boundaries of Maggie and Negan's conflicted relationship,' calling the characters 'iconic' and their arc 'still full of surprises.' Whether fans will embrace this shift, especially those still haunted by Glenn's death, remains to be seen. There's no premiere date yet, but with production slated for fall 2025, fans can expect the new episodes to drop sometime in 2026.

In addition, Eli Jorné is stepping down as showrunner, with Seth Hoffman set to helm the show's third season. Jorné developed the spinoff series and has served as showrunner since it began.

'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 was previously a writer and co-executive producer on 'The Walking Dead' during the show's fourth, fifth, and sixth seasons. In that time, he wrote episodes including 'Too Far Gone,' 'JSS,' and 'No Way Out.' Hoffman's other TV credits include shows like 'House' and 'Prison Break.' '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,' said Hoffman.

The official description of Season 3 states, '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?'

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

All episodes are now streaming The new season of what some enthusiasts deem the 'best Walking Dead spin-off' is now available for streaming. From today (July 10), fans can indulge in a binge-watch session of all episodes from Dead City's second season. All that's required is access to Sky Max or an entertainment pass on the NOW streaming platform. UK fans have had to exercise patience, waiting significantly longer than their US counterparts for its release. However, the wait has been rewarded with the simultaneous release of all eight episodes. Here's everything you need to know about The Walking Dead: Dead City season two, including plot, cast and reviews thus far. What is the second season of The Walking Dead: Dead City all about? The series continues the narrative of two of the most beloved characters from the original Walking Dead series - Maggie and Negan. Audiences are accustomed to seeing them at odds, but the first season saw them journeying together into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan isolated from the mainland, reports the Mirror. Their mission was to rescue Maggie's kidnapped son, Hershel. The decaying city is teeming with the dead and inhabitants who have transformed New York City into their own chaotic, dangerous, beautiful, and terrifying world. Season two resumes a year after Maggie infiltrated New York to save her son. Her group, The Brocks, have been compelled to join the New Babylon Federation while Maggie has been attempting to move forward with her life alongside her teenage son Hershel and Ginny. However, the new regime is keen to draft the locals for a daring operation to seize control of the metropolis. In the midst of this, Negan strives to unite the factions that reign over Manhattan, fully aware that an offensive on the city looms. Who is in the cast for The Walking Dead: Dead City's season two? What do the reviews for Walking Dead Dead City season two say? Following the finale of season two airing stateside, comprehensive reviews have started cropping up across the web. The inaugural season was met with quite the acclaim from viewers, with one enthusiast proclaiming: "It's definitely the best of the three spin off shows. I had low expectations going into this as the Daryl spin off was a big disappointment. But I was pleasantly surprised by how good this was and really enjoyed it." Regrettably, the sophomore season hasn't enchanted critics to the same degree. Its Rotten Tomatoes score sits at a lukewarm 63%, a significant drop from the first season's robust 80%. Nonetheless, a critic opined that the show's leads did enough to warrant viewing. Their words: "Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohen make the writer's job easy as they consistently deliver within Negan and Maggie, making Season 2 well worthy of a watch." Another noted: "The Walking Dead: Dead City goes weirder in season 2, with more eccentric groups, all the while continuing its introspective look at Maggie and Negan." What have the star of Waling Dead Dead City said? Lauren Cohan has not only returned to the role of Maggie, a part she's embodied since 2011, but in a thrilling turn of events for the show's second season, the star has also directed an episode of Dead City. Discussing her new undertaking, Lauren expressed: "Being able to direct on a creative level is so satisfying because you collaborate with everyone and you get to you get to go into their world. You go into the production designers' world you go into the costume designers' world." She went on to explain: "I felt like the responsibility to the fans is baked in because we know it, we love it. We just don't want to get in the way of the thing we love. And the responsibility to my co-stars, working with the actors is the best part of the whole thing because we speak the language."
