On Sunday (March 25), prayers were once again answered, as AMC executives unleashed the first teaser for The Walking Dead: Dead City, an upcoming spinoff series starring Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
The actors will be returning in the roles of Maggie Greene and Negan respectively, and fans have been eagerly awaiting to see what sort of antics the latter has in store. Eli Jorné, who worked as a writer, producer, and co-executive producer on TWD will serve as the showrunner for Dead City.

On their journey, the characters come across "the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror." Seeing as Negan was previously responsible for the brutal death of Maggie's husband, Glenn, fans of the franchise are eager to see how the duo will work together amid such turmoil and with such heavy past resentments. Other famous faces due to appear in Dead City include Gaius Charles, Željko Ivanek, Jonathan Higginbotham, Mahina Napoleon, Trey Santiago-Hudson, Charlie Soli and Michael Anthony.
Along with the teaser, the network said that The Walking Dead: Dead City is premiering this summer.
