Fans of The Walking Dead: Dead City have a thrilling update: Season 2 is set to premiere on May 4, 2025, as announced during IGN Fan Fest 2025. The exclusive reveal was accompanied by a special clip and interviews with key figures in the series, including Scott Gimple, the chief content officer of The Walking Dead universe, and stars Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Lauren Cohan delved into Maggie's mindset as Season 2 begins, sharing, “Sadly not everything is quite as rosy as it could be or seems or one would hope.” She elaborated on the complexities of family dynamics amidst an apocalyptic setting, stating, “My son is still a teenage boy and there are these natural tensions of navigating just family life. And I’ve got Ginny in my care and she’s a teenage girl. And so there are very relatable domestic dynamics that are playing out as we come back in Season 2, on top of this apocalyptic world and trying to eat and stay safe and sleep. That’s where we find ourselves before another big bad thing happens.”
Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays Negan, discussed his character's challenging position this season, saying, “We find Negan very much under the thumb of The Dama and The Croat, and on some ground he’s not real familiar with. He’s going to try flip that script, of course. But he’s in a place that I don’t think he’s enjoying very much. At the beginning of the season we find him having a hard time with all of it. He’s always scheming and trying to figure out how he can get on top of the situation, but he finds himself in a hard spot.”
Morgan also expressed his affection for Negan's iconic weapon, Lucille, stating, “The Lucille of it all, what can I say? I love that thing! But I as an actor, that’s the only prop I’ve ever had my whole life I enjoy carrying around with me. It brought back very fond memories for me. Not for Lauren!”
Scott Gimple provided insights into the season's overarching conflict, noting, “There is no single big bad. There’s a lot of shifting as far as the power ranking for this season. It isn’t all antagonistic. It’s a little more complex like that. It’s a little more political. And then we get kinda physical.”
IGN has also shared the opening minutes of the first episode of Season 2, offering fans a glimpse into the new season's start.
The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 will air on AMC starting May 4, 2025. Stay tuned for more updates from IGN Fan Fest 2025.
