Gimple also teased what fans can expect from the walkers in Dead City, sharing that, "There are some incredibly notable walkers this season. ![]() RELATED: First 'Walking Dead: Dead City' Teaser Reveals a Neon Soaked Zombie Island Jorne was quick to detail the parts of the city which excited him the most from a storytelling perspective, saying: Gimple (EP, Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead universe) and Eli Jorne ( Dead City showrunner) about the series and asked the duo about the decision to move to New York-and what viewers could expect from the evolution of the walkers who exist in Manhattan. During an interview for The Walking Dead: Dead City, Collider's own Christina Radish spoke with Scott M. Of course, the series originally started in the streets of Atlanta, with Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes trapped in a tank, but the show quickly vacated the claustrophobia of city streets for the open road, and the greenery of the surrounding areas before expanding across the eastern part of the United States.ĭead City sees a return to that cityscape, bringing Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Maggie and Negan to the city that never sleeps, and the idea of making the city a character in itself was an exciting one to the show's creators. The Walking Dead spinoff is moving the franchise to Manhattan, and architecturally, that is exciting. It’s like an exercise in intimacy with the worst person.The Walking Dead: Dead City is taking the world of walkers to new heights-literally. We’ve seen them intersect so often, but in this show, it’s really this tunnel that they’re trapped in to face things they may have run away from, more so what Maggie has run away from and what Negan brings up for her. The tension and unmovable things are still very present. “And more than anything, it’s a chance for us to be forced together on this mission. In Dead City, we really get a chance to, ‘What is this? What does it take to move through it?’” Cohan said. “It’s interesting because we see a very unprocessed level of trauma that we know happened between Maggie and Negan. What would this surprise team up between Negan, the man who killed her husband Glenn (Steven Yeun) mind you, and Maggie mean for the both of them? The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.Īt the panel Cohan addressed the elephant in the room. The Walking Dead: Dead City follows Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they travel into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, long ago cut off from the mainland. And for characters like Maggie and Negan, who’ve been running through the woods for a long time, it’s just a whole new world that’s just extremely claustrophobic, scary, and also, as you’ll discover, has pockets of survivors, you’ll get to see all the strange new ways they live in the apocalypse, it’s definitely like nothing you’ve seen before.” ![]() “It’s New York there’s skyscrapers up to the sky and a million and a half walkers. We haven’t really lived in a city like this.” Jorné said. “It’s The Walking Dead like we’ve never seen it before. ![]()
