The Walking Dead: Dead City to Premiere at Tribeca Festival

at .

Maggie and Negan's story continues on The Walking Dead: Dead City and the series will get an earlier launch at Tribeca Festival.

The Knocturnal reports that the first episode will launch this summer ahead of its launch on AMC at an event attended by the cast and creatives.

TWD: Dead City promises a very different sandbox for the characters.

Maggie in New York - The Walking Dead: Dead City

The series has mostly stayed away from the big cities, but Maggie and Negan will be out of their element as they make their way to New York City.

There has been a lot of skepticism about how much story is left to tell for Maggie and Negan.

They hated each other after Negan's actions on The Walking Dead, but they grew to tolerate one another.

Maggie revealed on the series finale of The Walking Dead that there will be days she will resent him for taking Glen from her, but he had earned his place within the community.

So, what takes them to New York?

Dead City follows Maggie and Negan traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland.

Maggie in the Big Apple - The Walking Dead

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.

As many expected, the series finds Maggie in New York looking for her son.

As the trailer suggests, Maggie and Negan are not friends, and their relationship looks filled with more hatred for one another than ever.

The series also stars Gaius Charles as Perlie Armstrong, a devoted family man, Ċ½eljko Ivanek as The Croat, Jonathan Higginbotham as Tommaso, Mahina Napoleon as Ginny, Trey Santiago-Hudson as Jano, Charlie Solis as The Bartender, and Michael Anthony as Luther.

The Walking Dead: Dead City will premiere Sunday, June 18, at 10 p.m. ET on AMC and AMC+.

Before we get to that, we have the first half of Fear the Walking Dead Season 8, premiering May 14.

Later in the year, we have The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.

An Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira-led spinoff is also in the works for 2024.

The Walking Dead: Dead City Quotes

Perlie: My name is Perlie: Armstrong. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I like a good hog stew. Just want to give you a sense of what kind of people I am. I'm not your enemy. I come from New Babylon. Capital city. It's more of a small town, tree-lined streets, families looking out for each other. I got a wife and three daughters. They're my everything. Now, I don't know why you with that man I'm looking for. Or why you've taken one of our marshals hostage. But I'm guessing you got your reasons. Heck, might even be a good one. I'm open to hearing it. And I mean that sincerely. But if I get to you first, I'm going to be a little less open, and I will get to you.

Negan: I hate to even ask, but how do I figure into this, Maggie?
Maggie: The man who's got Hershel, they call him the Croat. Bullshit. You know him. When he scaled our walls, had us surrounded in the dark, right before he took my son. Do you know what he did? [ whistles one high tone, one low tone ] That rings a bell, doesn't it? It did for me. That's the last thing I heard before I met you.
Negan: Oh, that Croat. All right, so what you're thinking is, since I knew this guy back in the day when I was running the show, that maybe I had some special insight into his modus operandi. Or, hell, maybe I could just sweet-talk him into giving you your boy back. We're talking about the same Croat? Let's just say there were a lot of psychos in my crew back then. But he always stood out as being an exceptionally insane son of a bitch. So the odds are if it's the Croat that's got him... No. All right, tell me this. Why would I help you? Maggie: Because you owe me...
Negan: Because I owe you, right.
Maggie: You're the last person that I wanted to ask for help. It doesn't look like you got too many options yourself. Because if I found you here, the marshals will too. Far as I can tell, you have exhausted every shithole.
Negan: Still got a decent setup at Hilltop? Kids? School?
Maggie: I'll put up that girl. You, we see how things play out.
