The Walking Dead: Dead City Trailer: Maggie and Negan's Journey to New York City Takes a Dark Turn

at .

Are you ready to experience the apocalypse from New York City?

AMC went public with the official trailer on Thursday for the new spinoff, and it looks like a nice change of pace.

The teaser trailer that premiered earlier this month hinted at the fraught relationship between Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

Maggie is in New York on a mission to save her son, and it's sure to be a dramatic experience.

The trailer teases the people they'll encounter, and let's just say the new spinoff is making full use of the new setting.

Maggie in the Big Apple - The Walking Dead

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

"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."

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.

Unlike other shows that have aired in the franchise thus far, TWD: Dead City has a six-episode order, which should make for a lean series, assuming the plot is decent.

It's unclear whether the show can get an additional pickup or if this will be a limited series.

Still, taking this journey to a new city with fan-favorite characters is interesting.

Maggie's New Role - The Walking Dead

The series launches out of Fear the Walking Dead on June 18, at 10 p.m.

If the trailer doesn't sell you on the spinoff, I don't know what will.

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.
