Dead City’ Season 2 Release Schedule—Went Do New Episodes Drop?

AMC’s popular The Walking Dead spinoff is back for its second season. The first episode of Dead City Season 2 is now streaming, but when will the remaining episodes come out on AMC and AMC+? Read on for everything you need to know about about how to watch the next chapter.

In Dead City, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) travel into a post-apocalyptic New York City, cut off from the mainland and infested with the dead and denizens who have made Manhattan their world “full of anarchy, danger, beauty and terror,” the synopsis reads.

In Season 2, as they navigate the growing war of control in Manhattan, the former allies-turned-rivals find themselves trapped on opposite sides. “As their paths intertwine, they come to see that the way out for both is more complicated and harrowing than they ever imagined.”

In addition to Cohan and Morgan, the zombie series also stars Gaius Charles, Željko Ivanek, Mahina Anne Marie Napoleon, Lisa Emery, Logan Kim, Dascha Polanco, Kim Coates, and more.

In a recent interview with TVLine, Cohan and Morgan teased what’s next for their characters in Season 2, as they find themselves on separate factions.

“Negan’s been pretty consistent with [his attitude of] ‘Can we try to work together? Maybe don’t love me, but don’t kill me,’ either,” Morgan said when asked if there’s room for improvement in their tense relationship in the second season.

“We’ve got a bumpy road at the beginning,” Cohan added, “and then I’m so excited to say there’s something new at the end, but I don’t want to say too much.”
