The Walking Dead: Dead City has just dropped a 30-second teaser, and it finally reveals how Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) get to New York City.
When we last saw the two of them, Maggie and Negan had come to an uneasy truce, but she hadn’t forgotten that he killed her husband Glenn (Steven Yuen). In The Walking Dead series finale, Negan walks off, and it is assumed that he will live in one of the remaining communities with his wife, Annie. We would never have thought that he and Maggie would team up to find her and Glenn’s son, Hershel (Logan Kim), but that’s what happens in the new series.
From what we know thus far, Hershel is kidnapped by a mysterious man named Croat (Željko Ivanek). Who he is and who he works with or for is unknown. Watch the teaser below:
Maggie and Negan team up in The Walking Dead: Dead City teaser
In the short trailer, Maggie and Negan arrive in Manhattan via boat. Negan’s face is seen on a wanted poster handed out by a new character, Perlie Armstrong (Gaius Charles), who is hunting him in the city.
This may be why Maggie takes Negan with her to NYC, because he has a history there and may even know Croat, the man who kidnapped Hershel. Considering what Negan did to Maggie, helping her is the least he can do, and I think he knows that.
I’m so stoked to discover what this journey will look like for the last two people on Earth I ever thought would team up. The Walking Dead: Dead City premieres on AMC and AMC+ on June 18.
