Step into The Walking Dead: Dead City, a gloriously gruesome and gripping new spinoff from one of television’s best-loved franchises. Breathing fresh life into the undead, the brand-new series sees show favourites Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen) and Lauren Cohan (The Boy, The Vampire Diaries) reprise their roles as Negan and Maggie, only this time, their apocalyptic adventures take them into the heart of a zombie-infested Big Apple.
The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 1 is a must-watch for fans old and new and with a second series on the horizon, now is the perfect time to discover this new incarnation as it arrives on Blu-ray, DVD and digital on 7 October 2024 courtesy of Acorn Media International, following its transmission on Sky Max.
Picking up many years after The Walking Dead left off, Maggie (Cohan) is the brave and fearless leader of her own community and spends her days trying to build a stable and happy life for her son, Herschel (Logan Kim – Ghostbusters: Afterlife). However, when her community is ransacked by a group of ruthless raiders and her son is taken hostage by a warlord known as The Croat (Željko Ivanek – Seven Psychopaths, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), she has no choice but to leave the safety of her home and track him down.
Meanwhile, Negan (Morgan) is a fugitive on the run, relentlessly pursued by a group of marshals. No longer traveling with his wife and daughter, he is responsible for the care of a young girl named Ginny (Mahina Napoleon – NCIS: Hawai’i).
When – in a twist of fate – Maggie’s path crosses with Negan and Ginny, she discovers that Negan has a long history with the psychotic crime boss who has her son. Despite their past conflicts, the once-sworn enemies have no choice but to form a fragile alliance.
As they venture deeper into the grim, walker-ridden streets of Manhattan, it becomes clear that the scars of their violent past may be just as menacing as the current dangers they face… It’s now a matter of fight or flight for the pair that were once enemies as they navigate a concrete jungle that has long been isolated from the mainland and harbours unique horrors they have never encountered before… Can our dynamic duo survive the terrors of the city that never sleeps?
