The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 Premiere Date Revealed at IGN Fan Fest 2025
IGN Fan Fest 2025 brought an exclusive premiere date reveal for The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2: May 4, 2025. The announcement included an exclusive clip and interviews with Scott Gimple (Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead Universe), Lauren Cohan (Maggie), and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan).
Cohan offered insight into Maggie's mental state entering Season 2: "Sadly, not everything is rosy," she stated, highlighting the relatable family tensions amidst the apocalyptic setting. The challenges of raising a teenage son and caring for Ginny, a teenage girl, add layers of complexity to her already precarious existence.
Morgan discussed Negan's precarious position, now under the control of The Dama and The Croat: "He's in a place he's not enjoying," Morgan explained, hinting at Negan's schemes to regain power. He also reflected on the iconic Lucille, his barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat, stating his fondness for the prop, contrasting with Lauren Cohan's likely less enthusiastic feelings.
Gimple teased the season's conflicts, emphasizing a shift in power dynamics rather than a single antagonist. He described the season as "more complex, more political, and then we get kinda physical."
IGN also showcased the opening minutes of Season 2's premiere episode.
The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 premieres on AMC May 4, 2025. Stay tuned for more news from IGN Fan Fest 2025.
