The Walking Dead franchise is forcing two unlikely allies to team up in its latest spinoff, The Walking Dead: Dead City. Lauren Cohan reprises her role as Maggie Green, the longtime main group member and widow of Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun). Jeffrey Dean Morgan is Negan, the once-ruthless leader of the Saviors who eventually reformed and joined forces with the main group. What makes Maggie and Negan an improbable duo? Negan beat Glenn to death with a barbed baseball bat named Lucille.
Several years after the events of The Walking Dead finale, Maggie now finds herself in a dire situation. Her son has been kidnapped and taken to postapocalyptic and secluded Manhattan. While attempting a rescue, Maggie stumbles upon Negan. Negan agrees to help the desperate Maggie find her son in Manhattan. A Walking Dead show means zombies are not far behind, as Manhattan is full of the dead. Yet, it’s those that are still alive who may pose the biggest threat.
