Has a trailer been released for season 2 of The Walking Dead: Dead City?

At SDCC 2024 an official teaser for Dead City Season 2 was released. Daryl Dixon Season 2 was introduced with a full trailer. Dead City The teaser for season 2 is just over a minute long, but shows enough to give an insight into the story. The trailer shows the usual characters in new areas of Manhattan and outside of the city. Notably, the only shot of Ginny in the teaser is in a cornfield, so she may still be with the Bricks while everyone else is fighting in Manhattan.

Logan Kim’s promotion to series regular is put to good use in the teaser. He’s often seen with his mother, probably against his own taste given their broken relationship, but this season at least he takes an active role. Kim has hinted that Hershel will be a “dark character” this seasoncreating an interesting dynamic between him and his mother. Maggie and Negan are at the forefront of the trailer, with Negan enjoying his new role in the Dama community and Maggie morally torn about her decision to sacrifice his life. Between Maggie and Negan, however, there are moments with the new characters that are unmissable. You definitely have to watch them multiple times to discover them all.

How did season 1 of The Walking Dead: Dead City prepare for season 2?

Dead City Season 1 didn’t have a happy ending for the characters. The good news is that this leaves more room to give them a proper closure in the next seasons. In the Dead City In the first season finale, Maggie trades Negan’s life for the Croatian’s in exchange for her son Hershel. Maggie thinks that everything is fine now that she has her son back, but there is still a lot of tension between her and Hershel. Her son believes that she was so focused on hating Negan and wanting revenge that she neglected her own child. In response, Maggie says she will make everything right.

Meanwhile, Negan has learned that it is not his old buddy, the Croatian, who is in charge. It is actually a woman named Dama who leads her own group in Manhattan. After hearing stories about Negan during his glory days as leader of the Saviors, She commissioned the Croat to recruit him so that they could unite several communities in Manhattan against the New Babylon Federation. If Negan doesn’t comply, the Dama will come after Hershel again. When Negan feels comfortable, Perlie Armstrong returns to New Babylon, where he lies to his superior, the Prefect, about killing Negan. The Prefect is more interested in the Croats’ methane deposits, but she has suspicions about Perlie.

What is The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 about?

Season 2 of Dead City is becoming very much a repeat of seasons 7 and 8 of The Walking Dead. Six months after the Dead City Finale of the first season, Negan is back in top form with a new version of his old bully Lucille and with pipes to scare his enemies. The only real difference is that there might be a part of Negan that wants to put the past behind him. As the season one finale suggests, Negan only helps the Dama so that Hershel can be safe. But as he gets back into the daily grind, he might find that old habits die hard.

Maggie seems to be teaming up with Perlie this season to kill two birds with one stone. While she tries to find Negan to prove to her son that she is not a “monster,” she could also help Perlie save New Babylon from the Dama forces. At the same time, Perlie could open his eyes to how New Babylon’s harsh laws affect civilians, now that he is a victim as well. There will obviously be a lot of self-realization within the characters this season, but let’s just hope there are no unwanted romances between characters whose relationships are rooted in trauma.

The second season of The Walking Dead: Dead City will premiere in 2025. Season 1 can be streamed on AMC+.
