AMC has picked up the Manhattan set The Walking Dead spin-off, Dead City, for a third season, with Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan back as Negan and Maggie.
The return will see a change in showrunner with Eli Jorné stepping aside after two seasons to be replaced by franchise veteran Seth Hoffman. Production is set to start towards the end of the year.
We’re thankful to Eli Jorné for two seasons of Dead City that took the story of these iconic characters in exciting new directions and broadened this thriving universe by introducing a new corner of the walker apocalypse. As we continue to create new stories for a passionate TWD fanbase, we’re delighted to have a seasoned Walking Dead veteran like Seth Hoffman at the helm of a new season, alongside the remarkable Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, that will bring new adversaries and alliances and push the boundaries of Maggie and Negan’s conflicted relationship.
Dan McDermott, president of AMC Networks entertainment and AMC Studios.
Hoffman wrote ten episode of the original series across seasons four, five and six.
I’m excited to have the chance to dive back into The Walking Dead universe and work to deliver another dynamic season’s worth of stories to this epic franchise. It’s a true honor to chart out the next chapter for Maggie and Negan’s iconic adventures in Dead City. Lauren, Jeffrey and Scott [Gimple] are incredible creative partners and I’m thrilled to collaborate with them to bring this story to life.
