The next offshoot of the long-running zombie drama will follow all the way to New York. This will be between Lauren Cohan’s embattled Maggie and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan, the reformed villain who brutally murdered her husband before her eyes. Cut off from the mainland for ages, “the crumbling city,” the network teased, is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York ity their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty and terror.”
