AMC announced that the third season of "The Walking Dead: Dead City" will premiere on July 26 on AMC and AMC+. Simultaneously, Entertainment Weekly published an exclusive article with new footage from the continuation and plot details.
One of the main surprises of the season will be an episode set in an alternate version of New York, where people calmly walk on clean streets, and walkers seem to have disappeared. What exactly happens in this episode has not yet been revealed. AMC maintains the intrigue and does not explain whether what is happening is related to a dream, a hallucination, or something else.
The most curious change concerns Maggie and Negan. After years of hatred, the series will finally turn them into a full-fledged team. As noted in the article, the only thing that can now threaten Jeffrey Dean Morgan's character is Maggie's "kindness." The actor himself says that "they needed this relationship for Maggie and Negan to finally be able to move on."
New showrunner Seth Hoffman, who previously worked on the original "The Walking Dead" in seasons four through six, said that the continuation will focus on the characters' attempt to build something new amidst the ruins of the old world.
