What occurs when The Walking Dead meets Escape from New York? You get Isle of the Dead, the most recent spinoff in The Walking Dead universe. Debuting in 2023, the six-episode first season will see Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) collectively on the island of Manhattan, in the post-apocalyptic world of The Walking Dead. Yes, you learn that proper. Maggie and Negan, collectively.

“I’m delighted that Negan and Maggie’s journey continues,” Morgan said in a statement. “It’s been such a ride walking in Negan’s shoes, I’m beyond excited to continue his journey in New York City with Lauren. Walkers in an urban setting has always been such a cool image, but 5th Avenue, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty? The greatest city in the world?? The backdrop is amazing, but it’s the story that Eli Jorné cooked up that is even better. Buckle up folks, Isle of the Dead is going to reinvent the TWD Universe. Huge thank you to Dan McDermott, Scott Gimple and AMC for having us back for more… we simply can’t wait.” As Morgan talked about, Eli Journé, an govt producer and author on The Walking Dead, is the showrunner.

“I’m thrilled to partner with Dan McDermott and the team at AMC on the next chapter in The Walking Dead Universe,” Cohan mentioned in her personal assertion. “Maggie is very close to my heart and I’m excited to continue her journey against the iconic backdrop of New York City, alongside my friend and collaborator, Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Eli Jorné has created something incredibly special and I cannot wait for the fans to see what we have in store for Maggie and Negan.”

Back when The Walking Dead was at its peak, audiences had been shocked when then mega-villain Negan beat Glenn (Steven Yeun) to loss of life with a bat. The identical Glenn who was married to Maggie. Much has occurred since then, together with Cohan leaving the present for awhereas and Negan changing into virtually an anti-hero—but Maggie did come again nonetheless hating Negan, and Negan not too long ago left the present scared for his life due to Maggie. But, apparently, they’ll see one another once more. The query is, are they associates or rivals?

What are your ideas on this? Are you enthusiastic about this present? More excited than the Carol and Daryl present? Will we see this earlier than the Rick film?
