Recently, AMC released its first teaser for the third season of The Walking Dead: Dead City. But with this newest trailer, we get many more story details. We see that Maggie (Lauren Cohan) has become enamored with the idea that humanity can truly rebuild out of the city of Manhattan, a place with water, food, electricity — and lots of weapons. But her companion and frenemy, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), is far too cynical to believe that can be possible anywhere. Can they make the dream of a truly functioning society in New York come to pass? Judging from The Walking Dead: Dead City season three trailer below, they’ll certainly have their work cut out for them.
Alongside the trailer, here’s AMC’s official synopsis for the third season of The Walking Dead: Dead City:
In season three, Maggie (Cohan)and Negan (Morgan) finally put aside their differences to build the first thriving community in Manhattan since the apocalypse, but when chaos in the city begins to arise, they are forced to question: have they learned from their old wounds or will their dark past spell doom for the entire city?
The Walking Dead: Dead City is the fourth spin-off of the massively successful post-apocalyptic zombie franchise. The first season of Dead City premiered in 2023. But production for the second season was delayed thanks to that year’s WGA strikes. Season two finally dropped in 2025, and that year, AMC announced that the eventual fourth season would be the show’s last. But we still have a long road ahead before we get to the end. For now, we’ll content ourselves with this new The Walking Dead: Dead City season 3 trailer and all its twists and turns.
In addition to Cohan and Morgan, The Walking Dead: Dead City season three also stars Jimmi Simpson, Raúl Castillo, Aimee Garcia, Michael Emery, and Logan Kim, who plays Hershel, Maggie and Glenn’s now-teenaged son. Kim replaced Kien Michael Spiller, who played the character on the original The Walking Dead. The first episode of season three premieres on AMC and AMC+ on July 26.
