The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 Premiere Date Revealed at IGN Fan Fest 2025

IGN Fan Fest 2025 delivered an exclusive announcement: The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 will premiere on May 4, 2025. The reveal included an exclusive clip and interviews with key cast and crew.

Lauren Cohan (Maggie) offered insight into Maggie's mental state entering Season 2. She described a complex mix of familiar family tensions amidst the ongoing apocalyptic struggle, highlighting the challenges of raising a teenage son and caring for Ginny. These relatable domestic dynamics will be a significant backdrop to the season's larger conflicts.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) discussed Negan's precarious position, now under the control of The Dama and The Croat. He'll be scheming his way out, but faces significant challenges and finds himself in an uncomfortable situation. Morgan also shared his fondness for Lucille, Negan's iconic barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat, a prop he enjoys carrying despite its less-than-fond memories for Lauren Cohan.

Scott Gimple, chief content officer, teased the season's conflicts, emphasizing a shift in power dynamics rather than a single antagonist. He described a more complex, political, and ultimately physical season.

IGN also unveiled the opening minutes of Season 2's premiere episode.
