Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays Negan, are starring in a New York City-set spinoff series that will air on AMC next year.
The six-episode Isle of the Dead will be showrun by Eli Jorné, who has been a writer and co-executive producer on The Walking Dead for multiple seasons and has an overall deal with AMC Studios.
Isle of the Dead sees Maggie and Negan traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.
