Watch The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2: Preview
Rising from the grave like one of its titular zombies, The Walking Dead franchise continues on as the first of its three main character spin-offs returns for a second season. Dead City follows former enemies Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffery Dean Morgan) as they continue their adventures in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, now cut off from the mainland and full of danger from both the dead and the living. So, read on below as we explain how to watch The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 online, for free and from anywhere with a VPN.
When we left the crumbling NYC at the close of season 1, Maggie had traded Negan to brutal faction leader ‘The Dama’ (Lisa Emery) in return for her son Hershel (Logan Kim). Season 2 teases the pair on opposite sides of a war for power in the city, hinting that Negan’s alliances may well be changing as he attempts to win his freedom, and for fans keen to see the former villain return to his antagonistic ways, that’s a mouth watering prospect.
Alongside Cohan and Morgan, Mahina Napolean is set to return as Ginny, as are Gauis Armstrong (Perlie) and Željko Ivanek (‘The Croat’). New faces this season include Kim Coates as new gang leader Bruegel and Dascha Polanco as Lucia.
Despite the OG show delivering diminishing returns over the years and shuffling toward a lackluster conclusion, the trio of sequel spin-offs (also including The Ones Who Live and Daryl Dixon) have been surprisingly well received, with Dead City in particular sitting at a respectable 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. Early reviews for season 2 sound promising, with Screen Rant calling the latest batch of episodes “better than the first season in almost every way.”
It sounds like Walking Dead fans are in for another intense batch of episodes, and with Daryl Dixon confirmed for a third outing next year, it’s clear the franchise is far from dead yet.
