What is The Walking Dead: Dead City about?

Little is currently known about the plot of The Walking Dead: Dead City, but we do know it sees the once villainous Negan and Maggie as they navigate the decimated streets of Manhattan. It has long been cut off from the mainland, and the crumbling city is filled with the dead, who have made New York City "their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror".

We're sure there will still be some tension between the central two, after Negan killed killed Maggie's husband Glenn back in season 7 of the main show.

The series was first announced back in March under the title The Walking Dead: Isle of the Dead, before the name was updated in August.
