We spoke w/ 'The Walking Dead: Dead City's Scott M. Gimple about Maggie and Negan, and the series' future.
The AMC series The Walking Dead: Dead City follows Maggie , as she enlists Negan to journey with her to post-apocalyptic Manhattan, which is a very different environment than either of them have experienced before. Filled with dangers everywhere, both walker and human, the crumbling city tests them in new, terrifying, and sometimes very bloody ways that really push their tolerance for each other to the limit.
GIMPLE: And I loved something you said on the panel, when they were asking about the pandemic, you were relating this show even more, just to the state of things in the country and looking at each other like enemies, yet we’ve gotta work with each other. This is a very, very heightened version of that.
JORNÉ: As with anything, it developed organically. Pieces came in at different times and gradually things started to gel. JORNÉ: The thing a lot of people forget about Manhattan is that it’s an island. And in the post-apocalypse, it’s very much an island.How was the six episodes decided? Are all these spinoffs going to be six episodes? Does it depend on what story you’re telling?
JORNÉ: The universe definitely has its heroes and villains, but what I always liked about Maggie and Negan is that, as things evolved over time in The Walking Dead, the mothership show, not to nerd out, but with Maggie hanging Gregory in Season 9, and Negan’s arc and who we’ve seen him become, at times, has made the black and white picture of the universe and their relationship a lot grayer over time. I would say that will translate into this show.
