The ending of The Walking Dead: Dead City season 1 sets the stage for season 2, indicating that there is more story to tell. The spinoff, led by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan, was initially thought to be a six-episode miniseries, but it appears that Maggie and Negan's journey in Manhattan will continue. 

The season 1 finale surprised viewers by pitting the protagonists against each other rather than against the main villain, the Croat. The show's future was not affected by the recent Hollywood strikes, and it has been confirmed that season 2 will happen. The cast will likely include Mahina Napolean, Gauis Armstrong, Željko Ivanek, and Lisa Emery.

 The finale hints at a conflict between Maggie and Negan in season 2, as Negan considers leading the Dama's forces in an attempt to take over Manhattan.
