The Walking Dead: Dead City season 1 recap
Maggie and Negan's unstable relationship is put to trial in season 1 of The Walking Dead: Dead City when they go to Manhattan to look for Maggie's kidnapped son, Hershel. The first season showed a new, dangerous world where people still alive are just as dangerous as zombies.
They have to get through the dangerous streets of Manhattan, where they meet hostile groups and the mysterious Croat, a former Savior who has taken Hershel hostage to trick Negan into a trap.
This season, Maggie and Negan's complicated past shows how Negan's actions have left deep scars. As they move through the city, they come across a group of survivors who show them the way to The Croat's stronghold.
At the end of the season, Maggie makes the shocking choice to trade Negan to The Croat for her son. This makes Negan question Maggie's intentions. The Dama, the leader of the Burazi, forces Negan into a dangerous alliance at the end of the season, setting up a scary storyline for season 2.
The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 will be available on Netflix.
