DeadCity showrunner teases 'awesome, disgusting, terrifying walkers' in new TheWalkingDead spinoff.
The Walking Dead: Dead City is taking the world of walkers to new heights—literally. The Walking Dead spinoff is moving the franchise to Manhattan, and architecturally, that is exciting. Of course, the series originally started in the streets of Atlanta, with Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes trapped in a tank, but the show quickly vacated the claustrophobia of city streets for the open road, and the greenery of the surrounding areas before expanding across the eastern part of the United States.
Dead City sees a return to that cityscape, bringing Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Maggie and Negan to the city that never sleeps, and the idea of making the city a character in itself was an exciting one to the show's creators. During an interview for The Walking Dead: Dead City, Collider's own Christina Radish spoke with Scott M.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "A lot of it is situational. The universe has never really lived in a city, the way it will, and in a city like New York, especially. Just environmentally and architecturally, there are so many new ways that we can experience walkers that you couldn’t have. There’s the verticality of the city, and that alone has been the gift that keeps on giving with walkers. People’s relationship to the walkers is also interesting.
"It is one of the most awesome, disgusting, terrifying walkers that I’ve seen in the history of the show. There are a number of horrific walkers, but there is a mind-bendingly horrific walker coming up that I wasn’t on set for, and I’m glad I wasn’t. I got to experience the horrific magic at home, and it is magic. It quite possibly will make you throw up. I would just have something handy nearby, as you watch it.
Disgusting, terrifying walkers? Sign us up! The six-episode spinoff series is set around two years after the finale of The Walking Dead, and is likely to debut on AMC this summer. While we wait for more news about the series, check out our interview with the cast of Tales of the Walking Dead below:
