Winter be Bingeing 26' - The Walking Dead: Dead City - Season Three

The Walking Dead: Dead City, for AMC, is based on The Walking Dead characters Maggie and Negan. 

It is the first sequel to The Walking Dead television series, and the fifth series in The Walking Dead franchise, sharing continuity with the other television series. Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan reprise their roles as Maggie and Negan from the original television series, with Gaius Charles, Željko Ivanek, Lisa Emery, Logan Kim, joining the season three cast are, Raúl Castillo, Aimee Garcia, & Jimmi Simpson.

Last July, the series was renewed for an eight-episode third season, which premiered late July. Currently there is no news on a fourth season. The counterpart series, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon has been renewed for a fourth and final season, which is set to premiere in 2027. Could that be the end of The Walking Dead franchise?

So how does series three wrap in the Big Apple? In a flashback, a lonely Dillard imagines his walker pets as real people. 

In the present, Dillard decides to turn a zombified Renata into Titicaca's replacement and threatens to execute Luis. 

Negan considers surrendering but Maggie, in the alley where they met the fortune teller in the alternate reality, admits that although she will never forgive what he did, Maggie has finally moved passed Negan killing Glenn and considers him family. 

While Negan sneaks past the guards at the community's wall, Maggie releases the walkers from the pens in the subway and Hershel sets off a siren in the apartment building to lure them in while rallying the residents to barricade the doors. 

Maggie, Negan and the walkers kill most of the Dead Squad while Hershel is forced to kill Radomir in defence of a group of innocent people. 

In a final confrontation, Negan attempts to bring his former best friend back to reality, but Dillard is too far gone, forcing Maggie to kill him to save Negan. Honouring Dillard's wishes, the pair allow him to reanimate, finding new friends amongst the dead. 

A week later, life has returned to normal for the community. Hershel completes his first year of medical training, tattoos himself with an image of the community and paints a mural of Renata. Maggie puts away her wedding ring, finally ready to move on from Glenn, and takes leadership of the community. Negan finally joins and accepts Maggie's invitation to be head of security. With Manhattan having been reclaimed by the living, Maggie suggests that they start retaking the rest of New York City.

Will we get to see Maggie and Raúl Castillo as Luis DeLeon become an item? Is Maggie ready for love again after losing Glenn all those seasons ago to Negan's bat.

I much prefer this to Daryl Dixon's story. However, I do think the Walking Dead is really running out of gas. Fast. It might be time to be a knife in the final zombies head, for one last kill.
