Lauren Cohan delved into the mental state of her character, Maggie, as Season 2 begins. "Sadly, not everything is quite as rosy as it could be or seems or one would hope," she explained. Maggie's life remains complex as she navigates the challenges of raising her teenage son and caring for Ginny amidst the backdrop of an apocalyptic world. The season promises to blend these relatable domestic dynamics with the ongoing struggle to survive.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan provided an update on Negan, a character who has evolved from being despised to a fan-favorite. "We find Negan very much under the thumb of The Dama and The Croat, and on some ground he’s not real familiar with," he said. Negan starts the season in a challenging position, constantly scheming to regain control. Morgan also expressed his affection for Negan's iconic weapon, Lucille, a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, named after his deceased wife. "The Lucille of it all, what can I say? I love that thing!" he remarked.

Scott Gimple highlighted the nature of the conflict in Season 2, emphasizing that it's not about a single big bad but rather a complex and shifting power dynamic. "It isn’t all antagonistic. It’s a little more complex like that. It’s a little more political. And then we get kinda physical," he stated, hinting at a multifaceted and engaging narrative.

To whet fans' appetites even further, IGN showcased the opening minutes of the first episode of Season 2. *The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2* is scheduled to air on AMC starting May 4, 2025. Be sure to stay tuned for more updates from IGN Fan Fest 2025.
