Walking Dead Spinoff Centered on Negan and Maggie Greenlit by AMC

Proof positive that you can’t keep a good woman down — or, for that matter, a (formerly?) bad man. AMC on Monday announced that it had greenlit a Walking Dead spinoff centered on Lauren Cohan’s Maggie and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan.

Premiering in 2023, the new series Isle of the Dead will follow the unlikely pair — what with him having murdered her husband and all — into what the network calls “a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland.

“The crumbling city,” AMC adds, “is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty and terror.”

Walking Dead vet Eli Jorné has been tapped to executive-produce the six-episode Season 1 along with Cohan and Morgan, with the whole show being overseen by Scott M. Gimple, chief content officer of the Walking Dead Universe.

I want to care... I'm just not really sure if I do.

1. Ok!

2. yeah... though the spinoffs with the original TWD characters aren't as unappealing as the others...

especially, but not limited to the supercilious one about the teens in "Beyond" and whatever they did with "Fear" after they killed off most of the original characters including Kim Dickens.


I have a 30-day freebie coupon for AMC/AMC + that I haven't used because I'm not really sure I'm that interested in the last season of the "original" TWD.

4. The one-shot comic Negan Lives was fantastic

and likely the source material for this spinoff. These are two of my favorite characters from the comics.
