Maggie And Negan Can’t Keep Their Hands Off Each Other In New ‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ Trailer (2024)

FAQs

Why do Maggie and Negan hate each other? ›

As fans of The Walking Dead may know, Maggie and Negan don't get along well. It's all because of Negan, who back in the day murdered Maggie's husband right in front of her and all of their friends in that iconic scene from season 7, in which Glenn is beaten to death by Negan with Lucille.

Thankfully, that never happened.

The Walking Dead: Dead City is an American post-apocalyptic horror drama television series created by Eli Jorné for AMC, based on The Walking Dead characters Maggie and Negan.

When last seeing Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) in The Walking Dead, they seem to end on neutral terms. Most notably, Maggie's anger toward Negan is supposedly lessened. Plus, audiences also get a glimpse at Maggie's leadership over Hilltop as it starts being rebuilt.

It wasn't like they became friends, but they were able to set down the knives and Maggie was able to let go of her hatred for the man who killed her husband and the father of her child. She didn't forgive him, they weren't going to be besties, but the hatred she held for him in her heart was gone.

Maggie somewhat unsurprisingly betrays Negan, revealing that her true intention was not to save her son with Negan but rather to give them Negan and leave with her son.

Maggie despises Negan, but she needs him. Negan regrets what he did to Maggie, but he resents that he'll never be able to stop looking over his shoulder around her. They have to lean on each other while wanting nothing more than to push each other away. As an audience member, that's fun to watch.

The long-awaited moment Maggie finally forgives Negan might've been understated, but The Walking Dead's all-important scene succeeded... despite a spinoff specter.

Alpha (Samantha Morton) flips the tables on the usually in control and co*cky Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) by making him strip down in the woods on the mid-season premiere. Negan thinks he's about to be killed. Instead, the two wind up having sex.

The term "roamer" is used most frequently in the Comic Series. A term used by Negan Smith to refer to the walkers inside the Subway Tunnel.

What will Daryl spin-off be called? ›

The deal had reportedly been sealed in recent weeks before McBride's exit from the show. In October, the series was given the title Daryl Dixon. In January 2023, it was announced that the series would be titled The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and premiere later in 2023.

But moments of catch-up are necessary to understand where these characters have been since The Walking Dead series finale. Maggie and Negan made their peace with one another in the series finale of The Walking Dead, with Maggie presumably letting go of her longstanding yearning to get revenge for Glenn's death.

Although Glenn's death was tragic, it's unhealthy for her to fixate on that moment for so long, and even worse for Herschel to see that. Ultimately, Maggie retaining her anger toward Negan shows that she never let go of Glenn's death, and this most likely has been eating at her until the events of Dead City.

This is ultimately what made Ginny so sure that Maggie couldn't be trusted; she knew then that Maggie had lied when she claimed that the Croat took all of it and was using Herschel as a hostage to force her into procuring more. The grain was all part of her elaborate ruse to get Negan to Manhattan.

She later takes him on a long walk, which he assumes is the last walk he'll ever take. Instead, Alpha orders Negan to strip off his clothes; she does the same, and the two alpha survivalists lock lips — raising some hygiene concerns given Alpha's zombie mask, among many other questions.

Maggie despises Negan, but she needs him. Negan regrets what he did to Maggie, but he resents that he'll never be able to stop looking over his shoulder around her. They have to lean on each other while wanting nothing more than to push each other away.

Beta leads the Whisperers to war against the survivors in revenge for Alpha's death. Maggie wants to kill Negan as revenge for killing Glenn, but ultimately decides to spare his life. After her sister Colette was killed by an unnamed rapist group, Elodie took revenge by killing every member of said group.

"She kind of blackmails him into helping. She knows that he's a wanted man, so she's like, 'Look, I can help you get away. They're on your tail and we can get out of here. You help me save Herschel, and then I won't turn you in.
