After Dead City night at Citi Field, the fun continues on Wednesday, April 30, at the Paley Center Dead City screening and Q&A session. There will be red carpet arrivals and a screening of the season premiere, followed by a Q&A session with the cast.
It has been a busy week for the undead after walkers took part in the NYCRUNSBrooklyn Experience Half Marathon on Sunday and the Rooftop Films Special Advance Screening on Monday.
Here's the description of the upcoming season of The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2: "The Walking Dead: Dead City follows the popular Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) characters traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, long ago cut off from the mainland. In season two, in the growing war for control of Manhattan, Maggie and Negan find themselves trapped on opposite sides. As their paths intertwine, they come to see that the way out for both is more complicated and harrowing than they ever imagined. The series also stars Gaius Charles, Željko Ivanek, Mahina Anne Marie Napoleon, Lisa Emery, Logan Kim, Dascha Polanco, Kim Coates, amongst others."
