Negan and Maggie (Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan) test the limits of their truce in ‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ A walk in the ‘City’: TWD does NYC in ‘Dead City’

By Dana Simpson

The world of horror is pretty equally divided when it comes to fan preferences about the undead. Fast-moving versus slow-moving zombies is one of the most controversial debates of the genre, with fans in each camp planted resolutely in their beliefs as to which one is scarier and why. One new series, however, is dedicated to bridging the gap — or at least appealing to both sides of the argument — by introducing some fast walkers into a traditionally slow-moving zombie franchise.

“The Walking Dead: Dead City” is the newest addition to the TWD universe and it premieres Sunday, June 18, on AMC and AMC+. With four other series having already premiered (many

Cover Story

of which have also concluded) in the franchise, including “Fear the Walking Dead,” “The Walking Dead: World Beyond,” “Tales of the Walking Dead” and the original, “The Walking Dead,” it only makes sense for the newest series, “Dead City,” to up the stakes a bit.

The series derives its name partly for the flagship series and graphic novel, and partly from its unique setting. Despite most of the other TWD storylines taking place in relatively rural areas across the United States, “Dead City” follows two of the franchise’s most popular characters, Negan and Maggie (played, respectively, by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan of “Supernatural”) as they travel away from their familiar dwellings and into the wide,

terrifying post-apocalyptic expanse of New York City in search of Maggie’s son, Herschel (Logan Kim, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” 2021). But just like everything else in the Big Apple, the walkers move a bit quicker.

“We’re in New York City,” said Scott M. Gimple, the original series’ former showrunner (seasons 4 to 8) and current chief content officer. “The tone of the story is a little different, the visuals are different.” Collider also shared more information provided by Gimple, who appears to be keeping rather tight-lipped on the specifics to avoid giving spoilers.

“There are a number of horrific walkers, but there is a mind-bendingly horrific walker coming up that I wasn’t on set for, and I’m

glad I wasn’t,” Gimple noted. “I got to experience the horrific magic at home, and it is magic. It quite possibly will make you throw up. I would just have something handy nearby as you watch it.”

But if gory walkers aren’t your bread and butter, fret not: there is plenty of very human drama to keep the plot rolling as well.

Don’t miss one of the most intricate, heart-wrenching and unsettling series in the TWD franchise to date. “The Walking Dead: Dead City” premieres Sunday, June 18, on AMC and AMC+. (And for those just beginning their “walk” in the TWD universe, so to speak, every episode of every season in the franchise is available to stream on AMC+. All 11 seasons of the original series are also available on Netflix.)

Stroll looks to eradicate ‘pay driver’ status at Canadian Grand Prix

There’s no denying it: Lance Stroll is a rising talent on the track.

Born in Montreal, Stroll currently holds the record as the second-youngest driver to ever start a Formula One Grand Prix. He is the first Canadian F1 driver since Jacques Villeneuve in 1997.

As the son of billionaire businessman Lawrence Stroll, who is part owner of Aston Martin, Stroll has battled the label “Pay Driver” for much of his career while steered by his relentless thirst for speed.

Making his professional debut in 2017, Stroll joined Williams Grand Prix Engineering but trouble ensued after his debut season. The Williams FW41 was the slowest on the field that season, with the team finishing last in the Constructors Standings. His string of bad luck continued with a horrendous crash involving Brendan Hartley in the final lap of the Canadian Grand Prix; an early retirement due to a tire puncture at the French Grand Prix; and a brake failure at the German Grand Prix.

Stroll’s career has taken an upward trajectory since joining his father’s Aston Martin team in 2019. The Canadian is slowly evolving into a tour de force, earning his first pole position at the 2020 Turkish Grand Prix, as well as podium finishes in Monza and Sakhir.

Having proven himself over the past five seasons, Stroll currently sits in eighth place, 117 points behind Max Verstappen for the No. 1 spot in the Driver Standings. Despite a sub-par performance in Monaco earlier this year, Stroll will surely be looking for a strong performance at the Canadian Grand Prix, where a great performance on home soil could catapult his career higher than ever, and potentially silence some critics along the way. The Canadian Grand Prix kicks off Sunday, June 18, in Montreal. Catch all the action live on ABC and ESPN+.

Q: Now that you’re in the 16th season of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” how do you feel about the vast variety of things you’ve been asked to do in your time on the show?

A: I get thrown out of windows. I come out of couches naked. I bleed all over everything. I’ve done everything. I mean, not everything … because there are probably going to be other things. If anybody thinks of anything that they want to see me do, you can write to (the producers), and if it’s outrageous enough, they’ll put it in the show.

Q: Has the era of political correctness made it tougher to do some of the bawdy humor the show is known for?

A: The main thing about that is respect. There’s funny and then there’s abusive. There’s jokes, and everybody kids each other about stuff – but when there’s the violation of personal space, then I think you’re in a big mess. To a certain degree, I don’t think I’ve ever changed anything. Women need to be heard and listened to and that’s great, but I really don’t feel like the majority of the comedians in the world who poke fun at themselves and each other are abusive. I don’t think that’s the case. There are rare cases of that, and they’ve come to the surface.

Q: What do you think the show has done for the reputation of Philadelphia?

A: I’m from New Jersey, a little bit outside of Philly, but wherever I go now – since the show’s been on and is very popular all over the world, basically – people will say to me things like, “Go Philly! Hey, Philly!” Something like that, you know. I think all the Philly people that I’ve encountered so far, no matter how base we are, they just think of it as kind of a cool thing and a feather in their cap. They like our show, I think. And we like Philly, too.
