"The Walking Dead" universe is getting even bigger. Lauren Cohan (Maggie) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) are starring in a New York City-set spin-off series that will air on AMC next year.

The six-episode "Isle of the Dead" will be showrun by Eli Jorné, who has been a writer and co-executive producer on TWD for multiple seasons and has an overall deal with AMC Studios.



"Isle of the Dead" sees Maggie and Negan traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.

The series, which will launch on AMC and AMC+ in 2023, will be exec produced by Jorné; Scott M. Gimple, who is chief content officer of TWD universe; and Cohan and Morgan.
