Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan Talk Season 3 of ‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ and Maggie and Negan’s Relationship: ‘This Is Our Best Season – By Far. She Didn’t Stab Me One Time!’

Beware: AMC’s “The Walking Dead: Dead City” Season 3 is coming. And it might be the best one yet.

“This is our best season – by far. This is such a different relationship now,” said Jeffrey Dean Morgan at Monte-Carlo Television Festival on Saturday, following the premiere of the first two episodes at the festival opening the evening before.

On Saturday, Morgan, showrunner Seth Hoffman and Lauren Cohan met with journalists at the festival to talk about Maggie and Negan, still trying to survive while navigating post-apocalyptic Manhattan.

“Negan was a great villain and now he just got more layers,” Morgan said. “He will always be this person that walked out of a trailer 11 years ago, but he’s more multidimensional. This year there’s such a shift in their relationship that brings out yet another side of him.”

“That’s why I want to play him. It’s still new to me, every year. Who would do a series with two enemies who wanted to kill each other? And yet here we are.”
