Let the madness begin!
Jeffrey Dean Morgan confirmed production is underway on the Walking Dead spin-off series The Isle of the Dead. The actor, who plays Negan, shared a photo of the pilot script to Instagram with the caption, “Here we go. Xxjd… and a shelf full of sonics.”
The series will see Negan and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) fight to survive in a post-apocalyptic New York City, which has been occupied by misfits and, of course, zombies. Fans will get six episodes in season one, which will air on AMC and AMC+ in 2023.
Production on the new show comes just a few months after Jeffrey and Lauren wrapped filming on the final season of The Walking Dead. In April, Jeffrey wrote on Instagram that it’s “going to take a bit to process” the end of the series, saying, “What a ride it’s been. Huge love to cast and crew… and as far as all you that watch @amcthewalkingdead? Thank you probably doesn’t cover it, but it’s all I got.”
