In its third run, the spin-off focused on Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) sees the duo finally put aside their differences to build the first thriving community in Manhattan since the apocalypse.

The synopsis for the season says: "When chaos in the city begins to arise, they are forced to question: have they learned from their old wounds or will their dark past spell doom for the entire city?"

This third run features returning stars such as Logan Kim, while Jimmi Simpson, Raúl Castillo, Aimee Garcia and Michael Emery join as new characters.
