While UK viewers still have a couple of weeks to wait, they will soon be able to watch the further travails of Lauren Cohan's Maggie and Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan, as they find themselves on the opposite sides of a war for Manhattan.

Scott Gimple previously told Collider of the new run: "It feels like season 2 is a reset of season 1, because all these alliances shift around, and people find themselves on very different sides for reasons they didn't expect.

"And that, to me, is the cool thing. It's always going to go in who knows what direction. It feels like every season can do that and that's one of the coolest things about this one."

Season 2 will pick up with Negan under the Dama's control – but will Maggie rescue him? Viewers will have to find out, while those in the US continue to wait for news of a potential season 3.

Once Dead city season 2 has been released, Walking Dead fans can still look forward to the third season of Daryl Dixon, meaning they won't need to be too bereft if they binge their way through the entire box set in one go.

But if you're wondering when the season will finally be released, here's everything you need to know.

When will The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 be released in the UK?

Behind her, a large, semi-transparent image of Negan looms, with a serious gaze and grey-streaked beard, holding his iconic barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat. The background features a dark, abandoned city street illuminated by red neon signs reading “HOTEL” and “RADIO CITY.”
