Dead City producer Scott Gimple details how NYC makes Walkers even more dangerous. 'In The Walking Dead [...] there were a lot of stretches of woods where you could just hike and camp out. You don’t get to do that as much in the city.'
The Walking Dead: Dead City executive producer, Scott M. Gimple, recently explained how New York City makes zombies more dangerous in the upcoming spinoff series. Set several years after the events of The Walking Dead season 11, Maggie Rhee must ally herself with Negan after a new enemy tears her life apart.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent interview with Collider, Gimple detailed why New York City makes walkers more dangerous in The Walking Dead: Dead City. Producer and AMC's The Walking Dead chief content officer explained that the geography of the city adds an extra layer of danger as well as giving the heroes new ways to encounter zombies that were not explored before.
"A lot of it is situational. The universe has never really lived in a city, the way it will, and in a city like New York, especially. Just environmentally and architecturally, there are so many new ways that we can experience walkers that you couldn’t have. There’s the verticality of the city, and that alone has been the gift that keeps on giving with walkers. People’s relationship to the walkers is also interesting.
In 2010, the year The Walking Dead premiered, Manhattan housed a robust population of approximately 1.6 million residents. However, the addition of outside commuters can see a rise to nearly 4 million people. The high amount of people within close contact would allow the Wildfire zombie virus to spread rapidly, pushing survivors higher in buildings as walkers would likely dominate the streets and ground floors of buildings.
Everything We Know About Dead City The Walking Dead: Dead City will consist of six episodes that focus on the relationship between Maggie and Negan, a far different tone than the ensemble casts of The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead. The series will feature Negan returning to his violent ways of the past as he will do whatever he can to atone for killing Maggie's husband, Glenn Rhee .
