First trailer for The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 sees Maggie fight a bear, Hershel plot revenge, and Negan give Lucille a terrifying upgrade

The first trailer for The Walking Dead: Dead City has arrived and, uh, Negan's bat can electrocute people now.

In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, we see Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and co. make a plan to re-power New York City - literally. We see Maggie (Lauren Cohan) ask, "Why do you want to bring back Manhattan?" before Radio City Music Hall lights up. And keeping with this season's theme of electricity, Lucille has a new, shall we say, feature.

"If you ain't with us...I guess you're in for a bit of a shock," Negan says before someone grabs ahold of the bat, which sends an electric shock through their body. Yeah. Oh and that's absolutely Maggie holding Lucille for a split second - which is wild given their, uh, history.

The first season, which aired back in 2023, left off with the Dama (Lisa Emery), explaining to Negan that she wants to use him to unite Manhattan's various communities in a fight against the New Babylon Federation. Oh and she cut off Hershel's toe, which is most likely why he's out for revenge in the trailer.
