As for the drama keeping Maggie and her best frenemy apart? Well, it isn’t super clear exactly how at odds Maggie and Negan will be in Dead City’s follow-up installment, but we do know that they both have aligned themselves with opposite forces fighting for control of New York City. Joining the leading stars is all call sheet that includes Dascha Polanco (Orange Is the New Black), Gaius Charles (Friday Night Lights), Željko Ivanek (Madam Secretary), Mahina Anne Marie Napoleon (Show Me More), Lisa Emery (Ozark) and Kim Coates (American Primeval). The season will also see Morgan’s Negan reteam with his beloved barbed wire-covered bat, as Lucille makes her highly-anticipated return.
In addition to starring, Cohan will also take a stab at directing in Season 2, with the actress’ name attached to the sixth episode in the second installment. Previously speaking with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, the Supernatural alum teased,
“But really, it is pure luck that I got this particular episode, and I say that because, on paper, it was my favorite episode of the season and I didn't know until closer to the time that would be my directing episode. It has really meaty action, but it also has a lot of quieter, interactive storyline between characters that was very emotional and sensitive and sort of my sweet spot with what I would want to do with directing. So, I just really felt like it was the perfect thing for me to start this in."
