The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2, Episode 5 Release Date & Time

The Dama's army is bulking up on The Walking Dead: Dead City. Now that Bruegel and his men are on their side, the Burazi aren't alone in fighting against New Babylon. And they could easily scare them off the way New Babylon looks right now in Central Park. But alliances may be shifting once again to put the odds in New Babylon's favor.

The closer Dead City gets to its Season 2 finale, the more it looks like this story won't be over quite yet. Maggie's son, Hershel, is gearing up to be the next villain and the personal thorn in her side, making his betrayal the worst in The Walking Dead history since Shane stabbed Rick in the back. Negan still has a ways to go before Maggie can fully trust him, but with her allies dropping like flies, she could use all the help she can get. Then there are the mysterious cases of the Croat and Bruegel, one man getting excessively tired of being treated like a kicked puppy, and the other looking for any opportunity to gain more power. Who will break whose trust? Viewers will have to find out in Season 2, Episode 5, "The Bird Always Knows."

When Does The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2, Episode 5 Release?

"The Bird Always Knows" Will Premiere This Upcoming Sunday

Season 2, Episode 5 of The Walking Dead: Dead City will premiere Sunday, June 1 at 9 PM ET. Viewers can watch the episode at that time at two different places: AMC and AMC+. AMC will re-air the episode a few more times over the course of next week at around 1 AM ET for those who missed the initial premiere. And just in case viewers want to catch all the Easter eggs a second time around on Sunday night, AMC is playing "The Bird Always Knows" back to back.

AMC+ is available as its own website or app, or can be added to Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube TV or the Roku Channel as an add-on. New subscribers will get a seven-day free trial to see if the streaming service is right for them. Dead City and other Walking Dead shows aren't the only shows worth watching on AMC+. The platform offers hit AMC shows such as Mad Men, Dark Winds, Interview with the Vampire, Mayfair Witches and Orphan Black. There's also content from BBC America, IFC, and Sundance TV that makes at least a one-month subscription worth paying for.

Maggie and Perlie Get in Hot Water With Narvaez

Meanwhile, Negan Attempts to Recruit the Last Manhattan Gang

Season 2, Episode 4, "Feisty Friendly," ended with yet another shot of Central Park. This time, it's Bruegel overlooking the area, pondering over the possibilities that live in the park. But this would surely mean abandoning his recently made alliance with the Croat and the Dama. But then again, Negan did make an awful embarrassment of Bruegel by blackmailing him into submission. Maybe he'll take a different approach in his meeting with Christos in Season 2, Episode 5.

Speaking of, let's check in with Maggie and Negan. The two have reunited, and it feels… not so good. Things were relatively friendly, with Negan giving Maggie the location of the methane production station but also revealing that Hershel has been working for the Dama behind Maggie's back. Meanwhile, Narvaez has learned from Ginny that Negan's still alive, putting Perlie in big trouble with New Babylon. Maggie and Perlie might as well start packing now for the mainland, because there's nowhere safe for them in Manhattan.
