AMC‘The Walking Dead: Dead City‘ has spent two seasons watching Maggie Rhee and Negan claw their way through the ruins of a broken Manhattan, and their partnership has always felt like it was one bad decision away from collapsing. Fans went into episode 2 wondering whether Maggie and Negan could actually hold onto the fragile peace they’d just found. That question sits at the center of episode 2, titled ‘Haven,’ which aired Sunday, August 2, 2026, exactly one week after the season premiere. Ahead of the season’s release, Jeffrey Dean Morgan offered his own read on where things stand between Negan and Maggie this year. Did Maggie make the right call by relighting the Statue of Liberty and opening the hospital to new survivors?
