How to Watch The Walking Dead: Dead City for Free as UK Fans Finally Get Access

Fans of The Walking Dead have plenty to look forward to this month, as yet another spin-off from the iconic zombie franchise has finally arrived in the UK. More than a year after its US premiere, The Walking Dead: Dead City has made its long-awaited debut across the Atlantic, much to the delight of British viewers.

The launch comes just weeks after the UK release of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, a spin-off set in France. Picking up in the aftermath of the original series finale, Dead City follows two of the franchise’s most compelling characters—Negan, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Maggie, portrayed by Lauren Cohan—as they navigate the post-apocalyptic ruins of Manhattan.

Once a vibrant metropolis filled with dazzling lights and crowded streets, Manhattan is now completely isolated from the mainland. The city has been overtaken by the undead and dangerous survivors who have claimed the ruins as their own. In a desperate bid to rescue her kidnapped son, Maggie turns to an unlikely ally—her long-time adversary, Negan. However, he is now responsible for a selectively mute young girl and is on the run from a formidable group of survivors.

The uneasy alliance between Maggie and Negan forces them to confront their turbulent past while navigating the perils of the present. With their history of bitter conflict, working together is no easy task. Their journey through the infested city is fraught with danger, as both flesh-eating hordes and ruthless survivors threaten their every move.

Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan reprise their beloved roles in Dead City, joined by an impressive supporting cast. Friday Night Lights star Gaius Charles plays Perlie Armstrong, a law enforcer from the New Babylon Federation who is in pursuit of Negan. Also featured is True Blood actor Željko Ivanek as The Croat, a former member of Negan’s old gang, the Saviors. Meanwhile, rising star Mahina Napoleon appears as Ginny, the young girl under Negan’s care.

Comprising six episodes, Dead City is the latest addition to The Walking Dead universe, which is based on the graphic novels by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore. It was the first spin-off to premiere following the conclusion of the main series and marks the third franchise instalment to launch in the UK this year, following The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and The Ones Who Live. Notably, Daryl Dixon has already been confirmed for a second season, set to arrive in October.

The original The Walking Dead series ran for 11 seasons and became a cultural phenomenon, garnering 85 awards, including two Emmys. At its peak, the show was a global sensation, with season four drawing an average of 14 million viewers per episode. Now, with a growing line-up of spin-offs, the legacy of The Walking Dead continues to expand, bringing fresh narratives to long-time fans and newcomers alike.
