Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays Negan Smith in both The Walking Dead and Dead City, revealed his reaction when a throwback of his villain past was aired in Dead City.
The second episode showed Negan in New York when he was always getting into fights. Negan started as an antihero in The Walking Dead, but as the series progressed, his character developed. In this spin-off, Negan is now the hero. A new villain was also introduced, and he is called the Croat, which is played by Željko Ivanek.

He also said that he is beyond grateful for having the chance to reprise his role. He revealed that he likes the fact that he’s able to play around with his role.

Negan was known for his barb-wired baseball bat. It was the one he killed Glenn (played by Steven Yeun) with. Glenn was a beloved character at the time, and this is where Negan really rose up as a great villain in the original series.
Now, he is trying to prove to Maggie (Lauren Cohan) that he has already changed. Coincidentally, Maggie was also Glenn’s girlfriend. So, we have a very dark history between the two.
According to Jeffrey Dean, he thinks that his character really changed even though he thinks that the old Negan is somewhere there. He doesn’t want Maggie to see that side of him ever again, as she has obviously seen it all.
The spin-off series was announced last year. And the first season premiered last June 15. There were a lot of great reviews for the first few episodes. The spin-off follows Maggie when she finds Negan, and they travel together to New York.
