The Walking Dead stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan reunited for the world premiere of their post-apocalyptic zombie spin-off series Dead City, held Tuesday during the Tribeca Festival at the BMCC TPAC’s OKX Theater in Lower Manhattan.
The Seattle native, 57, and the American-British executive, 41, produced and reprized their roles as Negan Smith and Maggie Greene Rhee in Eli Jorné’s six-part show, which premieres next Sunday on AMC/AMC+.
Jeffrey, who relies on stylist Jeanne Yang, showed off his tattooed fingers while posing in an all-black suit with no tie and open-toed dress shoes.
Lauren bared her arms and shoulders in a strapless black peplum top with pockets over baggy pants and matching shoes, chosen by stylist Eliza Yerry.
Hairstylist Seiji Yamada styled Cohan’s brunette bob with a side parting, and makeup artist Andréa Tiller accentuated her green eyes with black liner and applied her glossy pout.

It’s chilling for fans to see how the acting couple hit it off while their character despised the former Saviors leader for five of the 11 seasons of The Walking Dead after Negan met a pregnant Maggie’s husband, Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun), who had been murdered with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, continued in horror.
“She didn’t even make eye contact with me on the show for years!” Morgan confessed in her Emmy cover story.
“We spent years just walking past each other.” She glares at me, I grin at her.’
Cohan added, “I always loved that it was simmering. Maggie always balks at boiling over. “What we see is when something irretrievable happens — when you lose someone and nothing you do can ever bring them back.”
In The Walking Dead: Dead City, the unlikely duo join forces to rescue Maggie’s kidnapped son, Hershel (Logan Kim) from Negan’s former colleague The Croat (Željko Ivanek) in Manhattan.
It turns out that two years before he even made his debut in the dystopian drama, Jeffrey and Lauren met in 2014 while playing Thomas and Martha Wayne in Zack Snyder’s superhero film Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.
“It was cold as hell,” Morgan said of the Chicago set they met.
“It was so cold that two cameras broke.”

The Leopard Skin star was joined on the red carpet by his second wife Hilarie Burton, who flaunted her natural silver roots in a chic white trench coat dress and gold stiletto heels.
The Virginia-born 40-year-old starred as Negan’s on-screen wife Lucille Smith in a memorable 2021 episode of The Walking Dead titled Here’s Negan.
“I remember him leaning over the graphic novels and scripts when the opportunity first came up. Gus was so small. “We all lay in bed while dad studied and prepared,” Hilarie wrote on Instagram on Tuesday.
“And when the first episode of Negan aired… Lord. Little did we know what change it would bring to our lives. if you hate him That’s because Jeffrey is awesome. if you love him That’s because Jeffrey is awesome. But what you haven’t seen is a man who for years flew home every second so he wouldn’t miss football games, concerts or parties in the midst of all that work.
“You haven’t seen the guy who gives up sleep so he can show up for his crew and for his family.” Dead City is going to be great because Jeffrey has more fun in front of the camera than anyone I know. What if he’s a villain? I’m excited! Congratulations to the beaming @laurencohan and the rest of the Dead City gang. I can’t wait to celebrate you all.’
Jeffrey replied in the comments, “I love you.” Gus, George, girls. Her [are] my world. Negan is fun… but he’s not one of you. xxxx’
Morgan was referring to the two children – son Augustus, 13; and daughter George, 5 – welcomed them before finally tying the knot three years ago.
