End of Dead City? Scott M. Gimple on the nasty turn of Negan in the final of season 2 and the future of the Twd universe

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 Episode 8, “If History Were a Conflagration.”]

The lights fueled by methane were extinguished in the second season of The Walking Dead: Dead City In what looked more like a sister series with a powerful montage as survivors Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), and the former figurehead of Babylon Perlie (Gaius Charles) are united and decide the future in the war for the Méthane de Manhattan operation.

There are fewer obstacles on their way, it seems, with Bruegel de Kim Coates to a brutal end, thanks to a rabid Negan. However, Dama (Lisa Emery) is still looming with Maggie’s son, Hershel (Logan Kim) by his side, hoping to inaugurate a new era for Manhattan. And there is this second wave of the new army of Babylon which worked on the island in the last minutes.

Below, The Walking Dead The boss of the Scott M. Gimple universe stopped to discuss the future of Dead city And the fascinating final of the season.

First of all, to return a little to the penultimate broadcast on June 15, what was Hilarie Burton resumed her role of Negan Lucille’s wife [Burton and Morgan are real-life spouses] Through Negan’s hallucinations?

Scott M. Gimple: Whenever we can work with Hilarie in any way it is wonderful because it is wonderful and talented. [And] The character Lucille unlocks things from Negan that no one else can. A whole other person briefly emerges [when he sees her]. And it’s incredible. It could have to do with reality behind this because they are an incredible couple in real life, but even if you forget the series for a minute and return to Robert [Kirkman, original comic creator] Work – The way Robert represented Lucille dimensioned the character incredibly. It was just another movement of genius by Mr. Kirkman, what can I say?

Negan was really put to the test in these last episodes. He talks about the saviors who need to save from him, God giving him a second chance over and again, and finally, he decides that he will align them all and kill them all. Of course, at the end of the episode, he returned to the Negan that we know Dead city So far, but would you say that the previous round was it to pass the full bad mode?

[As a fan] I believe he was returning briefly and even emples with what he was before, because of all the losses he suffered and a non -fun vacation he had in New York. But I think that after all the things he has experienced, and the things we know about him, that the public knows – I don’t think it can stay. But I think the devil on his shoulder made a very good game.

These dormant children saw walkers in 207 in the hospital. Can you confirm if they were in fact the type of dormant walkers that we saw before in the universe?

I have to leave this one to the public. Personally, I would call him dormant, but they could also be hallucinations.

The end of the season montage really felt like it could have been a series. Will there be a season 3?

I will say this, there are so much more history to tell in my mind. But you know me, I cannot confirm or deny this kind of thing, and it’s a wild world. We will see.

However, it was like a great end despite everything.

Something was finally done. Something that was long to come, and something incredibly difficult to reach. When I say finally, I don’t say to myself: “Oh, it should have happened a long time ago.” I don’t want to say that like that. I mean that, between these two characters, it was very difficult to think of any kind of [closure] And to get there, you know, it’s a remarkable journey.

Can you say anything in the third season to come from The Walking Dead: Daryl DixonWith Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride, who returns this fall? You will go to a new corner of the world, again.

In fact, some new corners. We will see some places. And there are very good casting stars and guests – it’s a whole season. I have to go out and visit and it’s an incredible thing to see the show in Europe. It’s just a crazy thing and, you know, coming, doing it as long as me, starting as a writer / producer in a small town in Georgia, and now he covers the world. It’s absolutely crazy. It’s a bit overwhelming.

Is there anything else about the future of the TWD universe you want to tease or say? Is there a hope that we could get another show or something like that?

It is so difficult to say. It’s a crazy world, but we are working on really cool things and some things are closer than others. There is like a great thing that I really hope, and I do a lot of work on it. Sometimes I am the only one to see these shows, do you know? Because I see them in my head as we work on it. And so, I suppose I can say the thing I look at now [in my head] On which we work, I really appreciate it.
