Massachusetts Welcomes The Walking Dead:

Excitement is in the air as Massachusetts gears up to host the filming of The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2! Originally set in New York, the popular spinoff series is relocating to Massachusetts to take advantage of the state’s generous tax credits and breaks for film productions.

Set to begin filming in the Boston area in April 2024, The Walking Dead: Dead City follows the further adventures of favorites Maggie (played by Lauren Cohan) and Negan (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they navigate through post-apocalyptic Manhattan – a city overrun by the dead and survivors fighting to survive amidst chaos and danger.

The series, which airs on AMC, has garnered a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim for its compelling storytelling and suspenseful plotlines.

The move to Massachusetts presents a significant opportunity for the state’s thriving film industry, bringing jobs and economic growth to local communities. With production set to begin soon, anticipation is running high among local fans and industry professionals alike.

The Massachusetts Film Office website confirms that Dead City Season 2 is currently in production in the state, marking an exciting milestone for the local entertainment industry. While specific details about filming locations remain undisclosed, insiders speculate that various towns across Massachusetts will serve as backdrops for the post-apocalyptic drama.
