The season will follow Maggie and Negan finally setting their differences aside to build the first thriving community in Manhattan since the apocalypse. However, as the chaos begins to emerge across the city, they are left to confront a crucial question: have they truly learned from their past, or will their dark history ultimately doom the entire city?
