The Walking Dead: Dead City, which stars Jeffrey and Lauren will premiere on AMC and AMC+ in June with six episodes.

The Walkind Dead: Daryl Dixon spin-off, starring Norman Reedus, will premiere next year. An Untitled Rick and Michonne spin-off series starring Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira is also in the works.

“I think the door is open because we are all on the same timeline,” Jeffrey said to E!. “They are existing at the same time. So I think there is the opportunity to bring a character from this show, a character from that show, and do something else that can continue.”

Lauren added “there’s hope of a collision” between the various spinoffs.

“It’s a good territory for us to get into as actors, but our audience is going to want to see it,” Lauren said of exploring the relationship between their two characters Maggie and Negan. “It is so much left on the table. If you’re tethered to somebody you have every reason to never want to deal with and want to hate and you have to, for me it just brings up the biggest questions you can have in life.”

“A lot of it felt the same. We had an intimacy from just being around each other for the last seven years,” Jeffrey said of his working relationship with Lauren. “But at the same time, we got to do all this new stuff and dive into dark places that you really need to trust your partner. Make no mistake, we really are partners in this, on screen and off, and yet she might kill me at any moment. Or maybe me her. Who knows?”

Jeffrey recently revealed that he suffered fractures in both of his feet on The Walking Dead set.
