TWD's Negan & Maggie Spinoff Will Reinvent Franchise, Says Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Jeffrey Dean Morgan has teased fans about the recently announced Walking Dead spinoff series Isle Of The Dead starring fan-favorite characters Negan and Maggie. Morgan joined The Walking Dead with a bang when he was introduced at the tail-end of The Walking Dead season 6 as the vicious and domineering leader of the Saviors. With his iconic outfit and prized bat Lucille, his brutal but enigmatic persona sparked life into the zombie apocalypse series which debuted back in 2010. Lauren Cohan’s Maggie, a staple of the series since The Walking Dead season 2, became obsessed with taking Negan down following the horrific demise of her husband Glenn at Negan's hand.

With the plot very much under wraps, the star characters (who have recently made an uneasy alliance on the main show) will find themselves closer than ever as they embark on their own mission.
