Curious where to watch The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2? The answer is refreshingly simple: it's coming to AMC and AMC+ on May 4. Your favorite post-apocalyptic odd duo is back, and they're diving headfirst into another round of New York's undead hellscape. So if your Sundays have been feeling a little too peaceful lately, don't worry: chaos is back on the menu.

The Walking Dead: Dead City

The Walking Dead: Dead City

AMC

Now, let's rewind for a second. Season 1 was a slow-burn that left us with one major truth: Maggie's not done fighting, Negan's not done leading, and New York is absolutely not done being terrifying. The last we saw, Maggie's son was still in danger, and Negan was being called to help Maggie under false pretenses. Add in Željko Ivanek's deranged Croat and suddenly, Manhattan looks less like the Big Apple and more like a rotten core.

But hey, Dead City isn't your standard The Walking Dead spin-off. From Fear the Walking Dead to The Ones Who Live, the TWD universe has really stretched itself. Still, what makes Dead City hit different? It's the setting. 

And honestly, how Negan or Maggie have survived this long is anyone's guess. Season 2 dives deeper into that uneasy alliance.

So, if you're wondering how to watch Dead City Season 2 without cable here's what you need to know. Catch the trailer below.

How to Watch The Walking Dead: Dead City on AMC+ via Prime Video

AMC+ via Prime Video might just be one of the best ways to watch The Walking Dead: Dead City. Amazon Prime is $14.99/month or $139/year and offers Prime Video content, deals on products, and more. You can get AMC+ through Prime Video for an additional $6.99/month after a seven-day free trial.


How to Watch The Walking Dead: Dead City on Hulu + Live TV

If you're looking to brave Dead City live as it drops on AMC, Hulu + Live TV is locked and loaded. For $82.99/month, you'll get 95+ live channels — including AMC — plus the full streaming trio of Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+. That means you can watch Maggie and Negan dodge walkers in NYC and binge something lighter afterward to calm your nerves. Unlimited DVR means no need to stay up late if you're more of a next-morning survivor.


How to Watch The Walking Dead: Dead City on DIRECTV STREAM

Want to tune into Dead City the moment it hits AMC without messing around with extra gear? DIRECTV STREAM has you covered. The Entertainment package includes AMC along with over 90 other channels, unlimited cloud DVR, and plenty of device support so you won't miss a single power play or zombie ambush. Pricing typically starts around $86.99/month, but check your zip code — your local rate may vary.


How to Watch The Walking Dead: Dead City on Sling TV

Need something more budget-friendly? Sling TV is a solid pick and the good news: AMC is available on all Sling plans.

How to Watch The Walking Dead: Dead City on Philo

How to Watch The Walking Dead: Dead City from anywhere with a VPN

If Dead City isn't available in your region, don't let geo-blocks shut you out of the apocalypse. A reliable VPN can mask your location and give you access to AMC or AMC+ as if you were streaming right from the U.S. Whether you're living abroad or just off the grid for a bit, it's a solid workaround. Services like ExpressVPN (great for live TV), NordVPN (known for frequent deals), and Private Internet Access (a budget-friendly favorite) are all solid choices. Once you're connected to a U.S. server, just log into your streaming platform and step back into New York's undead nightmare — no detours, no delays.
