Lucille is back. Negan’s (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) famous baseball bat (and leather jacket) will return in Season 2 of “The Walking Dead: Dead City,” a teaser at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday. Plus, Negan is whistling again, which can’t be good news for anyone.
“I know, I was really exited too,” Morgan said in Hall H when the audience cheered at the Lucille news. “There’s something about that sweet girl that I love… It makes me turn into Negan.”
He added that this season, “he has a love-hate relationship with her.”
Morgan was joined on stage by Lauren Cohan, Željko Ivanek, Gaius Charles as well as showrunner Eli Jorné and chief content officer Scott Gimple.
In the first season of “Dead City,” Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) traveled to a decimated Manhattan in search of Maggie’s kidnapped son Hershel (Logan Kim). By the finale, they are all left in very unexpected positions, as is Negan’s former-Savior-turned-nemesis The Croat (Ivanek). Maggie is reunited with her son, and Negan has been handed over to The Croat’s boss, an even bigger villain who we know little about, the Dama (Lisa Emery).
During the conversation, Cohan revealed that she directs an episode of the upcoming season.
“The Walking Dead: Dead City” also stars Mahina Napoleon as Ginny and Kim Coates as Bruegel. Jorné serves as showrunner and executive producer on the series, which is overseen by Gimple. Cohan and Morgan also serve as executive producers, along with Brian Bockrath.
