The Walking Dead: Dead City has cast a Sons of Anarchy actor in a big role for season 2.
Deadline reports that Kim Coates will join the sophomore season of the Negan-focused spin-off as a character called Bruegel. He’s been described as “the leader of one of the fiercest gangs in New York City who is more manipulative and intelligent than we might have assumed”.
The show features Negan and Maggie in Manhattan, which is in the clutches of gang warfare, not to mention full of the dead.

Season 1 ended with Maggie betraying Negan in order to protect her son Hershel, and the former villain was tasked with doing an incredibly dangerous job for crime boss The Dama.
“I think he thinks he’s f**ked,” Negan actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan said after the season 1 finale aired. “He’s in a position that he didn’t anticipate being in – certainly…
“Any time he can get put into a corner, fun things are going to happen. And so now we leave off here with Negan in a corner and we’ll get to tell the story of him trying to get out of it. Because he’s in a bad position right now, and he knows it.

“That’s a rare position for him, other than when he was in jail for, you know, 10 years in Alexandria.”
We don’t know when season 2 is expected to be released, but Daryl Dixon season 2 is set to air this summer.
The Walking Dead aired on AMC in the US and STAR on Disney+ in the UK. Dead City airs weekly in the US every Sunday. A UK release date is yet to be announced.
