'Walking Dead' Cameo To Show Up In 'Dead City' Spinoff

TV & Film

Jul 11

Fair warning, spoilers for Dead City are ahead. The latest The Walking Dead spinoff, Dead City, is only four episodes in and not letting fans down. Simon, Negan’s former right-hand man, was seen during a flashback taking place before Simon’s death at the hands of the man. In this flashback, Negan and his bat Lucille are seated in a room at the Sanctuary when Simon comes in to tell him that they “have a problem.”

It’s revealed that the Croat was overstepping, causing residents of the Sanctuary to complain. The Croat, whose real name is unknown, tortured an alleged spy after Negan gave the order to let her walk. Negan is deeply angered by this, but the flashback cuts off before any altercations can progress. As the Croat has been a recurring character and antagonist for this season of Dead City, the flashback is a piece of the frame of his relationship with Negan, who is a very different man now. Simon appearing in this flashback is a practical way for future episodes of this series, as well as other spin-off shows, to bring characters back from the dead.
