The Walking Dead: JDM, Jensen Ackles Discussed "Dead City" Appearance

Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jensen Ackles shared that they recently discussed Ackles appearing on AMC's The Walking Dead: Dead City.

With filming about to get underway on the second season of AMC's Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Lauren Cohan-starring The Walking Dead: Dead City, it only makes sense that Jensen Ackles (Supernatural, The Boys) would appear – right? Okay, maybe we blindsided you with that opener – but it's not like all three don't have Supernatural in common. If you're reading this, I'm pretty sure you don't need us to recap Morgan & Ackles' Supernatural connections – and we're pretty certain that you remember Cohan playing Bela Talbot during the third season – so the connections are there. Why are we bringing this up? Morgan and Ackles revealed that the two had a conversation "a couple of weeks ago" about Ackles appearing on "Dead City" during a recent fan event in Burbank.

"Yeah, that would just be phenomenal to see. Yeah, funny enough, we had a conversation a couple of weeks ago about it… um, I think so. I mean, I'd love to have him; he would love to come and do it – sometimes, our schedules won't quite work out the way we want them to," Morgan shared in response to a fan asking about the chances of the two meeting up in TWD universe – adding later that "We'd love it to happen, I'll tell you that."

"This is a real sweet spot, I think, in both our careers, that we can have dear friends who are thriving in a multitude of shows and movies and stuff in this industry. In this industry, people like to work with people they trust, and so now I have – we have – friends who are doing really well and say, 'Hey, do you want to come over and do a spot on the show, or you want to come do this movie together?'" Ackles added. "So, there are those conversations quite a bit but like Jeff said, a lot of it comes down to availability and whether or not they can work that out, but yeah, I think any opportunity [we] get to go play on set together, that's a good jump." Here's a look at a video from the event (also reported on by Covered Geekly):

AMC's The Walking Dead: Dead City follows Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland – on a mission to save Hershel (Kim). The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror. In addition to Cohan and Morgan, the series stars Gaius Charles, Zeljko Ivanek (aka The Croat), Karina Ortiz, Jonathan Higginbotham, Mahina Napoleon, and Logan Kim, with Cohan, Morgan, TWD CCO Scott M. Gimple, Showrunner Eli Jorné, and Brian Bockrath as executive producers.
