The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 finale preview: Negan to go against Dillard

The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 finale is titled "Tenebrae" and will air on AMC on September 13. The official synopsis for the final episode of Season 3 reads as follows:

"Maggie and Negan must confront deadly threats as they work together to save their community from imminent peril."

AMC has unveiled a short teaser for the upcoming finale, which hints that The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 Episode 8 will be a violent ride for Maggie and Negan. After Negan's brutal actions in Episode 7, Dillard is out for his blood and has taken the entire armory hostage. With time running out, Negan will likely go face-to-face with Dillard in the final entry.

Season 3 marks the return of Lauren Cohan as Maggie Greene, Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan, Logan Kim as Hershel Rhee, Gaius Charles as Perlie Armstrong, along with new additions: Jimmi Simpson as Mason Dillard, Aimee Garcia as Renata DeLeon and Raúl Castillo as Luis DeLeon.

What to expect from The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 finale?

The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 finale will be a violent ride. As teased in the short preview clip, Dillard is hell-bent on revenge and is pressing Maggie to get Negan to surrender. The clip starts with Dillard ominously calling on Maggie, likely reminding her about their deal. The previous episode saw Dillard and his Dead Squad raid the armory and take the entire community hostage, including Luis, Renata's brother and the hospital's doctor.

As Maggie and Negan strategize their way into the armory, Dillard will likely torture people in the community as a final warning to the duo. As the clip concludes, Maggie says this, which clearly shows her determination and desperation to save the people from Dillard's brutality:

"I'm not losing anybody else. I've lost enough."

With Dillard taking a complete 180-degree turn in the penultimate episode, The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 finale will be a wild ride. Since the Season 3 premiere, Dillard believed he had a special ability to communicate with the Walkers, which led directly to his insane transformation in the previous episode. After Negan killed two of his chained Walkers, Dillard mutilated his own face in an attempt to persuade Renata to kill Negan. However, thanks to Luis, Renata decided not to choose the path of violence, which eventually led to her death at the hands of a furious Dillard.

Now that Dillard is out for Negan's blood and has taken the entire armory hostage, The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 3 finale will deliver a high-stakes face-off between the men, which will have a lasting impact on the community.
