Morgan can currently be seen in the hit AMC series, The Walking Dead, where he made his debut in the final episode of season six as the infamous antagonist, ‘Negan.’ This performance earned him a 2016 Critics’ Choice Award for Best Guest Performer in a Drama Series.

Following the conclusion of The Walking Dead, Morgan will reprise his role of ‘Negan’ in the upcoming spin-off series Dead City. Along with Lauren Cohan reprising her role as ‘Maggie,’ Dead City will follow the pair through post-apocalyptic Manhattan. Morgan and Cohan will also serve as executive producers on the series that is set to premiere in 2023 on AMC.

Other recent projects include Friday Night in with The Morgans, which premiered in April 2020 on AMC.
