Emily Kinney returns as Beth Greene in an upcoming episode of The Walking Dead: Dead City, appearing in the franchise’s first alternate-reality storyline. The episode imagines a peaceful, zombie-free world in which Beth and her sister Maggie reunite, underlining the lasting emotional impact of Beth’s death on the original series.

Collider’s preview of Episode 6, “Genesis”, shows Beth meeting Maggie in Central Park during a festive scene, with Beth carrying her guitar and telling Maggie that she is happy. The episode airs on Sunday and is framed as a reflective pause amid Maggie and Negan’s efforts to build a functioning settlement in post-apocalyptic Manhattan.
