In a video posted earlier today, The Walking Dead: Dead City star Jeffrey Dean Morgan thanked the fans in Lowell, Mass, for their support.

It was a little less than a month ago when we learned that production was officially underway on the second season of AMC’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Lauren Cohan-starring The Walking Dead: Dead City (along with a teaser), only weeks after FX’s Sons of Anarchy star Kim Coates shared that he had been tapped as the “lead bad guy” (and that the season will be eight episodes instead of six?). Since that time, the crew has been filming some pretty intense-looking stuff in Lowell, Massachusetts – and the fans have been there throughout. To honor their commitment, Morgan posted a video of the fans who were checking out the latest filming. “Thank you, folks of Lowell, Mass!! You folks have been the coolest. Every DAMN DAY AND NIGHT FOR WEEKS!!!” Morgan added with the clip.

Here’s a look at Morgan’s video from earlier today, thanking the fans for their support and for coming out during the days and nights of filming – and if you’re looking for some images, check out Inside Lowell:

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.
