![]() ![]() “I’m thrilled to partner with Dan McDermott and the team at AMC on the next chapter in ‘The Walking Dead’ Universe,” Cohan said. She went on to star in the ABC series “Whiskey Cavalier,” but returned as a full-time “Walking Dead” cast member going into the show’s eleventh and final season. All of us are thrilled to take you on an all new, all different TWD epic for the ages.”Ĭohan has been with “The Walking Dead” as Maggie since Season 2, though she was partially absent from the series during the latter half of Season 9 and most of Season 10 after a contract dispute. “Lauren and Jeffrey have always been fantastic collaborators and now, we bring that collaboration to the next level with a series that will take these characters to their limits with the world - and each other. “Eli has created a chaotic, beautiful, grimy madhouse of the dead for Negan, Maggie, and fans of the show eager to discover an unseen and insane world of the TWD Universe,” said Gimple. Gimple will oversee the series in his role as chief content officer of “The Walking Dead” universe. Cohan and Morgan will also serve as executive producers in addition to starring. Jorné has worked as a writer and co-executive producer on “The Walking Dead” for multiple seasons. It also lets us explore a corner of this universe located on the island of Manhattan, with an iconic skyline that takes on a very different meaning when viewed through the lens of a zombie apocalypse.”Įli Jorné is the writer, executive producer, and showrunner on “Isle of the Dead” under his AMC overall deal. “It not only adds another compelling series to this collection, it extends our storytelling around two unforgettable characters fans have grown to love, hate or hate and then love in Maggie and Negan, brilliantly inhabited by Lauren and Jeffrey. “This is a very big day for the expanding universe we are building around ‘The Walking Dead,’” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. The series is expected to debut in AMC and AMC Plus in 2023. 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. “ The Walking Dead” continues to live on at AMC, with the network greenlighting a spinoff centered on Maggie and Negan.īoth Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan will return for the spinoff, which is currently titled “Isle of the Dead.” The six-episode series will see the two characters traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series, and The Earthborn Trilogy, which is also on audiobook. Did you quit during those moments, or were there any others? Or did you stick with it the whole time, like me?įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. I don’t think it’s a huge coincidence that Angela Kang took over the show right after this happened and was able to right the ship with better decisions that have not involved shocking deaths for the sake of being shocking.Īnyway. Fans may have been “shocked” he was dead, but they were mostly angry at the writers, not the circumstances that killed him (which were stupid). ![]() The actor, Chandler Riggs, had no desire to leave the series, and had just bought a house in the area. The second most common moment I heard was Carl’s death, which took place almost two seasons later and is the most “for no reason at all” death the show has ever had, killing off literally the main character of the comics in a wild departure from the source material this time. But I understand why this was the moment most people broke away. And who knows if that would have all happened if Yeun had stuck around The Walking Dead for many more years. I also highly recommend Burning, if you haven’t see him in that yet. The rest, of course, is history for Yeun, who has gone on to star in a number of hugely praised films, including this year’s Minari, which should land Oscar nominations down the road either for the film, his performance, or both. It felt like a whole lot of progress, and then he was just…executed to please the comics. It did not seem like Steven Yeun was thrilled about being killed off the show at the time, as he was a great example of an Asian leading man in a major TV production, and paired with the show’s most attractive white actress as his wife. It was brutal in a way that was just bad and wrong, not remotely entertaining. They wanted to make Glenn’s death look exactly like the comics, with his eye popping out of his socket and all, and yet it was just too much for some, and it’s hard to blame them. The Walking Dead does a lot of gross stuff to be sure, but usually with the walkers themselves, and something here just crossed a line for many people. The second reason was just how…gross it was. ![]()
