Not all “The Walking Dead” fans should be happy about that: A hated character is said to appear in a spin-off - although she has already died in the main series.
The
"The Walking Dead" universe
is to be expanded in the coming years.
In addition to the main series, the spin-offs
“Fear the Walking Dead”
and “The Walking Dead: World Beyond” *
are already running
- and it won't stop there.
The creators recently announced that the characters
Daryl (Norman Reedus)
and
Carol (Melissa McBride)
will get their own spin-off
after the end of
"The Walking Dead"
.
The anthology series
"Tales Of The Walking Dead"
is also planned
, which will probably tell the background story of a figure known from the other series or of new characters in each individual episode.
The idea gives the fans hope: Popular characters like
Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun)
could be in the spotlight again.
It is not yet known whether the big fan favorites will return.
A comeback of an unpopular character is already certain:
Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies)
is rumored to have its own episode in
"Tales Of The Walking Dead"
.
"The Walking Dead" figure Lori Grimes apparently planned for "Tales Of The Walking Dead"
Lori Grimes
is not necessarily a fan favorite after
cheating on
her husband Rick Grimes with his best friend
Shane (Jon Bernthal)
in
"The Walking Dead"
.
Nevertheless, the makers seem
to want to give
her
a stage
in
“Tales Of The Walking Dead”
.
Incidentally, this news shouldn't come as a surprise to some “The Walking Dead” fans: rumors of a Lori comeback were already circulating several months ago.
The inside information on Callie's return comes from the magazine We Got This Covered, which in the past had often correctly planned developments in the series world.
However, the insider did not know exactly how the planned Lori episode should look like.
We Got This Covered assumes that the spin-off
will
shed light on
Lori's story
shortly after the outbreak of the apocalypse
.
That would mean that
Jon Bernthal
could slip
into the role of
Shane
again, since he saved Lori from the Walkers.
Rick and Lori's son Carl was also with his mother at the time, but actor
Chandler Riggs
may now be too old to play the character a second time.
Possibly Carl will be re-cast - if
“Tales Of The Walking Dead”
actually picks up on the said storyline.

Former "The Walking Dead" actress is open to "Tales Of The Walking Dead" performance
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly magazine, former
Sasha actress Sonequa Martin-Green
revealed
that she would also be interested in
telling
the background story of her character in
"Tales of the Walking Dead"
.
Although she had to leave
“The Walking Dead”
after five seasons, she has a positive memory of her time on set: “I love Sasha.
I love 'The Walking Dead' ”.
Martin-Green is currently playing the lead role
Michael Burnham
in the SciFi series "Star Trek: Discovery".
It remains to be seen whether there will be enough time for the zombie spin-off or whether the makers will primarily engage them.
