The forged of The Strolling Lifeless expressed their denial concerning the finish of the unique sequence on the present’s New York Comedian Con Metaverse panel, however it’s not over for all of them.

The pair is a fan favourite (whether or not you ‘ship them or not) and what Reedus stated needs to be most fun for the present to discover is what occurs when Daryl and Carol, who’ve turn into unlikely neighborhood leaders in numerous methods, are instantly outsiders once more. Their relationship is ready. It’s everybody else within the apocalypse that may turn into a battle.
“All these characters have gotten to the purpose the place they’ll take care of, and generally not take care of, one another in our small group,” stated Reedus. “While you take these two characters and put them on the highway and so they go see who’s disregarded on the earth, how do you … it’s like popping out of jail, form of.
