Some big news dropped today for The Walking Dead that is sure to make fans happy and excited. Showrunner Angela Kang announced today at NYCC that the series has been renewed for an eleventh season. While that isn’t really a surprise to hear, the big unexpected news was that Lauren Cohen will be coming back to play back as Maggie Rhee again!
During the panel Cohen was brought out on stage and said, "It feels just like home. It feels so emotional. It feels really, really emotional. I feel like this is a very special Comic-Con and a very special family and I'm really happy to be here."
She will be back as a series regular. I always liked Maggie and was bummed out when it was announced she was leaving the series. I’m glad that it didn’t last that long!
Sarah Barnett, President of AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios, said in a statement:
“The Walking Dead burst out of the gate ten years ago as a genre show that had all the character depth of a top-tier prestige drama, And now ten years later — led by the brilliant Angela Kang and fueled by one of the most consistently talented casts in television — this phenomenon is flourishing creatively, with critics and audiences embracing its reset. We’re delighted to welcome back Lauren Cohan, she has meant so much to this show and its passionate, global fanbase, who are in for a fantastic ride over the coming months.”
The tenth season, is set to premiere on October 6th and it will continue the story that started playing out in season 9 with the introduction of the Whisperers and it will lead to the Whisperer War.
Are you happy to hear that Maggie will be coming back to the series!?
