Strolling Lifeless Working On Bringing Again Lauren Cohan | ScreenRant
The Strolling Lifeless is working to carry again Maggie actress Lauren Cohan, says the sequence’ showrunner, Angela Kang. Cohan’s character Maggie Greene first joined the AMC zombie sequence in season 2, and stayed with the present by way of the start of season 9 earlier than being written out as Cohan left to headline the ABC spy sequence Whiskey Cavalier.

Now, it seems just like the door is vast open for Cohan to return to The Strolling Lifeless if she so wishes. In an interview with EW, Kang revealed that efforts are being made to rearrange a reunion between the franchise and the actress. “I’m undecided if I can say a lot about it proper now really,” Kang mentioned. “I’ll simply say that we’re engaged on it.”
Kang supplied no particulars past her transient feedback, so it is not identified precisely what the plans could be for Maggie’s return, if a return is certainly within the offing. It is doable Maggie might come again to the principle present for season 10, although such a transfer is perhaps sophisticated as season 10 is already in manufacturing and presumably has already been deliberate out (although plans can all the time be altered, and if want be, time jumps can all the time be executed to be able to recover from story obstacles). A seemingly extra doubtless risk is that Maggie would come again in one of many Rick-centered Strolling Lifeless motion pictures being deliberate. The Strolling Lifeless can be branching out into a 3rd sequence, casting for which has already begun, so there’s additionally an opportunity Maggie might by some means be fitted into that story.
As of now, within the timeline of The Strolling Lifeless, the character remains to be off serving to Georgie after Maggie’s relatively abrupt (and albeit badly dealt with) exit from the present. A return to the principle present for Maggie could be welcome for followers who’re nonetheless getting over the departure of Rick, and are about to obtain one other main blow as Danai Gurira’s Michonne can be set to exit. But it surely may additionally be intriguing to see Maggie by some means find yourself reuniting with Rick in one of many motion pictures, maybe with Michonne additionally alongside for the experience. If AMC needs to get their new showcase to a great begin, they may elect to work Maggie into it, and have her act as mentor to the sequence’ reported younger feminine protagonists. With so many Strolling Lifeless properties both up and operating or within the planning levels, the chances are virtually countless.
