TheWalkingDead's Angela Kang talks how the final episode plans changed due to spinoffs. “We knew these are characters that live, and we're going to try to close a chapter of their story here, but we have to leave a door open for the next story to come.'
Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Walking Dead series finale.The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang revealed how upcoming spinoffs for the zombie franchise changed the direction of the show's final season. While The Walking Dead's flagship series came to an end earlier this month, the franchise is set to continue with three new spinoff shows following popular characters after the events of the original show.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In an interview with AMC, Kang revealed that plans for The Walking Dead season 11 changed over time as new spinoff shows were announced. She explained how plans for the final season were influenced by knowing where characters would end up in their respective spinoffs, but that she wanted to make sure the series still had bookends while also leading into the franchise's future.
"We knew that the Daryl spinoff was going to happen essentially when we embarked on the season. The plans changed multiple times over the course of the season, for the spin-off as well as the series, just because it was a really odd time in our global history. The Maggie and Negan spin-off came about somewhere during the course of making the season. The Rick and Michonne spin-off was a late addition.
Following the Big Apple spinoff will be Daryl Dixon, which sees Daryl taken to France for unknown reasons, now trying to survive and find his way back home. Recent cast announcements indicate Daryl will be coming across a progressive religious group, getting close to one of their members, Isabelle, who he will team up with during his Paris adventures.
The final spinoff to be announced was one focusing on Rick Grimes and Michonne, who had left the core series back in season 9 and season 10, respectively. The "epic love story" was teased at the very end of The Walking Dead's series finale, showing an armor-clad Michonne still searching for Rick, who is seen in a flashback antagonizing his captors, the CRM.
