The Walking Dead Bids Farewell to Lauren Cohans Maggie …

Two major characters from The Walking Dead have reached the end of the road for now, anyway. The AMC post-apocalyptic drama bid farewell to Andrew Lincolns Rick Grimes on the Sunday, November 4, episode. It was also the last of the season forLauren Cohans Maggie Rhee.

Lincolns exit was more clear-cut as Rick was mortally wounded and flown away in a helicopter. Cohans departure, however, may come as more of a shock to viewers.

Thats the last of her for this season, showrunner Angela Kang confirmed during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Sunday. AMC programming president David Madden echoed, I would hope its not the last youll see of her for the show, but she is not in any immediately forthcoming episodes.

Earlier this year, Cohan, 36, joined the cast of ABCs drama Whiskey Cavalier. She was expected to continue her role on The Walking Dead in a limited capacity in the ninth and current season, but it appears that she is now finished with her character at least for the time being.

Weve been talking to Lauren and hopefully well get to tell more story for her, Kang told The Hollywood Reporter. We definitely have some things up our sleeve that wed love to do. A lot of that is just a scheduling conversation, so hopefully that will all work out, because I think mutually we would like to continue with Maggies story, for sure.

Madden added, Angela and Lauren talk. They are actually friendly. And we would like to see her come back. A lot of that is going have to do with Whiskey Cavalier and what her availability then becomes, which we obviously dont control. But creatively, we would love to see her return to some degree. We did not, as you have seen, kill her off in [the episode]. We established that she is out there somewhere. And thats something we would like to pay off by having her return, if her schedule permits.

For his part, Lincoln, 45, will reprise his role in a series of movies centered around The Walking Deads universe. The first will explore where his character ends up after the conclusion of Sundays episode.

The Walking Dead airs on AMC on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
