The Walking Dead flagship series has been my creative home for a decade and so it’s bittersweet to bring it to an end, but I could not be more excited to be working with Scott Gimple and AMC to develop a new series for Daryl and Carol.

Working with Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride has been a highlight of my career and I’m thrilled that we get to keep telling stories together.

Ed Carroll, CEO of AMC Networks, went on, calling the show ‘one of those rare creative works that has given life to an entire content universe that is still in the early stages of growing and entertaining both new and established fans’.
