Gimple has expressed his hopes to bring back franchise stalwarts like Rick, Michonne, Daryl Dixon, Negan Smith and Maggie Rhee in an epic series crossover.
“There are so many things with this universe that I plan and put together, but I also know that God laughs, and you have to pivot to something else,” Gimple revealed his crossover hopes to Variety at the spin-off’s premiere in Los Angeles. “I absolutely have been working towards that and hoping towards that, but we’ll see what happens. It might be a version of it that no one expects.” Indeed, if in the long term the creator can bring back all the characters in a crossover from across the franchise, bringing in the cast of Daryl Dixon and Dead City, it’ll be a dream come true for loyal fans across the globe.
