The spinoff was originally announced in September 2020 with McBride and Reedus headlining, but AMC confirmed on April 27 that McBride was exiting the project and that the spinoff would now focus solely on Reedus’ character. McBride exited the spinoff because relocating to Europe to shoot the series proved “logistically untenable” for her, AMC said in a statement.“Twelve years is a grueling schedule,” Reedus said, referencing how McBride has been playing her “The Walking Dead” character since the show’s beginning in 2010.
