Zack Sharf Norman Reedus broke his silence on “The Tonight Show” regarding Melissa McBride’s exit from “The Walking Dead” spinoff series that was set to focus on their fan favorite characters Daryl and Carol.
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. “She wanted to take some time off and she’s doing that.
She deserves it.” “I imagine those characters are going to meet back up at some point, and they might even meet up with some other characters down the road,” Reedus added. “In the meantime, [AMC] was like, ‘Hey, you wanna go on a mission?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, let’s go on a mission.'”After McBride’s exit from the spinoff was confirmed, some “The Walking Dead” fans speculated on social media that Reedus was behind the decision to shoot the spinoff series in Europe, thus indirectly causing McBride to drop out of the show.
