The Walking Dead

Since its launch in 2010, fans of The Walking Dead have applauded the show for delivering a wealth of well-developed female characters to the small screen. From Michonne [Danai Gurira] and Maggie Greene [Lauren Cohan] to Carol Peletier [Melissa McBride], Sasha Williams [Sonequa Martin-Green] and Rosita Espinosa [Christian Serratos], the Golden Globe-nominated series has continued to present three-dimensional women in its post-apocalyptic storylines.

The Walking Dead has had no shortage of core cast members depart over the years, from Jon Bernthal, Scott Wilson, Steven Yeun and Lauren Cohan to, most recently, of course, star Andrew Lincoln, who left last year. Danai Gurira, who joined the hit post-apocalyptic horror show in its third season, will be the latest to depart, when she cycles off the series in its upcoming 10th season, debuting October 6.

Its very title provides a hint at its mortality and high rate of turnover, but there’s an undeniable shadow hanging over the upcoming 10th season of The Walking Dead, which returns on October 6. It will the first for the post-apocalyptic horror TV show without erstwhile series lead Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln).

Loss has always been a big part of The Walking Dead, obviously — it’s a post-apocalyptic show about survivors grappling with a world overrun by zombies, after all. But there was a decidedly melancholic undercurrent in the air when Danai Gurira and Norman Reedus stopped by the HFPA’s Comic-Con lounge.

With 17 million mesmerized Americans watching Sunday’s season 7 debut, The Walking Dead continue to post scary numbers – close to its all time high rating and worthy of the biggest show on television. Credit the mammoth cliffhanger with which the show’s writers tormented fans in the months since the end of Season 6: who would Neegan dispatch? The latest addition to the show’s cast of characters, played by Jeffery Dean Morgan, is, as Andrew Lincoln told us, a “charismatic, brilliant, brutal psychotic” and that may be why it’s so hard to avert your eyes from his consummate cruelty.
