THE WALKING DEAD: Don't Expect To See Much Of Lauren Cohan In Season 9
Whiskey Cavalier was recently picked up to series and seeing as Lauren Cohan has a lead role in that, it doesn't sound as if we'll see all that much of Maggie when The Walking Dead returns this Fall...
Earlier this year, it looked like Lauran Cohan wouldn't be returning for the upcoming ninth season of The Walking Dead because AMC was refusing to pay the actress the same as her male co-stars. While negotiations were ongoing, she signed up to star in ABC pilot Whiskey Cavalier and that's since been picked up to series. As a result, she's now going to have to split her time between the two shows.
Now, in what could be a sign that she's going to be wrapping up her commitments to the zombie drama, it's been confirmed that Maggie is only set to appear in six of season nine's first eight episodes. It is, of course, common for those in The Walking Dead to skip an episode or two here and there but TV Line notes that it's currently unclear whether or not she'll appear in the second half of the season.
Her future in the AMC series likely hinges on whether or not Whiskey Cavalier takes off but don't be too surprised if Maggie is the next character we have to say goodbye to after the shocking death of Carl in season eight. That's no doubt going to alienate a lot more viewers but the show's days of breaking ratings records appear to be behind it regardless. What do you hope comes next for this character?
