The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang promises that the show's upcoming series finale will focus on a select number of important characters.
Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Walking Dead season 11, episode 23.The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang has teased the show's series finale will focus on a selection of important characters during its 60-minute runtime. The end of The Walking Dead promises to show viewers major characters like Daryl, Carol, and Maggie fending off a massive herd of Walkers in the Commonwealth, working alongside all other major characters in the series.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kang revealed that The Walking Dead's series finale would mostly focus on select important characters. She says that because of the limitations of having an hour-long runtime and so many characters, not every character will get an equal amount of screen time in the final episode. Check out Kang's full statement below:
What I'll say is that this is the approach that we took, and it's possible that not everybody's going to be satisfied with this, but when you do have that many characters, you cannot give every person equal weight in something that is basically, I don't know, 60 minutes of screen time. You're just gonna have a nothing burger story.
Characters with big roles in the story are also bound to get more screen time in the finale, such as Mercer, who was arrested for his attempted coup against Pamela. As the Walker invasion worsens, Mercer will no doubt find a way to spring into action despite being taken into custody. In a similar boat are Eugene, Gabriel, and Rosita, the trio appearing trapped in an apartment complex during series finale previews.
Earlier comments from Kang ahead of the finale also indicate there will be some setup for The Walking Dead spinoffs set to air next year, indicating that - aside from Daryl - Maggie and Negan will also be focal characters in the series finale. While it's still unclear how the duo will find themselves in New York City during The Walking Dead: Dead City in April, the final episode has a chance to give audiences insight into how they wind up in the Big Apple.
