![]() ![]() So that’s one of the aspects of the story that we’ll be exploring going forward.There is currently no release date for Part 3, also known as The Walking Dead Season 12 but we will inform you as soon as the news become official. Tara, we see, has been handling a lot of the day-to-day anyway. As Kang told E.W., “She sort of has been handling a lot of things, because Jesus in a lot of ways didn’t really take to being the leader of Hilltop. ![]() And if you’re wondering who’s going to take over for Jesus as leader of Hilltop, it’s looking like that will be up to Tara. There’s also the newly freed Negan to contend with. We don’t start by saying, ‘They’re a couple.’ Regardless of if they are gay or straight, they’re just trying to feel out the other group.” That, Kang said, will be another story to explore when Season 9 returns next year.Īs for what else is on the horizon in the back half of this season? Kang told Deadline that we’ll learn a lot more about the Whisperers and their leader, Alpha, as well as what’s going on with those mysterious “X” scars we keep seeing. ![]() We opted to show it in the most real way possible. They are survivors who are going through life. “You see them leaning on each other and we’ll see them kiss this season. (The two have appeared in multiple episodes, but so far no indication has been given that they are together.) “ because of their personalities and their sense of safety,” Kang said. relationships going forward, Kang said that Magna and Yumiko, who were just introduced this season, are actually a couple. When asked how the show plans to portray L.G.B.T.Q. It’s part of the story, that everyone’s impacted by these characters.” We have to be able to tell our stories as well. We can’t carry the entire load of representation for all of entertainment. It’s important to us, both in front of and behind the camera. “It’s hard, because we love representation. ![]() “We still have multiple series regulars who are L.G.B.T.Q. We just tend to get a lot of attention for it.” When The Hollywood Reporter asked whether the writers’ room was wary of enacting a hated trope with Jesus’s death-the idea that gay characters often meet untimely demises that thwart their romantic lives, otherwise known as “Bury Your Gays”-Angela Kang offered this: “For a show that deals with issues of life and death and people who have heroic and surprising ends, it’s hard because almost anyone you kill on our show or write out is going to be part of some underrepresented group on TV. He did, however, admit that he thinks the way Jesus died soon after the show introduced the possibility of him and Aaron becoming an item was “a bit unfair to the fans.” (For what it’s worth, though, he’s pretty sure those characters hooked up at least one during the show’s six-year time jump.) “You know, generally you’re happy on the show if you get one cool thing to do, and I had a really cool beginning and a really cool end, and that’s enough for me,” Payne added.

In a surprisingly candid interview with Entertainment Weekly, Payne said as much: “I had kind of reached a point in the show where I was a little bit in stasis, and like, ‘Well, you know, I have to do more with my character, otherwise I’m cool with being killed off.’” For what it’s worth, however, Tom Payne sounds like he felt it was time for his character to ride off into the blood-stained sunset. ![]()
