10 Characters We Hope To See In Tales Of The Walking Dead

Ever since AMC announced that Tales Of The Walking Dead would feature The Walking Dead's original characters, fans have thought about who will return.

In October 2021, AMC announced that The Walking Dead would be receiving yet another spin-off series. Tales Of The Walking Dead has now begun filming. It was revealed that Tales would be a six-part anthology series featuring classic characters. Since then, fans have been speculating about which walker warriors could make a triumphant return.

Details of which stories will be told remain scarce, yet this only fuels the imaginations of The Walking Dead's faithful viewers. Many characters that are missed by the audience, or those that have gaps in their stories, are prime candidates to feature in Tales Of The Walking Dead.

10 Jon Bernthal Could Make A Sensational Return As Shane

Jon Bernthal has risen to great heights since leaving The Walking Dead. Strong showings in Hollywood movies and an awe-inspiring performance as Frank Castle in Netflix's Daredevil and The Punisher series have put the actor in high demand. He is now a hugely popular star.

His character of Shane was one of The Walking Dead's most intriguing survivors. Rick's best friend was a deeply flawed and a hugely entertaining piece of the post-apocalyptic puzzle. A return for the hot-headed rogue would be a surefire way to kick Tales Of The Walking Dead off with a bang. Shane would get even the most cynical of doubters on board.

9 Madison Is Badly Missed By Fear The Walking Dead's Fans

Fans have long crossed their fingers for confirmation of the return of one of Fear The Walking Dead's most popular survivors. While Madison looks set to make a sensational comeback in The Walking Dead spinoff, it remains to be seen whether Tales will really dive into her whereabouts during the time she's been missing.

The alternative is to give Kim Dickens' character the spotlight in an episode of Tales Of The Walking Dead. This episode could feature how she survived and what she has been up to while Morgan ran the show. These are the questions that walker fans desperately want answers to.

8 Many Of Morales' Years Are Unaccounted For

Morales' story is one with far more questions than answers. After leaving Rick, Shane, and the rest of the Atlanta Camp behind, Juan Gabriel Pareja's survivor set off with his family. Allegedly, Morales only encountered tragedy on his travels.

The once friendly figure eventually joined Negan's Saviors. Morales met an untimely end as a result of a reunion with Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon. By the time of his death, he was a vastly different man. Fans of The Walking Dead would love to see what happened to him and his family while he was out of sight.

7 A Look At How Ezekiel Became King Would Certainly Be A Crowd Pleaser

The King and his Kingdom first appeared in The Walking Dead in season 7. By this point, the dead had been roaming around for years. Fans could expect there to be plenty of stories surrounding how Ezekiel rose to his throne during the time after the outbreak.

Khary Payton is a fan favorite and more of his brand of theatrics would perfectly complement Tales Of The Walking Dead. Fans would also go wild for the chance to see more of his beloved pet tiger, Shiva, tearing up zombies in the upcoming spin-off.

6 No One Would Say No To More Of Steven Yeun As Glenn

There's no death in the history of The Walking Dead as upsetting or as gruesome as that of Glenn Rhee. A loveable hero throughout his time on The Walking Dead, Steven Yeun's good-natured walker-killer was one of the most popular characters.

Steven Yeun is now flying high as a movie star. There may not be many stories to tell of Glenn's early days during the outbreak. Although, fans are hoping there's enough for an episode focused on the pizza delivery boy's desperate survival as the dead began to take over the world.

5 Magna's Group Must Have Many Stories To Tell

When it comes to the most wanted backstories on The Walking Dead, Magna and her group are always in the discussion. Nadia Hilker's character came late to the party along with Connie, Yumiko, Luke, and Kelly. How they managed to survive as long as they did remains clouded in mystery.

There are over ten years between the outbreak and Magna meeting Judith Grimes. That means over a decade's worth of undead adventures for this group that has yet to be seen by fans of The Walking Dead.

4 Tales Of The Walking Dead Will Need A Big Bad And There's None Badder Than The Governor

How Woodbury came to be would make for fascinating television. David Morrissey's terrifying tyrant remains one of The Walking Dead's greatest villains. Fans would love to get a glimpse of the events that led to Philip Blake becoming The Governor.

The beauty of Tales Of The Walking Dead is that much like the virus inhabiting its world, it can easily bring back characters from the grave. Seeing more of The Governor is certainly high on the wish list for most fans in this regard.

3 A Look At Abraham's Early Outbreak Days Would Provide An Awesome Return For A Fan Favorite

Michael Cudlitz's combat veteran was one of The Walking Dead's finest characters. The former soldier was always ready to fight for his people. He always had some quick-fire trash-talk tucked away for any occasion. Abraham's unfortunate meeting with Negan and Lucille left a hole in Rick's group - one that has yet to be filled.

Abraham's past has been touched upon in The Walking Dead. A deep dive into his days with his family, and then his early months spent protecting Eugene, would be a real treat for fans.

2 Princess Needs More Of A Platform To Show Her Skills

Juanita Sanchez is one of the newer additions to the world of The Walking Dead. As a fresh face in the post-apocalyptic world, there's plenty of backstory that Tales Of The Walking Dead could expand upon.

Princess is certainly a captivating character and her story is far from over. More peeks into her past would be welcomed by the majority of The Walking Dead faithful. Paola Lazaro would get even more screen time to show off her talents as an actress.

1 Michael Rooker As Merle Is The Perfect Star Name To Build Hype For The Spin-Off

Most fans of The Walking Dead want the chance to see more of Michael Rooker's one-armed, walker-killing warrior in Tales Of The Walking Dead. Merle was immensely captivating as both a detestable villain and a tragic hero.

Michael Rooker is a Hollywood heavyweight. Not only would his inclusion be wildly popular with fans, but it would also add some serious star power to The Walking Dead spinoff. With Merle as part of the gang, this upcoming anthology series has every chance of succeeding.
