The Walking Dead star Jeffrey Dean Morgan says he's "still not sure" why AMC decided to announce the upcoming Negan and Maggie spin-off before the main series finale.
Earlier this month, many fans were baffled by the appearance of the first poster for Isle of the Dead, a New York-based series centered on the duo of Maggie and Negan. Thus, the creators of the TV show confirmed that both characters would survive.
Morgan, who made his debut in the sixth season of the series in 2016, visited the Rich Eisen show and apologized to the audience for the "spoiler", then admitted that this announcement was a huge surprise for him too.
Guess we don't have to die now. Beware, spoiler. Friends, I'm sorry! I still don't understand why we already announced this [spin-off]. It was kind of a shock for me. I think seeing zombies in Manhattan is super fantastic.
