This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 24%. (I'm a bot)
Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie Greene on The Walking Dead, revealed at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Tuesday night that she will indeed be returning to the AMC drama.
While stars Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus had previously signed on for season 9 - which begins filming next week - Cohan had been a holdout as she negotiated for a better deal.
"I'm going back," Cohan told EW. "There's a lot more Maggie story to tell." As for what viewers can expect? "You know we're not allowed to tell you anything, but it's good," she teased.
The status of Whiskey Cavalier - in which Cohan plays Francesca "Frankie" Trowbridge, a CIA operative who must work with FBI agent Will Chase - and whether it will receive a series order from ABC is still unclear, but since The Walking Dead starts filming next week, Cohan would most likely have at least two months free before having to begin working on the new show, and perhaps much longer than that if, for example, the ABC program becomes a midseason entry and starts filming later.
Of course, if Whiskey Cavalier is not picked up all, then Cohan would be free to film the entire season of The Walking Dead, since the zombie drama's shooting schedule usually ends in early December.
Whether Cohan's return to the show is merely short-term or long-term, at least the writers will now not have to worry about leaving the dangling thread from the season 8 finale in which Maggie expressed anger over Rick's refusal to kill Negan and vowed to show him and Michonne how wrong their decision was.
