Walking Dead season 11: Has Maggie changed amid time-jump? Star drops cryptic clue

Maggie is going to have a lot of backstory by the sounds of it which will make her a different character to the one some may remember.

Also, there have been questions about her feelings towards Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and whether she still holds the grudge against him for killing her husband Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun) in cold blood.

Reflecting on her return, Cohan said: “The weird thing is that it never really leaves you.

“I don’t feel like I left. I do stay in touch with everybody on a regular basis.

“My friends on the show know that this has been in the works. This reentry is going to feel like going home.”

She added: “Maybe that will be my soft reentry into the universe – or the Georgia weather – but in general, the character never leaves you. It’s a necessity for me to keep her alive.”

The Walking Dead season 10 will return to AMC and FOX UK later this year
