Seth Hoffman is set to answer the ‘What if?’ question in the alternate reality episode
The upcoming season features an alternate reality episode, which has kept viewers in wonderment. The writer-turned-showrunner, Seth Hoffman, took over the series from the third season and reassured fans that they are in safe hands. Highlighting that he is a fan first and a showrunner later, Hoffman said, “I hope I can look at it from a fan’s perspective, and I thought, ‘One thing that fans would want to see in this spin-off is characters that maybe we haven’t seen for a long time,’” according to Radio Times, during the 65th annual Festival de Television de Monte-Carlo.Explaining how he processed the series like a fan before writing the fourth season, the artist added, “If you were to do an alternate reality episode where the apocalypse never happened, you could invite back some characters that haven’t been part of the franchise in a long time,” hinting at possible comebacks.While being under pressure to maintain the secrecy surrounding the characters, Hoffman stated that the true fans might have an idea. However, he cannot confirm or deny any rumours. Speaking of the alternate reality episode, he said, “Despite the terrible trauma, the awful things they’ve done and the awful things that have been done to them, you get to ask the question: Are these people better off having gone through the zombie apocalypse than they would have been if they hadn’t gone through it?”Meanwhile, the lead star, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, has promised that the upcoming season is the best one yet, affirming a positive future for the characters.
