The latest actor to have the question mark thrown around the status of their character is Lennie James whose character Morgan is still alive and kicking on the AMC series.
The Walking Dead returns in the US on February 12 and will air the following evening in the UK, 9 pm on FOX.
James will head up original series Gone for Sky Atlantic alongside Suranne Jones and Stephen Graham.
Such is the norm with The Walking Dead that when actors get cast in new projects while still being on the show, fans begin to worry this could signal their character’s oncoming death.
