The Walking Dead: Looks Like Tom Payne's Glad TWD Killed Jesus

To say that it's a busy time in The Walking Dead universe would be a kind, conservative estimate. Showrunner/EP Angela Kang, Norman Reedus, Lauren Cohan, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and the rest of the cast and crew are back at work filming the six "extra" episodes bridging the 10th and 11th seasons that are expected to drop in early 2021. From there, the main series heads into an extended, 24-episode 11th and final season. On the spinoff side, Fear the Walking Dead continues burning through its sixth season as viewers and critics alike applaud the show's efforts so far, and limited series The Walking Dead: World Beyond begins to connect the CRM dots. From there, the end of TWD will also bring viewers a Carol (Melissa McBride)-Daryl (Reedus) spinoff spearheaded by Kang as well as Tales of the Walking Dead, with Scott M. Gimple offering an anthology series to tell different types of tales in various ways involving both new and familiar faces.

With Gimple previously revealing that Tales will tell stories from the past involving characters who are no longer on the show, it was no surprise that Prodigal Son star Tom Payne would be at the top of the list. His run as Jesus was a popular one, with his death serving as the tragically formal start to "The Whisperer War"- and also serving to p*ss off a lot of fans. While viewers will have to wait and see if the future holds more backstory on Jesus, in a tweet on Saturday they learned how he feels about his character's demise overall. When tagged in a tweet by a person who said they were glad Jesus was killed off on TWD, Payne retweeted the initial tweet with the caption, "So was I!" alongside a hysterically laughing emoji. Now, we're reading it as he's glad Jesus was taken out of the game because it freed him up to lead a successful hour-long drama series on FOX. That said? Not exactly the best way to pitch a comeback:

Now here's a look back at a preview and mini-trailer for the next episode of Fear the Walking Dead, "Honey":

Fear the Walking Dead season 6, episode 5 "Honey": Dwight and Sherry want to take down Ginny, but Morgan stands in their way. Written by Ashley Cardiff.

Season six of Fear the Walking Dead explores what has become of the unlikely family once united by a mission to help those in need. After being torn apart by Virginia (Colby Minifie) and her Pioneers, the group is now dispersed across her far-reaching settlements. Morgan's (Lennie James) last message at the end of season five implored the group to "Live" and this season we'll see what that means to each of them. Some will find the stability and opportunity within Virginia's communities to be intriguing, some will sink into darkness, while others will fight back against what has been forced upon them. Life behind Virginia's walls will test each and every one of them in different ways, forcing them to define who they are in this new world.
