The Walking Dead: Dead City' writer reveals most interesting arc of the series

The Walking Dead: Dead City’s writer, Scott M. Gimple, has just now opened up about an amazing surprise in season 2.

While appearing on CBR.com for an interview, he candidly discussed his script writing experience of season 2.

The series centres around the journey of Maggie (Loren Cohan) and Nagan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) into post-apocalyptic Manhattan, where they faced challenges while rescuing Maggie’s kidnapped son from the zombie-infested environment.

Referring to Cohan's on-screen kidnapped kid, Gimple said, “My vantage point, as sort of the biggest fan in some ways, in the last issue of The Walking Dead comics, there's a big time jump. We see Hershel as a young man and he's an anti-hero. He's almost a villain. I have to think there's [Robert] Kirkmanian influence there.”

Meanwhile, the 54-year-old writer recalled fans’ concerns over whether bears can be infected with the zombie virus.

“We did include a little bit of the bear in one of the trailers,” he told the outlet. “We all went sort of back and forth about it because it was such an amazing surprise. But it was also so good, and we were like, ‘It might be good to tip people off as to this happening.’ It was a ‘tune in and find out’ sort of thing. It would say right up until the trailer, mum's the word.”

“I will say, sometime before the trailer dropped, someone on Reddit asked where all the bears are on The Walking Dead, having no clue there would be one on Dead City. It was a hilarious coincidence.”  Scott M. Gimple concluded.
