The Walking Dead favourite Jeffrey Dean Morgan has once again shared his feelings on a potential Negan spin-off.
Back in November 2020, the actor responded to a fan's tweet about exploring his once-villainous character outside of the flagship drama, but now Morgan has gone one better by revealing where exactly he'd like the hypothetical new show to go.

"There've been things discussed with me and network people," he recently told TVLine. "We'll see. I mean, Negan could still find his way six feet under [before season 11 concludes], so that could be a problem unless it's a prequel.
"But there are still stories to be told with Negan. I kind of know how the season has worked itself so far, and we're cracking open windows here and there that would lend themselves to more Negan story.
"I do love Negan. There's an amazing opportunity to dive a lot deeper into this man who I think has become very interesting the last few years. I'm certainly not opposed to keeping him alive for a bit longer and finding out more about him."

However, there's a stipulation that the bosses would need to consider in order to nail down Morgan's involvement.
"I'll be very honest with you, if I was to do more, I would like to move forward with the story and not backward," the star noted. "We could do a short series on how the Saviors came to be, which would be kind of interesting, but I'm more looking forward.
"We've shown these different sides of Negan over the past few years. Now I'd like to see, after this ends, what happens to him next. I find that possibility to be a lot more interesting than going back in time."
Will his baseball-bat-swinging rogue even make it out of season 11 alive?
The Walking Dead season 11 is airing now on AMC in the US and STAR on Disney+ in the UK.
