[It] might be nice, and we might be seeing that, but [with] these characters, even in the original series, there have been instances where they have wondered about other places in the world, just as the audience is wondering about other places in the world. Getting those, not really as answers like, “Ah, that’s how it went,” [but] getting them stories has been incredibly gratifying. And it’s this series, Darryl Dixon, that has brought it to life and has shown how vibrant that storytelling can be. So the answer is yes.”
