New Fan Favorite Character To Be Introduced In THE WALKING DEAD

People have been getting killed off left and right during this season of The Walking Dead. Now, according to Robert Kirkman, we can expect a new character that is a fan favorite from the comic series to make their debut in live action.

Robert Kirkman sat down with the people over at Entertainment Weekly to talk about AMC's hit Zombie show The Walking Dead. During the chat Krikman revealed that major things are in store for the upcoming Fall finale. One of the major things is that you can expect is a new character to be revealed. Not only is it a new character, but it's a fan favorite from the comic series. "There’s a new character added. A big deal fan favorite from the comic book is introduced into the show in this episode, so be on the lookout for that," explained Kirkman. EW speculates that the character in question is none other than Tyreese. While this has not been confirmed there is some substantial evidence to back this up.

Tyreese was professional football player before the Zombie outbreak. In the comics he comes to the survivors after they have just lost Shane, and are in desperate need of some physical help. With the Kirkamn teasing that the character is a fan favorite it would be no shock that it could turn out to be Tyreese. Fans have been asking for some time when we might see him. Actor Chad Coleman (The Wire) has been spotted on the Atlanta set here recently, with no mention of what his role might be. Speculation has it that Coleman has been tasked with bringing Tyreese to life.

Keep in mind Tyreese is NOT confirmed. It just seems like right now it is a high likely hood that the character will be him. You can catch The Walking Dead which stars Andrew Lincon, Chandler Riggs, Norman Reedus, Lori Holden, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, and David Morrissey, Sundays at 9P.M. on AMC.

Tyreese?



Well, let's hope so. I've been wondering when they were going to include him in The Walking Dead. :)

I think Lori and Carol are both alive. No body, not dead. Lori's bones weren;t even on the floor and zombies can't eat bones they have teeth falling out already nothing to crunch them!

Tyreese is the man in the comics. Can't wait for him to be in the show. Chad Coleman looks just like him!

I think the black guy from Woodbury will take the role of Tyreese.. which will really piss me off.

@Flash17

Lori is dead, that walker dragged her around the corner where the blood trail leads, ate her, then walked a bit and fell there. That's what they said in Talking Dead..

Couldn't "Oscar" be Tyreese?

i guess i was wrong to assume it, but wasnt T-Dog supposed to be the show's version of Tyreese?

I wonder how they'll introduce him, since he met the group a little before they found the prison.

Oh wow :D I suggested Chad Coleman as Tyreese over a year ago, so I hope this is true.

Don't get me wrong, I love Tyreese, but what a screwy timeline of events.

I feel like it would be cool if they added some kind of zombie apocalypse gunslinger character. Some drifter badass. IDK if that was ever in the comics but i think that would be cool. Maybe have Anson Mount from Hell on Wheels play him and have this weird crossover lol

Oscar will die before tyrese becomes a member of the group. There can be only one black at a time.

I loved Chad Coleman's character in The Wire, but I didn't really care for his performance. I'd really need to see some of his other work before I'll be impressed with his acting chops. Physically though, he's a fantastic choice.
