"We are in the writers' room right now and trying to sketch out a season two plan," he explained to Entertainment Weekly when quizzed about recent rumors that fan favourites such as Tyrese and Michonne would appear in the second season. "Anyone who knows how that process works knows that stuff changes day by day. We are in the massive brainstorming phase. We are talking it all out."
However, he did reveal that the writing team are keen on bringing episode one characters Morgan Jones (Lennie James) and his son Duane (Adrian Kali Turner)
"both back as soon as possible. We're just dying to get [Lennie] back in the show. He's such a great actor."
Finally, the creator of the comic book series and executive producer on the hit AMC series confirmed that the villainous Governor will most definitely NOT feature in the next season but it's almost definite we'll get to see him in the third:
"There's zero percent chance in the second season. In the third season it's 92 percent."
