The Walking Dead

It's official: Michael Cudlitz will be making his return to 'The Walking Dead'. Instead of bringing Abraham back from his grave however, the actor will be working behind the camera, directing the seventh episode of the show's upcoming ninth season. This isn't something a former actor has ever done before, which means Cudlitz is making series history, although 'Fear The Walking Dead' alum Colman Domingo will follow in his footsteps, directing the 12th episode of that show's fourth season.

Cudlitz made an incredible impression during his time on 'The Walking Dead', with the actor really making the role of Sergeant Abraham Ford his own. When we first met him, he had a mission to bring Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt) to Washington D.C., as he claimed he had access to a cure for the zombie outbreak. Unfortunately, Eugene was revealed to be a liar, making those claims simply so he could be protected at all times.

'The Walking Dead' could be set to look a little deeper into the history of one of its most compelling villains, Negan. Played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the AMC series, the character has been responsible for the murder of many characters, including Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), making him the number one target to take down for survivors such as Maggie (Lauren Cohan).

In season 8, we saw Negan finally brought to his knees by Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), but when the leader decided to spare his life and instead keep him as a prisoner, it angered Maggie, who simply wants to see him dead. What Rick's decision did allow however, is a chance for audiences to find out even more about Negan.
