In an interview with Insider, Ross Marquand was asked about his first reaction to learning that “The Walking Dead” was ending. Marquand said he was in Austria at the time, in a town called Hallstatt. “It was the most insane juxtaposition because it was one of the most picture[-]perfect sites I’ve ever seen in my life,” he recalled. At the time, he had been under the impression that the show would be continuing since he had been involved in discussions of where it would go in Season 12 — and even further than that.
But then he got a call from showrunners Angela Kang and Scott Gimple, who delivered the news that Season 11 would be the last one for “The Walking Dead.” Marquand went through a range of emotions, including shock and sorrow. As he learned more about the final season, however, his sadness ultimately turned into excitement. He was particularly glad to hear about the additional eight episodes the final season would have, although he later feared for his life while filming the Season 11, Part 2 premiere.
