The Walking Dead Invites Michael Cudlitz Back as Director

A very interesting scoop has surfaced about Michael Cudlitz returning to The Walking Dead series. Although Abraham is as dead as can be at this point in the story, that doesn't mean there isn't room for him on the other side of the camera, this time in the director's chair. According to ComicBook.com, the actor will be directing in season 9, although its unknown for how many episodes as TV shows tend to rotate different people in that role throughout a season.

At a Walker Stalker convention, Cudlitz recently shared his perspective on why his character and other characters from the series often gain popularity after they are killed off.

This is a first for the series and the perspective of Cudlitz is sure to be an interesting one. We look forward to seeing which episode (or episodes) he might be directing this season. Stay up-to-date on everything The Walking Dead here on Dead Entertainment.
