The Real Reason These Walking Dead Actors Left

Characters come and go every season on The Walking Dead, but sometimes, an actor's departure can be somewhat controversial. From career moves to behind-the-scenes drama, here are the real reasons why these Walking Dead actors left the show.

After joining The Walking Dead in season two, Maggie Greene evolved into one of the show's strongest and most important characters, leading the Hilltop and the Militia, all while fighting off countless walkers. But Maggie disappeared from The Walking Dead in season nine, off in search of new bands of survivors.

Actress Lauren Cohan tried to nail down a new contract with AMC and asked for the pay raise that was coming to her as a veteran cast member. Cohan said on Andy Cohen Live, "It wasn't actually that I was asking for it, it's that my contract had finished. So that's a pretty standard renegotiation."

Cohan and producers worked out a deal where Cohan returned for six episodes of season nine of The Walking Dead, but would then leave immediately to star on ABC's spy dramedy Whiskey Cavalier. But it's a good thing Cohan had her Walking Dead safety net. ABC canceled the show after one season, and luckily for fans, Cohan will return to the undead series in 2020. Watch this to find out the real reason these Walking Dead Actors Left.
