n porting over a group of fan-favorite characters from creator Robert Kirkman?s comic books, The Walking Dead will soon add a diverse and remixed lineup of survivors to its ranks.
?It?s been really fun for us to work on this new group that comes in. Magna and Yumiko are fan favorites. And then we really were into the idea of having an interesting group that?s with them. Luke, Connie, and Kelly,? showrunner Angela Kang told EW.
?Those are all characters in the comic book. It?s our sort of take on them. And what?s been great is obviously [Kirkman] is so generous about how we adapt his comics. None of these characters are literal to the way they are in the comic book, but they?re still true to the spirit of these characters. And we really like the idea of having a group that felt kind of different from the other groups that we?ve seen come up on the show.?
The group feels ?quite international,? Kang said, pointing to Germany-born Magna (The 100?s Nadia Hilker), who is also of Middle Eastern descent and who speaks with ?a little bit of an accent because she grew up in Germany.?
Yumiko (Wonder Woman?s Eleanor Matsuura), who in the comics was Magna?s girlfriend, is ?of Japanese descent but she grew up in the U.K., so she has a British accent.? And of Luke (Fantastic Beast?s Dan Fogler), Kang teased, ?he?s sort of a different type than the Luke in the comics, and he brings great comedic chops and warmth and fun to the role.?
