Mentioning Will, can you talk about the development of that character and his love story with Felix, which we first see here in the two-part finale? In the sisters’ final scene together, Hope tells Iris that she’s not the only special one it’s the two of them together that makes them the real “asset.” How will that play out in the future? It was a prime opportunity for us to play with that concept in a limited series. There are definitely clues along the way, and a couple of things she did throughout the season that might have had people wondering if they can trust her or not, but we wanted to lay the groundwork for the reveal, and also have fun with the idea that we’re meeting characters for the first time and one or more of them might not be who we think they are. Our first conversations were about who are these people? One thing that appealed to us was the idea of having someone part of the CRM also be part of this group, only they don’t know it and the audience doesn’t know it. Yeah, that was one of the first things we came up with when and I talked about in creating these characters. What better person to work alongside him than Hope? It was really about the generational plan that the CRM has, and it’s something we’ll delve into more in season two.Īs far as Huck goes, was the character conceived with this heel turn in mind? It’s something that’s going to take generations to do. We established that her father Leo (Joe Holt) is at this research facility, laying groundwork for a cure. There were other hints we laid out along the way about how Huck and the CRM in general have plans for people with above average minds. We saw her exhibiting her intellect in an interesting way at the beginning, brewing alcohol. There’s a whole back story we had in our head originally when we created the series. It was about exploring the relationship between Hope and Huck.
Huck aimed to show Hope the ropes and get her to learn about the apocalypse with firsthand experience she didn’t mean for Hope’s sister Iris (Aliyah Royale) and the rest of their companions to come along for the ride, and she certainly didn’t intend to get into a fight-for-her-life opposite former best friend and colleague Felix (Nico Tortorella). The finale explains Huck’s reason for infiltrating the group, and indeed, pushing them onto the open road in the first place: it’s all an effort to show the world to Hope (Alexa Mansour), firmly on the CRM’s radar thanks to her brilliant mind. In the two part finale, “The Deepest Cut” and “In This Life,” the road trip reaches an abrupt and violent end as a traitor stands revealed: Huck, played by The Americans veteran Annet Mahendru, who turns out to be the daughter of Julia Ormand’s Civic Republic Military leader Elizabeth Kublek. Both things are alive and well in the realm of the dead, as The Walking Dead: World Beyond closes out its first season and starts looking ahead toward its second (and final) batch of episodes. There’s hope for the future, and then there’s Hope for the future.
