Previously there had been reports that there could be an Alpha-centric episode of Tales of the Walking Dead. Recently Samantha Morton, who portrayed Alpha in The Walking Dead series, posted a video on IG of her driving on a highway heading into Atlanta, Georiga. She could be filming something else, but maybe we will see Alpha again.
Editors Note: Since publishing this article, it has been announced that Morton will reprise her role as Alpha in an episode of Tales of the Walking Dead.
