TWD: Lennie James And Melissa McBride Tease Morgan And Carol's Journey To The Kingdom

During The Walking Dead Season 7 Preview Special, Lennie James and Melissa McBride teased what's ahead for Morgan and Carol. As fans learned in the Season 7 trailer which debuted at Comic Con last month, the two characters with opposing views are headed to a new location: The Kingdom.

The Kingdom will become a major component to the civilization Rick Grimes is trying to build in time but, first, we have to meet the community and its leader Ezekiel. "I can't wait for people to see the episode where [Ezekiel is] introduced," McBride says. "The character is so special because he's just big from the comic books. I don't think the fans are gonna be disappointed."

"Morgan ends up on the road to the Kingdom," James teases. "It will be interesting and one of the things that excited me about the episodes coming up is how Morgan survives in this particular group without Rick as an anchor and without Rick over his shoulder saying, 'I'm gonna put you in this cell.' This is Morgan meeting people as Morgan, who have no knowledge of him and have no knowledge of his history. One of the things that's most interesting to me about Morgan is he smiles in the Kingdom. It will be interesting to find out why that happens."

With the unlikely duo paired up heading into the coming episodes, the two actors are excited for the audience to experience their dynamic. "One of the things I've enjoyed most in Season 6 and looking forward to in Season 7 is where Melissa and I get to take our characters," James says, with McBride adding, "It'll be very interesting to see these two together in Season 7."

The Walking Dead will return for its seventh season October 23 at 9 PM ET on AMC. For complete coverage, insider info, and more all season long, follow @BrandonDavisBD on Twitter and check out The Walking Dead on ComicBook.com on Facebook.
