Sonequa Martin-Green would love to return for The Walking Dead anthology series

Sasha Williams (Sonequa Martin-Green) died on The Walking Dead a while back, but with an anthology series on the way, the dead will rise.

The Walking Dead universe is expanding every day, including with a new anthology series, Tales of the Walking Dead. This show will drop after the flagship series concludes with season 11, and will dive deeper into the backstories of various characters.

This could potentially mean that characters who have died on The Walking Dead could return and reprise their roles. Just imagine the characters we’d get to see again: Sasha, Abraham, Glenn, Carl and more.

And there’s one cast member in particular who’s more than willing to return. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Sonequa Martin-Green, who played the sassy and fierce Sasha Williams, revealed her desire to come back. “I’d love it. I’d loooooove it. I love Sasha. I love The Walking Dead. That was my family before this family.”

Back in the season 7 finale, Martin-Green’s Sasha took her own life by ingesting a poison pill in the hopes that her undead self would attack and kill Negan. Ugh, remember that Negan?

Luck was on Martin-Green’s side, as she soon after joined CBS All Access’ Star Trek: Discovery in a lead role and has continued killing it ever since. However, if she could return as Sasha, even if just for a brief moment, The Walking Dead fans would be ecstatic, and clearly, so would she.

"It would be interesting. I was always interested in backstory. Of course, I am as an actor with every character that I play. But as the years went on as Sasha, I was finding so much joy in developing so much backstory that no one would ever know. That’s one of the great things about being an actor in TV, is that you get to build so much life over the years and over the seasons."

Make it happen, AMC. Pretty please?
