Among the multitude of "Walking Dead" spinoffs of the past, present, and future is the upcoming "Isle of the Dead," which will star and foreground the relationship between Negan and Maggie Rhee (Lauren Cohan). While its release is still scheduled for a date in the year 2023 that has yet to be determined, Jeffrey Dean Morgan shared a photo to his Instagram account on July 17 suggesting that the series has just begun filming.
Morgan's photo — followed in a slideshow by a picture of his son in a Sonic the Hedgehog costume — simply consists of the front page of a script for the "Isle of the Dead" pilot. While Morgan doesn't explicitly contextualize why he decided to post this, it presumably means that he's now on the set of "Isle of the Dead," and therefore utilizing that script.
For what it's worth, on June 2, Morgan posted to his personal Twitter account that he and Cohan had read and enjoyed the scripts for the entire first season of "Isle of the Dead." "We've read the season, it's gonna blow your minds," he wrote.
Although "Isle of the Dead" may still be without a release date, it appears production is moving along on the series, meaning that new info may soon be forthcoming.
