Lauren Cohan is ready to set out on a journey beyond 'The Walking Dead'

After Lincoln, it is now time for Cohan to put her talent to some real use other than fighting zombies, and she is taking up every available option to do that.
UPDATED AUG 22, 2018

Lauren Cohan quit her role as Maggie Rhee for the ninth season of 'The Walking Dead', immediately after Andrew Lincoln stepped out of the show to only appear in a few episodes for the season. Although there have been rumors that Cohan would have taken over the lead role following Lincoln's departure from the show, the actress, however, confirmed that she wanted to concentrate more on other projects.

For any artist working on one particular project for too long can lead to boredom and Cohan seems to be no exception to the rule. In a conversation with the Associated Press, she stated that working for almost eight years in one show has made her too comfortable with her life in general. She said, "Eight years is a really long time to be in those emotional depths and it’s really fun for me because I never thought about drama as much when I started this career, and I always kind of assumed I’d do like light fare." She has always been a little too frustrated with work and life, and maybe that was why she made some quick shifts to new houses.
