HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES: Terry Crews and Olivia Munn headlined the first episode of 'Tales of The Walking Dead', the latest spinoff from 'The Walking Dead' franchise. The 'America's Got Talent'  host played Joe, a survivor during the apocalypse, and how he searches for love after losing his dog to the walkers. Together, he and Munn set out to find their respective potential partners and they navigate turmoil and walkers along their journey before ending up together. 

The episode ends on a bright and hopeful note for both Joe and Evie (Munn), and questions have been since doing the rounds on social media about their future in the franchise. Crews, in an interview with comicbook, teased the possibility of a return in the future. Although 'Tales' is a six-episode anthology miniseries, Crews may have some entry points in other series that he hinted at.

"Absolutely. Absolutely," Crews said when asked if Joe could return. "When you're talking about Maggie and Negan having a spinoff, you're talking about Daryl's show, and then with Rick and Michonne coming back, there are three different worlds that I could enter." He also added: "It's a big world, and I think that the actual flagship series is still very, very small, and we can expand this to a whole other thing." 

At the same time, the 54-year-old also admitted that he was wary of the cost of failure. "You've got to understand, I was worried. You have to know because I'm a fan too. I am the biggest fan," Crews told the outlet about 'The Walking Dead', AMC's flagship post-apocalyptic zombie drama that's confirmed to end with an eleventh and final season. "And the last thing you want to be is the guy who ruined the franchise." Crews has been a longtime fan of the franchise and was one of the latest veteran actors to make an appearance in the hit show.

"Listen, you got to know, this is a dream. This world is as big as Marvel. It's as big as any other world," Crews says. "And I am a big-time horror, sci-fi fan, and especially of this show."
