Video 'Walking Dead' star Steven Yeun talks about his creepy new role
Michael Strahan, Sara Haines and Steven Yeun play an intense game of Rapid Fireball!
abcnews.go.comHere’s the latest I can provide based on recent reporting up to early 2025 and widely covered trends:
- Core update: Steven Yeun has moved on from his Walking Dead character Glenn Rhee and has indicated he does not plan to return to the series. He has emphasized wanting to finish that chapter of his life rather than reprise the role, even as fans sometimes speculate about flashbacks or special appearances [source coverage from 2024].[1]
- Post-Walking Dead career: Yeun has pursued a variety of high-profile projects outside The Walking Dead, including film work and television roles, as well as voice acting in animated projects. His post-TWD trajectory has included prestige projects and continued visibility in both indie and mainstream productions, signaling a deliberate shift away from returning to the show in any major capacity.[2][1]
- Reunions and cameos: There has not been confirmed reporting of a Glenn Rhee comeback in the main Walking Dead continuity or in spin-offs as of the latest updates available in 2024–2025. He has occasionally spoken about the character’s arc being closed for him, which has tempered expectations for a future return.[1]
Key takeaways
- Steven Yeun publicly projectizes his exit as a definitive finish to Glenn’s story, not a setup for a return.[1]
- His ongoing work remains high-profile and varied, keeping him visible beyond The Walking Dead universe.[2]
- No confirmed announcements or credible leaks have indicated a Glenn cameo or revival in new Walking Dead material as of the latest reporting through 2025.[2][1]
If you’d like, I can search for the very latest developments from specific outlets or provide a concise timeline of Yeun’s notable roles after The Walking Dead with dates and roles for quick reference. I can also pull direct quotes from interviews if you want precise phrasing.
