'The Walking Dead' dearly departed: Where are they now?

To celebrate the Oct. 22 Season 8 premiere of The Walking Dead — the series’ 100th episode — Yahoo TV will be posting a new TWD-related story every day through the season opener.

On The Walking Dead, most characters’ days are numbered. It’s a harsh, unforgiving world filled with hungry, flesh-eating zombies, and over the years, the show has suffered many losses. The deaths have ranged from tragic to deserved, unspeakably sad to the kind where everyone yelled “finally!” The show has always attracted actors of high caliber, and some appeared for just a few episodes, while others stuck around for years. But almost all went on to other interesting projects on television or movies. Here’s a rundown of where some of the most notable TWD alums ended up.

The Walking Dead Season 8 premieres Oct. 22 at 9 p.m. on AMC.
