The Walking Dead’s Aaron Deserves a Spinoff—And Here’s Why It Should Include Father Gabriel!

The Walking Dead has introduced us to countless unforgettable characters, but few have evolved as powerfully as Aaron. From his first appearance as Alexandria’s recruiter to becoming one of the show’s most resilient survivors, Aaron has proven time and time again that he is more than just a supporting character—he’s leading man material.

So, why hasn’t he gotten his own spinoff yet? With The Walking Dead Universe expanding, it’s time to give Aaron the spotlight he deserves. And who better to join him than Father Gabriel?

Aaron: A Survivor Who Deserves More Screen Time

Played masterfully by Ross Marquand, Aaron has undergone one of the most compelling transformations in the series. He started as a hopeful diplomat, believing in the good of people, only to be hardened by loss and war. Despite everything, he remains one of the most compassionate and tactical survivors.

His leadership in The Walking Dead’s final seasons proved he could carry a story beyond Alexandria. A spinoff following Aaron could explore the post-apocalyptic world through his unique perspective—one of survival, diplomacy, and the painful balance between hope and violence.

The Perfect Duo: Aaron & Father Gabriel

If there’s one character who matches Aaron’s journey in complexity and growth, it’s Father Gabriel. From a cowardly priest hiding behind locked doors to one of the most ruthless warriors in the series, Gabriel has evolved in ways no one expected.

Imagine a The Walking Dead spinoff where Aaron and Gabriel travel the wasteland, encountering new threats, forming alliances, and perhaps even rekindling civilization in their own way. Their contrasting personalities—Aaron’s diplomacy vs. Gabriel’s hardened realism—would make for an intense yet heartfelt dynamic.

Why This Spinoff Needs to Happen

With The Walking Dead universe expanding through spinoffs like Daryl Dixon, Dead City, and The Ones Who Live, there’s no reason why Aaron and Gabriel shouldn’t get their own series. They are fan favorites with strong story arcs, and Ross Marquand and Seth Gilliam have proven they can deliver powerhouse performances.

The world of The Walking Dead isn’t done yet, and neither is Aaron. It’s time to give him—and Father Gabriel—their own post-apocalyptic adventure.
