“At the top of the season in the first episode, you find our relationship has started and ended,” the actor mentioned. “And we’re in the sort of unfortunate situation of still living together in this very small community and kind of being forced to collaborate in a way that isn’t really comfortable. There’s a lot of tensions that arise between our characters throughout that process.”

Regarding Sunday’s flashback episode, Lamanna advised The Post it was “a really fun opportunity” to discover Kat and Ellie’s dynamic pre-breakup.
“We see a much lighter version of the two of them together, and you get a glimpse into a history that is less weighted down,” they defined.
“We see these characters who are still sort of living through this what is a zombie apocalypse and we get these sort of gifts throughout the season of these moments of levity. It’s really beautiful to see and I think for audiences it’s very refreshing when there’s a lot of really intense stuff happening in the rest of the season.”

Lamanna also teased that there may very well be more story to inform between Kat and Ellie.
“We get some glimpses into their dynamic, but it certainly leaves you with a lot of questions about, what happened, how we ended up where we are,” they said. “There’s a lot of storyline left untold in between for sure.”
