Caution: This post reveals key plot points from The Walking Dead spin-off series, Dead City, in its second season, specifically episode 4 titled “Lively Companion.
Although many characters in The Walking Dead were ordinary people before the outbreak, some had notable profiles, such as Beta, who was recently confirmed to have been a well-known figure. Interestingly, Beta is one of the series’ most menacing characters, but he had a thriving music career before the apocalypse. This recent revelation gives Beta more depth and complexity just before his demise. However, it also leaves us wondering if there are any other famous survivors still alive in the zombie-infested world of The Walking Dead.
It’s intriguing to note that the series Dead City has confirmed this suspicion, as it turns out that one of Manhattan’s notorious villains was quite renowned. The arrival of Kim Coates as Bruegel in the spinoff of The Walking Dead has been captivating, and his flamboyant persona makes one suspect he could be the famous one, but this hasn’t been verified yet. Bruegel seems to have had some public profile given his wealth and bodyguard, but season 2 of Dead City unveiled another formidable villain who held a significant position before the world collapsed, with one survivor even recalling her.
The Dama Was Famous Before The Walking Dead’s Zombie Outbreak
The Villain Was A Theater Critic Before The World Fell Apart
Even though she wasn’t a household name like top-tier celebrities, the Dama was quite prominent among theater critics, which caught Benjamin Pierce’s attention during his research into the old world. During their meal with Bruegel and the Dama’s group, Pierce brought up again that she seemed familiar, but this time he recalled where – it was her former role as a critic. He pointed out how she had significant power in the entertainment industry, able to make or break careers, hinting at her immense influence.
This explanation reveals both why she adores art deeply and underscores the significance of the Dama’s bond with Hershel in “Dead City”. Her background as a significant figure, possessing a keen eye for talent, strengthens her conviction in Hershel significantly within the narrative. Pierce hinted at her influential role by saying “she essentially managed the city“, reflecting her current standing, and the tale about the Dama biting a writer might symbolize her unpredictable temperament and potential for sudden outbursts.
In her post-outbreak persona, her past profession appears to have a greater impact compared to Beta’s seemingly unconnected background. However, both characters’ histories contribute significantly to the authenticity of the world in “The Walking Dead,” as it’s plausible that well-known individuals might have survived, but intriguingly, the primary survivors haven’t encountered many other notable figures like Dama and Beta yet.
Why Aren’t There More Famous People In The Walking Dead?
The Rich & Famous Surely Would Have Had More Resources To Survive
Given the extensive range of settings where The Walking Dead has taken place, both across America and Europe, one might find it surprising that fewer well-known survivors haven’t made an appearance. Though characters like Daryl (Dama) are recognized among a more specialized fanbase, the series hasn’t yet introduced a figure whose fame extends to almost every survivor. Initially, one might assume that the upper class would have had an edge in the apocalypse due to their access to advanced technology or even guards willing to protect them for financial reasons in the early stages. However, this advantage doesn’t seem to have been fully realized on-screen.

It appears that most prominent figures, including celebrities, are absent from these communities, which might have offered an intriguing twist in the series. If a well-known actor or musician were integrated into the main groups and had undergone a significant transformation after the apocalypse like character Beta, it could have added a fresh perspective to the storyline. Regrettably, it seems that very few established figures leveraged their wealth and influence to survive in this new world, and The Walking Dead’s neglect to delve into such an unusual narrative feels like a lost chance for what would have been an exciting and entertaining tale.
