While he subsequently disappears, we eventually learn that he has, in fact, survived, as he helicopters off with Anne (Pollyanna McIntosh) and her allies. He’s presumed dead by members of his clan as of Season 9’s fifth episode, “What Comes After,” after blowing up a bridge with dynamite to stave off hordes of walkers. Lincoln’s character is a sheriff who led the show’s pack of survivors for its first nine seasons. In it, survivors of an apocalyptic event grapple with an almost constant threat of attacks from zombies, referred to as “walkers,” amidst a collapsed civilization.
RICK THE WALKING DEAD COMICS COLOR SERIES
Nearing the end of its 11th and final season, The Walking Dead is the first series in a post-apocalyptic zombie franchise, based on Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard’s comic books of the same name. “I can’t wait to get my cowboy boots back on,” he said. But Lincoln confirmed today those plans have been shelved and the network is now closing his story with the series. Originally, the plan was to wrap up Rick’s story in a stand-alone film at Universal sources say the studio had been talking to Craig Zobel to direct.

well, the trickery involving Rick not dying, the show's cutesy tactics for trying to fool its viewers have landed less-than-ideally. Nothing came of it except to establish that everyone in the world was infected with a virus that turns them into zombies when they die, no matter how they die.Īnother issue fans and critics have had at times was the show's reliance on cheap smoke and mirrors-style deception.
Back in Season 1, in a break from the comics, Rick's crew visited the CDC for a spell. There's no intuitive end point within the established story for this show. The Walking Dead has long taken flak over its lack of an endgame. (That's basically what happened with the Obi-Wan Kenobi show.) Giving us a look at the much larger world, outside of North America, would be a rad twist.Īlso, there's really no other explanation for why Rick wouldn't have made it back to his daughter Judith by now (aside from him being dead, which obviously won't be the case).
