returned to San Diego Comic-Con to preview the remaining episodes of its final season on AMC, Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira made a surprise appearance following the panel in Hall H.

Lincoln, who originated the role of Rick Grimes, played the character for the first nine seasons before departing the zombie franchise.

After his departure in 2018, it was reported that he was set to reprise his role in a trilogy of feature films. But in the four years since his character was rescued by a helicopter and seemingly disappeared for good, there’s been no formal announcement or movement on the projects.

However, that all changed during Comic-Con 2022, when Lincoln and Gurira took the stage to announce the next part of their journey: instead of a movie, we're getting a six-part Rick and Michonne-focused limited series, coming to AMC+ next year!Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira make a surprise appearance during #TheWalkingDead#SDCC panel.
