Andrew Lincoln addressed the elephant in the room at the start of The Walking Dead SDCC panel. “This will be my last season playing the part of Rick Grimes,” he told fans at the panel.
“I love this show. It means everything to me. I love the people who make this show… I’m particularly fond of the people who watch this show… This has been the most extraordinary, amazing, useful experience of my career.” He later added toward the end of his emotional speech: “My relationship with Mr. Grimes is far from over.”
Andrew also praised the cast, saying they’re “doing the greatest work I’ve ever seen.” As for Rick when season 9 picks up, Andrew teased: “He’s been through a lot of stresses and strains.
He’s had a tough time.”
Back in May 2018, fans were shocked when they found that Andrew was reportedly leaving the hit AMC show after the show’s upcoming ninth season. It was reported that he was only set to appear in about half a dozen episodes, according to Collider. Andrew has been played Rick Grimes on the show since it premiered in 2010.
The Walking Dead season 9 is set to premiere this fall on AMC. The show also stars Norman Reedus, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Danai Gurira, Lauren Cohan, Lennie James, and Melissa McBride.
