Walking Dead’s Next Spinoff Will Finally Answer Whether The Franchise Replaced Rick Grimes

With The Walking Dead still trying to find its Rick Grimes’ (Andrew Lincoln) replacement, the franchise’s upcoming spinoff will finally answer whether it has found its new leading character. Rick has been a staple of the series since it first aired in 2010, but with Andrew Lincoln leaving The Walking Dead in season 9, they have been desperately trying to find a character to fill his shoes. Perhaps the most obvious character to take over would have been Rick’s son, Carl (Chandler Riggs). The show killed Carl off the season before Rick’s departure, however, leaving a massive hole in the series that The Walking Dead is still trying to fill.
