Is Andrew Lincoln quitting The Walking Dead?
- 6 years ago
Andrew Lincoln has reportedly quit ‘The Walking Dead’.
The 44-year-old actor has starred as Rick Grimes in AMC's hit zombie TV drama since it began in 2010, but Collider reports that he is poised to leave the show mid-way through the upcoming Season 9 - meaning he'll only appear in six of the expected 16 episodes.
AMC are now reportedly offering a substantial deal to co-star Norman Reedus - who has played Daryl Dixon since the first season - in a bid to keep the original cast member onboard and persuade him to take over as lead.
