Poll of the Day > Andrew Lincoln is LEAVING The Walking Dead while Norman Reedus gets 20 MILLION!

(+) Yeah! (+)

44 y/o British Actor Andrew Lincoln has let the chicken out of the bag that he is FINISHED with the Walking Dead as he and Lauren Cohan will make their exit on the franchise as Season 9 will be his LAST..and he will ONLY be in it for SIX EPISODES!!

He played Rick Grimes as the actor said he's "had enough" of it and said he wants to focus his energy on MOVIES

Another insider said that Norman Reedus will be given 20 MILLION just to stay on the show!!

The show is already going through changes with a new showrunner after Scott Gimple was fired and the season saw the exit of his son, Carl in Season 8.

He opened up on how the lost of his son opened up a lot of important parts and how he feels it's time he exits the show.

No word on how he will exit the show given he's only in it for 6 episodes and had a romantic relationship with Michonne played by Danai Gurira.

Danai's career is also skyrocketing after her appearance on Avengers and Black Panther as she too may take the plunge to exit and focus on her movie career.

Lauren Cohan was in negotiations with AMC to stay on the show if her salary was raised reasonably but with that out the window and signed on an ABC show, Whiskey Cavalier, her exit on the series will happen sometime in Season 9 as well.

Do you think Season 9 should be the last season?.

I read this as Abraham Lincoln at first

The actors are seeing the writing on the walls. Viewership has plummeted over the past 2 or 3 seasons. Just call time of death on the show and move on.

They should, but they won't. It's AMC's highest rated show even still, so they'll just gut the budget and cast both figuratively and literally, and then to keep the metaphor going, they'll shuffle along like a rotting corpse that used to be much more.

It's kind of a shame because this show's poor performance will prevent other good zombie shows from coming out for some time, I imagine. Instead of getting something akin to The Last of Us on television format, or 28 weeks later-esque, we got a really bad show with horrible showrunners.

I wish that HBO would do a good post apocalyptic zombie show. I'm sure they'd do well with it.

I thought it should have ended last season and the Negan storyline should have been wrapped up a season before that instead of another half season of Rick moping and whining. I've given up on this and FWD, frankly I'm all zombie'd out-not that this has been about zombies for a long time now of course...

Should have ended years ago. Who would have guessed a zombie show would be so boring
---

stopped watching after glenn died tbh. did they bring him back yet?
---

His acting was shit, ever since the beginning. Like laughably and noticeably bad, especially that horrific attempt at an accent. Corrrralll. Not that it matters as I've stopped watching years ago, but the show wouldn't suffer much without him.
---

What film career does he have?
---

Seems like everyone wants off this sinking ship.
---

I stopped watching after the prison arc, and it sounds like the show's been all downhill since.
I guess that's what happens when you make a show that recycles the exact same plotpoints over and over again without building towards an ending. Rick and gang find place to stay, everything is fine for a while, shit happens and they have to leave. Rinse and repeat like every season.
