Warning: this article contains spoilers for tonight’s Walking Dead episode!
While Andrew Lincoln’s time on The Walking Dead came to an end tonight, this isn’t the end of Rick Grimes’ story. On tonight’s Talking Dead follow-up special, Walking Dead chief content officer Scott Gimple revealed that Rick will be the focus of several “AMC Originals” films that continue where Rick’s story left off in tonight’s episode.
This news comes as tonight’s episode “What Comes After” defied expectations in a major way. Just as it seemed Rick was sacrificing himself to save the Hilltop from a massive zombie invasion, Rick survived what seemed like certain death and will remain a part of the Walking Dead franchise.
