Lincoln starred as the show’s protagonist for eight years. He is one of the show’s most well-loved zombie-fighting characters and when he left the show in season nine, fans were pretty disappointed.

Now, Gimple has confirmed that Rick Grimes will be returning in the trilogy of Walking Dead movies. The franchise will pick up on Rick’s story from where the TV series left off. Lincoln will be reprising his role as the core TWD character.

Speaking to ComicBook.com, Gimple revealed that Lincoln is very involved in the production process. He said: “He throws around the football with the rest of us. He’s very, very invested in this thing.” He then added: “I got to tell you, [Lincoln’s] itching to get back, too. We all are.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Gimple revealed that the film trilogy will invite new fans while also honoring those who have invested in the series.

“We have to honor people who have invested the time in their lives in the show,” he explained. “But we can’t do that at the expense of inviting everybody. I think those things can work together… Rick has a history and the history will be present within him and it’ll be a big part of who he is.”

He added: “But it’s likely going to be a very different Rick that we see as well.”

The Walking Dead movie has no set release date.

Lincoln’s almost 10-year run as Rick Grimes came to a close during Season 9. After almost a decade spent on the set of The Walking Dead, the actor felt it’s finally time to focus on his family and announced his departure.

Grimes has been the beating heart of the AMC’s zombie smash hit since the very beginning, and his final episode proved to be pretty polarizing. Some of the fans were happy he made it out alive, while others found it too ambiguous and open-ended.

It seems like they’re going to get all the answers they’ve been looking for in a new series of spin-off movies. They’ll explore the story of where Rick Grimes was taken and what he faces in a new corner of the zombie apocalypse.
