Alright, zombie fans, let's talk about the elephant in the room, or rather, the sheriff in the helicopter! Will Rick Grimes grace our screens again in Season 10 of The Walking Dead?
The short answer? Nope. Think of it like waiting for your pizza delivery – you're starving, the anticipation is killing you, but you know (hopefully!) it's coming, just not right now.
Why No Rick in Season 10?
Season 10 already aired, and sadly, Andrew Lincoln (our beloved Rick) didn't make an appearance. It's like showing up to a party dressed to impress, only to find out it was last week. Bummer, right?
But don't despair, fellow apocalypse enthusiasts! There's a very good reason he wasn't scavenging for supplies with Daryl and Carol. It's all about the bigger picture.
The Rick Grimes Movie Trilogy!
Instead of popping back into the series, Rick Grimes is getting his own movie trilogy! Think of it as leveling up from a TV show to a cinematic universe. It’s like going from driving a beat-up sedan to cruising in a supercharged sports car. Much fancier!
The plan is to explore what happened after Rick was whisked away in that mysterious helicopter with Jadis. We're talking a whole new world, potentially different communities, and even more terrifying threats than walkers.
"We’re going to tell the story of what happens after that helicopter ride, and tell it in a big way,” – Scott Gimple, Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead universe.
So, When Can We Expect Rick Back?
Ah, the million-dollar question! Unfortunately, there's no confirmed release date for the first movie yet. It's a bit like waiting for a particularly stubborn zombie to finally drop – frustrating, but inevitable (hopefully!).
The pandemic definitely threw a wrench in the works. Making movies is tough enough without having to worry about social distancing and face masks for the undead. Safety first, after all!
However, the good news is that the project is still very much alive! There have been whispers, rumors, and tantalizing hints dropped here and there. It's like hearing the faint rustling of leaves, knowing a walker (or Rick Grimes!) might be just around the corner.
Why This Is Actually Great News
Honestly, giving Rick his own movie trilogy is a fantastic idea. Think about it: he deserves a proper send-off, a grand adventure, something bigger than just a guest appearance. He’s Rick Grimes, after all! He doesn't just pop in for tea and cookies.
Plus, the movies will allow for a deeper exploration of his character and the new world he's been thrust into. We'll get to see him face new challenges, forge new alliances, and maybe even find some semblance of peace (though, let's be real, it's the zombie apocalypse, so probably not).
So, while Rick wasn't in Season 10, don't lose hope! He's out there, somewhere, gearing up for a cinematic return that promises to be epic. Just like waiting in line for the best roller coaster – the wait is long, but the ride is worth it!
Keep your eyes peeled, your ears open, and your crossbows ready. The return of Rick Grimes is coming, and it's going to be huge!
