Andrew Lincoln’s Departure from The Walking Dead

In the heart of Georgia, The Walking Dead brings its apocalyptic world to life. Across the pond in England, Andrew Lincoln, better known as the resilient Rick Grimes, battles the undead with unwavering determination. Yet, after nine gripping seasons, Lincoln grapples with the toll of prolonged separation from his family.

So, he decided to bid farewell to the role that defined him. While he may have stepped away from the series, Lincoln remains tethered to the Walking Dead universe, committing to three TV movies. It’s a departure laden with both emotional sacrifice and financial implications, and bidding adieu to a character and a paycheck worth $1 million per episode.
