It looks like The Walking Dead will bid farewell to its main honcho and lead character in some way or form soon, as The Hollywood Reporter reports that Andrew Lincoln - who plays former Sheriff's Deputy and zombie apocalypse survivor Rick Grimes in the series, is exiting the popular AMC series come the end of the show's ninth season. According to the report, Lincoln is going to be phased out and will be ending his run in the show similar to co-star Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie Greene and will only be appearing in six episodes of the next season. As a trade off, the network is looking to put the focus on Daryl Dixon, played by co-star Norman Reedus who is negotiating a higher deal that will see bigger pay and the focus of the show on the crossbow wielding redneck tracker who is Rick's best friend and right hand man.
The Walking Dead Season 9 is set to premiere sometime on October this year.
