SDCC '19: The Walking Dead SDCC 2019 news and TWD Season 10 Trailer released

The Walking Dead has been many things since it premiered in 2010 and adapted the comic book series of the same name (which recently concluded) written by Robert Kirkman and drawn by Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard. Initially telling the story of a Sheriff's Deputy named Rick Grimes who searches for his family and eventually comes to lead a group of survivors amidst a zombie apocalypse, nine seasons have seen characters come and go as well as new locations and adversities explored beyond that of the undead.

At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, the cast and crew of AMC's The Walking Dead returned with some more news for their two shows "The Walking Dead" and spin-off "Fear The Walking Dead", as well as updates on the "Rick Grimes" focuses movies and a new untitled Spin-Off show. Last year's Season 9 also saw the departure of series lead Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick Grimes and will eventually return in a trilogy of films set for release in the near future - which was teased with a trailer.

And then there's the news of the untitled Walking Dead spin-off, which will be the third show to be among the AMC line-up and will be overseen and directed by Kong: Skull Island and upcoming Metal Gear movie director Jordan Vogt-Roberts. The Hollywood Reporter has the details, including the cast.

 The Walking Dead Season 10 premieres on October 6 on AMC.

Danai Gurira will be departing "The Walking Dead" on Season 10

Fans of AMC's The Walking Dead best be prepared to say goodbye to another mainstay series regular, as The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Danai Gurira - who has played the badass sword wielding survivor Michonne - will be exiting the series come Season 10 of the critically acclaimed zombie drama series.

After debuting in Season 3 of the show and eventually becoming the love interest of Rick Grimes, Gurira has signed on to appear on a limited capacity in the show similar to her fellow co-star and Rick actor Andrew Lincoln - who recently left the series as a regular and will star in a trilogy of "Rick Grimes" movies for AMC. Vastly different from its comic book counterpart, The Walking Dead is now a show following the main thrust of the storyline of a group of survivors struggling to rebuild in a world dominated by the undead - yet now without Rick, Carl, and soon Michonne as well. Original character Daryl Dixon - played by Norman Reedus - serves as the new face of the ongoing series.

The Walking Dead resumes its ninth season this February 10th on AMC.
