A Very Important Walking Dead Star Is Heading to World Beyond

Not a ton of individuals are watching The Walking Dead, and even fewer are watching its second spin-off sequence, World Beyond. So little, in truth, that its soon-to-premiere second season will even be its final. But the present is clearly making an attempt to attract some additional viewers for its swan track by bringing aboard a predominant TWD character who holds the largest secret within the franchise: What the hell occurred to Rick Grimes.

That can be Jadis a.okay.a. Anne (Pollyanna McIntosh), former chief of the Garbage People, who was final seen in season 9 flying away in a helicopter with Rick after he’d been injured blowing up a bridge to guard Alexandria (and after star Andrew Lincoln wished to give up the present to spend extra time in England together with his household). Thanks to TWD season eight, we all know the helicopter belonged to the Civic Republic Military, a gaggle that made a sinister association with Jadis’ individuals: They’d present sources like meals (implying that they had been extraordinarily well-stocked) if Jadis gave them captured survivors and just lately contaminated take a look at topics. But after they flew away, the one clue about Rick’s destiny was a pair of his boots and his cellphone, which Michonne discovered on an island in Maryland.

All that is to say we have now completely no clue what occurred to Rick after that helicopter whisked him away—however Jadis does. Now, I’m undecided why she would inform the children of World Beyond something about some dude they’ve by no means heard of, however we must always no less than get some information concerning the CRM, who’ve been the primary antagonists within the spin-off, which is ready a number of years after the occasions of TWD (they’ve additionally appeared within the prequel spin-off Fear the Walking Dead, too). That will no less than give a small clue what occurred to Rick, which Scott Gimple, AMC’s head honcho of all issues Walking Dead, confirmed in a press launch: “In our story, years have passed—we’ll get hints of what happened with that fateful helicopter ride and learn Jadis has new allies and alliances; she is a big part of connecting the CRM and Three Circles mythology that’s seen throughout all three series. We can’t wait to share it all with fans of the TWDU.”

Given that AMC continues to be planning on making a film starring Lincoln that can presumably reply the most important questions on Rick’s post-helicopter escapades, I wouldn’t get too enthusiastic about no matter “hints” are on the way in which. But no less than I’m sort of all for watching World Beyond for the primary time ever, so well-plated TWD. Well-played.
