The Walking Dead star Khary Payton, who plays King Ezekiel on the AMC zombie drama, has canceled an appearance at the show’s final San Diego Comic-Con panel after testing positive for COVID-19. Payton was scheduled to join his Season 11 co-stars on stage at Hall H on Friday to answer fan questions and reveal the first trailer for The Walking Dead: The Last Episodes, the eight-part series conclusion airing in October. On Thursday, Payton announced in a post on his social media that he tested positive for the virus and is currently quarantined with “mild” symptoms.
Welp. Looks like I’ll be here in quarantine for #SDCC. Just tested positive for COVID. Symptoms are mild. I’m pretty well protected, vaxxed and boosted, so just gonna sleep this off. Stay safe out there, everyone. #twd #teentitansgo #sdcc2022 pic.twitter.com/9p1wdtDdE0
