Rick Grimes will return to the Walking Dead Universe, but not on Tales of the Walking Dead. Premiering August 14, the episodic anthology series takes place throughout the timeline of the Walker Apocalypse, with self-contained episodes revisiting Atlanta at the onset of the outbreak in 2010 and a zombie-plagued Dead Sector years after the collapse of civilization. Along with a cast of Walking Dead fresh meat playing new characters, Tales revisits the origins of familiar characters — characters like Dee (Samantha Morton), the future Alpha of the Whisperers, in a prequel to Morton’s time on The Walking Dead.
To the amazing fan who sent this- I love you, but there’s only one Rick Grimes & that’s Andrew Lincoln. So despite the intriguing theory, I am not playing a younger version of Rick in #TalesOfTWD Sorry to burst the bubble, but hey, maybe he’s got a cousin out there somewhere 🤔 pic.twitter.com/ZOYRzxRlgk
