How Does Rick Die on The Walking Dead?
Rick's Last Episode of The Walking Dead Is Devastating — Here's How It All Plays Out

Well, the story of Rick Grimes is far from over. According to Scott M. Gimple, who appeared on Talking Dead after the episode, Rick is definitely alive and "it's not a weird trick," but that was the last we'll ever see of him on the show. That being said, his character is going to live on in another venue. "We're gonna continue telling his story in a series of original AMC films," he said. "It expands the universe. It's gonna show a different corner of the world."
The Hollywood Reporter has also revealed that Lincoln will continue playing the character in "three feature-length movies that will air on AMC (and possibly another outlet)." Production on the first film begins production in 2019, and will see Gimple writing the script. There's no word on what corners of the world Rick will end up in, or why he'd choose not to return to his family, but we have faith Gimple and Lincoln wouldn't move forward with Rick's story if it doesn't make sense. And apparently we have plenty of time to theorize about how it might all come together, so settle in.
