Fans were quick to point out that Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes was missing from the Walking Dead: Last Episodes trailer that premiered during Comic-Con, and now we might know why. AMC announced that Lincoln and Danai Gurira are turning to the world of The Walking Dead in a brand-new series.

During the Walking Dead panel, Lincoln and Gurira, who played Michonne on the show, made a surprise appearance, announcing the new project.

"The series will continue the journey and love story of the Rick Grimes and Michonne characters," AMC said via press release. "Scott M. Gimple, the chief content officer of The Walking Dead Universe, will serve as showrunner on the series, which will begin with six episodes in 2023. Lincoln and Gurira are both executive producers."
