Fans of AMC's
The Walking Dead got thrown a curveball last night when it was revealed that
Carl Grimes had been bitten by a walker. Actor Chandler Riggs and showrunner Scott Gimple confirmed that Carl's time on the show will end in the mid-season premiere on February 25.
As one of the last few original stars of the show, Carl's exit is certainly a surprise. Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Riggs said that Carl's death was just as shocking to him, but that he will have a fitting end to his story.
"I didn't expect for Carl to ever get killed off. But it serves a good purpose in the story. There's still a little more left in Carl's story — in episode nine [the midseason premiere in 2018] — and that impacts Rick, Michonne and everyone. Although Carl's story is coming to an end it's not over yet."
Check out the shocking scene below, along with a promo for when the show returns in February.
