The Walking Dead’s Andrew Lincoln Leaving After Season 9–Report

Andrew Lincoln has headed up the cast of AMC’s zombie drama The Walking Dead since it started back in 2010, playing group leader Rick Grimes. However, it has now been reported that Lincoln will leave the show after the next season, which premieres later this year.

The news comes via Collider, which reports that The Walking Dead Season 9 will be the actor’s last. Comicbook.com collaborates the story “from multiple independent sources,” and additionally states that AMC will officially announce Lincoln’s departure ahead of his final episodes.

While it’s unsurprising that Lincoln might want to leave The Walking Dead after nearly a decade of playing that single role, Rick has been at the center of the show since the very beginning. In the comic books on which The Walking Dead is based, Rick remains the main character, so expect a serious deviation from the story when Lincoln does make his exit.

This follows the news that co-star Lauren Cohan, who has played Maggie since Season 2, will also appear in a reduced number of episodes in Season 9. In March, it was reported that Cohan was holding out on signing the contract for Season 9 in order to improve her deal. Although she did ultimately sign on for the next season, Cohan will only appear in six episodes, as she will also be filming the ABC drama Whiskey Cavalier.

Collider notes that with Lincoln and potentially Cohan leaving the show, AMC is looking to make Norman Reedus, who plays fan-favorite Daryl, the lead and have offered him “substantial compensation” to remain on on board.

The Walking Dead Season 9 does not yet have a premiere date, but it is expected to hit screens in the Fall. This will be the first season under new showrunner Angela Kang, who replaces Scott Gimple. Although the show is still popular, viewership for Season 8 was well down from the record-breaking audience numbers that it has enjoyed in the past.

Spawn Reboot Casts Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx is set to portray Spawn in the upcoming reboot from Todd McFarlane.

Deadline reports Foxx will portray the titular human-turned-Hellspawn in what would be his second comic book movie. Foxx previously played the villainous Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Did Solo Make the Millennium Falcon Horrifying?

SPOILER WARNING: Important plot points from Solo: A Star Wars Story lie ahead.

Solo: A Star Wars Story tells the story of a young Han Solo, and how almost everything we know about him came together over the course of one rollicking, Western-themed adventure. But there are a few unexpected surprises that pop up over the course of this new movie, and one of them probably doesn’t come across the way the filmmakers intended, because it transforms a beloved piece of Star Wars iconography into something which, if you think about it, is pretty disturbing.

Say what you will about Solo: A Star Wars Story (and people are saying a lot), but let’s give credit to this Star Wars interquel for discussing a subject that most of the other films in the franchise have alluded to but never completely confronted.

Happytime Murders Creators Issue Response to Sesame Street Lawsuit

The Happytime Murders creators STX Entertainment have responded to Sesame Street’s lawsuit with a puppet lawyer.

Per Huffington Post, STX Entertainment issued a statement on the matter saying puppet lawyer Fred, Esq. will represent the studio in the lawsuit. The studio even provided a photo of Fred.

Roseanne Canceled by ABC

ABC has canceled the reboot of Roseanne.

The network pulled the plug on the hit show after Roseanne Barr made controversial comments on Twitter Tuesday morning about former White House adviser Valerie Jarrett. The tweet has since been deleted.

The following statement was provided to IGN by ABC:

“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show.” – Channing Dungey, president, ABC Entertainment

Barr has since issued an apology on Twitter which reads, “I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.”

Hands-On With Splatoon 2’s Octo Expansion

Splatoon 2 has seen a fair share of free content updates since its initial release last summer. There’s no doubt that Nintendo has been relentlessly hard at work keeping the game feeling fresh with new weapons, stages, and gear, not to mention a healthy amount of balance tweaks to the game itself. Now, as year two quickly approaches, the first paid DLC for the game is finally on its way and comes in the form of Octo Expansion.

In every other mode of Splatoon 2, you play as your very own custom Inkling known only as Agent 4. You’re on the job for Salmon Run, you’re the one splatting away in Turf Wars, and you’re the hero in Hero Mode. But, that’s not the case in the Octo Expansion – players will assume the role of Agent 8, an Octoling who wakes up with amnesia in a strange subway station that’s connected to a series of research facilities hidden under the city.
