Andrew Lincoln Reveals How Rick Grimes Would Want The Walking Dead To End

Happy endings on The Walking Dead are quite rare. Yet, many of us still wonder, “How will The Walking Dead end?”

Will the show have a happy ending? Will civilization be rebuilt? Or will all the characters we’ve come to know and love become zombified undead walkers roaming the Earth for eternity?

Andrew Lincoln has a vision of what Rick Grimes would like to see if the end of The Walking Dead was up to him. After asking Lincoln about how Rick Grimes would want to see the show end during an exclusive interview, Lincoln laughed and confirmed the question, “The happy ending from Rick Grimes’ perspective?”

After assuring him that was indeed the question, Lincoln shared Rick’s vision. “I think just… Maybe taking his boots off, getting in a warm bath, and watching his children frolic hand in hand through a field of daisies,” Lincoln explained.

However, like many of us, Lincoln realizes how slim the chances are of that ever happening. “I don’t think that’s ever gonna happen,” Lincoln concluded. Something tells me he’s right and we won’t ever watch Carl and Judith frolicking together, happily ever after.

The Walking Dead‘s sixth season begins this Sunday, October 11 at 9 PM EST on AMC. How do you think the series will end when the time comes?
