The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus was reportedly injured while filming. The Fandemic Tour, which defines itself as “A New Kind of Comic Convention,” updated fans on Instagram stating that “Norman Reedus had to postpone due to an accident while filming.”
There is no additional information on whether Reedus was injured while filming the third part of the zombie show’s final season or if was during production on the Daryl and Carol spinoff show. There are also no details on exactly what he injured.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances Nick Carter had to postpone due to scheduling conflicts, and Norman Reedus had to postpone due to an accident while filming,” the Instagram post states. “We are sending all of our thoughts and positive energy to Norman Reedus. Everyone in our amazing community knows how much he loves his fans, and he wants you to know how terrible he feels about the situation. However, we all want him to do what is best for his health. Let’s send him all of our well-wishes and hope for a speedy recovery.”
The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus is set to reprise his role as Daryl Dixon alongside Melissa McBride who will play Carol once again. The untitled Daryl and Carol show is described as a “road show” with a different tone and feel from the flagship show. It won’t focus exclusively on the two popular TWD characters. Other characters are set to appear, but the two bffs will discover a new frontier in The Walking Dead Universe when the spinoff series starts its journey sometime in 2023.
“There are ways the story, of course, was going to continue to keep going,” TWD chief content officer Scott Gimple told Insider. “But it is going to continue to keep going with Daryl and Carol. It’s going to be a different show with a different tone, but the story of that corner of The Walking Dead, in some ways, it continues to go through them.”
“There’s many layers of approvals and things, but [it’s meant to be] a little lighter. Not in a way that feels frivolous, but I think like all of us are looking to have fun in that world,” said Angela Kang, who will serve as showrunner for the spinoff series. “It’s a road show — I hope I can say that — and so I think it will feel distinct. It’s definitely something that Norman and Melissa and I and Scott have all talked about, what we crave tonally.”
We all wish The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus a speedy recovery. The Walking Dead is currently airing part 2 of its eleventh and final season on AMC and streaming AMC+.
