BLACK PANTHER Star Danai Gurira Is Officially Leaving THE WALKING DEAD After Season 10
The Walking Dead will soon be totally unrecognisable as it's been revealed today that Danai Gurira's Michonne is set to depart the AMC series after making only a handful of appearances in season ten...
Since starring in Black Panther, Danai Gurira's career has really taken off (she's also a busy activist and works on a lot of stage plays) so this new probably won't surprise you: she's The Walking Dead's latest casualty.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress is leaving the long-running AMC drama during its tenth season. She boarded the series during season three and quickly became a fan-favourite character (just like her comic book counterpart). Now, she's signed a deal to return in a limited capacity and that means we'll only see her in "a handful of episodes."
It's said that it's "likely" she could appear in any or all of those TV movies revolving around Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes but she's clearly ready to move on.
This is going to shake The Walking Dead up in a major way and the show is quickly becoming unrecognisable compared to a few years ago. After all, it's already lost big names like Lincoln, Lauren Cohan, and Chandler Riggs, and it seems as if it will now become the Daryl and Carol show. Sounds...interesting, right?
