If The Walking Dead took this route, it would mean that Rick’s return won’t be a result of his escape from the CRM. Rick Grimes returning as a brainwashed member of the CRM would set the stage for some heartbreaking reunions if such a scenario ever did come to pass. As things stand, there’s no telling when any of the three planned Walking Dead films will release. Once World Beyond ended, it became apparent that definitive answers won’t be offered until AMC finally makes its Rick Grimes movies. While the series allowed for a better understanding of why they may have taken him, where is he now and why he hasn’t come back have yet to be addressed at length.

However, its two-season run avoided directly explaining the Rick Grimes mystery. His continued absence from the community has raised a number of questions about his status in The Walking Dead universe.Īs a show focused on a conflict with the nefarious CRM, The Walking Dead: World Beyond dropped possible hints about Rick’s whereabouts as well as several big reveals about the organization’s methods. Despite being saved by the CRM more than six years ago, Rick has yet to return to his friends and family in Alexandria. If it turns out to be true, a new Fear the Walking Dead theory would provide an explanation for what really happened to Rick Grimes after his exit from The Walking Dead.
