Besides, there’s no way Andrew Lincoln would spoil Rick’s death months ahead of it taking place on the small screen.
Now, we shouldn’t take Andrew Lincoln’s references to”the funeral” so literally as to mean that Rick is definitely going to bite the dust in Season 9.
The metaphorical funeral is the one that takes Lincoln away from the show that turned him into a household name and the friends he made during his time in the zombie apocalypse.
He’s definitely on the top of our list of characters most likely to die and we’ve come up with some morbidly fun theories about how it could happen, but there’s no 100% guarantee that Rick is going to die.
