Looks like Jon Bernthal wasn’t just visiting The Walking Dead’s set just to hang out after all.
The Walking Dead will return for Season 9 this fall.
AMC has not confirmed, but Bernthal was spotted with departing series star Andrew Lincoln near The Walking Dead’s Senoia, Georgia set, as well as at Nic and Norman’s, a restaurant in Senoia owned by actor Norman Reedus and executive producer Greg Nicotero.
Lincoln will be leaving the show in the first half of Season 9, so presumably Bernthal will appear in a flashback in Lincoln’s final episode.
