With AMC’s The Walking Dead heading toward season 9, creator Robert Kirman teases that (for now, Baby) Judith could take over when Rick Grimes eventually departs as leader of the TV show.
Of course, with Judith still resembling a baby in season 8, Walking Dead would need to pull a Fear The Walking Dead and include a major time jump to see her lead the group.
The Walking Dead returns Sunday, February 25 on AMC.
Who knows? Maybe it’s a character that hasn’t been introduced yet. Maybe it’ll be Judith, who knows.”
