Rick Grimes and Negan to continue sparring in 'The Walking Dead' season 9: Showrunner Angela Kang

Even though they are behind bars - Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) will still fight in the upcoming season of 'The Walking Dead', showrunner Angela Kang revealed. There's a prison wall between them but that doesn't stop them and, in spite of his new look, it doesn't seem like Grimes has changed his ways. "We talked about it in the writer's room, just this idea of, when a war ends — and then you have people who are soldiers in the war, generals — what happens when there’s no real transition? Because it’s an apocalypse," Kang said during 'The Walking Dead Nine' preview special.
