'The Walking Dead' spoilers: Three returning characters confirmed and more deaths in the pipeline

Showrunner Angela Kang had confirmed his return, however, Scott Wilson passed away shortly after the announcement at the age of 76 owing to complications arising from leukemia. 

'The Walking Dead' star Andrew Lincoln announced in July about him leaving the show after being a part of the series for eight years, but we do not know when that will be or how that will be. All we know is that, as of now, his character Rick Grimes survived another week. We will have to bear with this mystery until it actually happens. 

While Rick's character will make an exit sometime soon, showrunner Angela Kang confirmed at the New York Comic Con 2018 of bringing back former characters to the show. Angela said, "We were trying to lie, but we want to confirm that Jon Bernthal is coming back."
