It looks like Andrew Lincoln is officially done with The Walking Dead Season 9. The actor may have quietly said goodbye to the Atlanta set that he has called home for almost nine years. So does this mean Lincoln has already finished filming Rick Grimes' death scene in the AMC series?

It's no secret that Andrew Lincoln will be leaving after The Walking Dead Season 9. AMC has even started negotiations with Norman Reedus to take over as the lead star of the series. Interestingly, Lincoln and the network have chosen to remain silent about the actor's departure from the show. However, it looks like a new photo of the Love Actually star may have confirmed that he is no longer in Georgia where the series is being filmed.

The Facebook page The Spoiling Dead Fans has just posted a new picture of Andrew Lincoln. The image shows the star of The Walking Dead Season 9 wearing a red baseball cap while standing beside some luggage. The caption confirms that the photo was taken "at Heathrow about 10 hours ago" and that "Andy is now home" in London.

The picture had an immediate impact on The Walking Dead Season 9 fans. People wondered if Andrew Lincoln has already completed work on all six episodes that he is expected to appear in the upcoming season.

There was much concern over the possibility that Rick Grimes' death scene has already been shot, and that there is no chance for the character to return after The Walking Dead Season 9. Nevertheless, there is still a lot to look forward to in the AMC show.

There have been reports that The Punisher Season 2 star Jon Bernthal will be returning in The Walking Dead Season 9. Naturally, people wondered how the series will reintroduce Shane Walsh since the character has already been killed off in the second season. Netizens have come up with a few interesting theories about Bernthal's role being Shane's long-lost twin brother. Catch Andrew Lincoln's final performance as Rick Grimes when The Walking Dead Season 9 airs on AMC in early October.
