The Walking Dead community received quite a shock yesterday.
The show's star, Andrew Lincoln announced he's leaving the series in the upcoming ninth season.
Co-star Norman Reedus will become the star of the show.
Reedus is getting a massive pay increase, somewhere in the realm of $20 million.
While that contract certainly seems to be in the works, it's nowhere near a done deal just yet.
The Walking Dead will return for its ninth season in the fall.
