The Reason Why Michonne is Leaving The Walking Dead Revealed!

The Reason Why Michonne is Leaving The Walking Dead Revealed!



Gurira is the third longest serving cast member in the series, having been around for six years, shorter only than Norman Reedus (Daryl) and Melissa McBride (Carol). It’s not a huge shock that after seeing her profile explode after roles in Black Panther and Avengers as Okoye that she would probably be moving on to bigger and better things. And now we know exactly what that is, something a tad unexpected.

THR is reporting that Danai Gurira is actually showrunning a new series for HBO Max, WarnerMedia’s upcoming streaming service which combines HBO content and other offerings it owns. The show is Americanah, based on the best-selling book by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and it tells the story of a woman who leaves Nigeria for America.

That woman will be played by none other than Gurira’s Black Panther co-star, Oscar Winner Lupita Nyong’o. Here’s Gurira on the collaboration:

"Through Americanah, Chimamanda brought the African female voice into mainstream consciousness in an unprecedented way," said Gurira. "It is intellectually incisive, indicting, yet full of humor, and riddled with humanity. She makes unheard voices familiar, universal and yet palpably specific. I am honored to bring her incredible novel to life on the screen. I’m thrilled to collaborate once again with Lupita, who brings her astounding ability as a performer and producer shepherding this project, along with HBO Max's unbridled enthusiasm to bring this groundbreaking narrative to the TV audience."


Many Walking Dead fans probably don’t know that in her “spare” time, Danai Gurira is actually a Tony-nominated playwright. That was for Eclipse, a Broadway play she wrote about the Liberian civil war. So the leap from that to showrunner of this new project does not seem as different as it may initially appear, even if most people know her for killing zombies in The Walking Dead or fighting off aliens in Avengers.
It seems possible that Michonne will be written out of the series in a way that doesn’t necessarily kill her off, but allows her to reunite with the Rick Grimes in his planned trilogy of films that explain his disappearance at the hands of the mysterious helicopter people. Many assume she will be abducted, as it’s the only way she could leave the series while her kids, Judith and RJ, stay behind in a way that would make sense. Some are predicting that ironically Negan could end up being Judith’s main parental figure here soon enough.
Anyway, I’m happy to see Gurira getting a big shot like this, and I’m looking forward to seeing what she does with Americanah. And I’m just saying…Fear the Walking Dead could really use a new showrunner so if she ever wants to come back to The Walking Dead…
I've considered Michonnes exit as a sort of sacrifice ? I don't think she finds out about Rick , I think she leaves entirely at last minute . We see alot of oceanside this season - yes they will be helping to fight in the Whisperer War , but Angela Kang also mentioned that elements would play a role this season . - Joshua Binert

So the showrunners of fear the walking dead posted on Twitter to ask them questions and 99 percent of the replies are that the show is garbage and that they should be fired. Trev why do you even bother posting reviews of this garbage? Why not focus on the real walking dead instead? How can you not be super excited for season 10? It's gonna be amazing. - a a

We know how it ends now. The mystery, for me, is gone. We will watch AMC drag a few seasons out. My prediction is a massive dumpster fire when they rin out of source material. 10 yrs is a good run. Few more seasons and hang it up before TWD becomes the Simpson's. - Patriotic 1

Let me know what you guys think and as per usual, thanks for watching!
