The Walking Dead: What can possibly happen next?
What Can Possibly Happen Next: The Future
With Carl gone, the show is taking a major detour from the source material. I haven’t read the comics and that’s by design. I can’t tell you what Carl does for the comics, but I do know he is still alive in the comics and he has played an integral role in the graphic novels.
That said, Carl is about to be gone on the show and there is no longer a future where Rick hands over the reins to his son.
The future is now wide open on the show. What we thought was canon, and characters we thought were untouchable, are now fair game. Anything can happen and the showrunners clearly don’t have a problem going there. They just went there and it’s huge and it will shape the way the show moves forward because it changes a whole lot about what fans of the comics thought was going to happen.
