The Real Reason Chandler Riggs Left The Walking Dead

Looper | September 16, 2025



It’s one thing watching your favorite “Walking Dead” character bite the dust… and it’s a whole ‘nother thing saying goodbye to your own on-screen character. Sadly, that’s the fate that befell Chandler Riggs — but what caused the Grimes boy to get killed off so unceremoniously?

    In an alternate universe Chandler Riggs is a good enough actor where they can pay him what he wants and kill off Rick to follow the story line of the comics.

    Ppl who say glenn needed to survive? Bro its accurate to the comics and even if u didnt want it to be accurate if he lived maggie would not be the “widow” and wouldn’t be able to help defeat negan, but carl?? THAT WAS JUST A FUMBLE cause he was supposed to be one of the main characters! Even if he lived they could’ve given another reason for them to reason with negan cause carl was one of the most badass characters in the comics like HELL he survived everything and was old in the comics

    I quietly dismissed myself from a house party I was hosting to hole up and watch the premiere of The Walking Dead. Ive watched everything Walking Dead related until this very day. Don't care about the politics. Im a fan. And I watch all that is given and have ZERO complaints about any of it 🙏

    IMO Half way through season 7 is where the change happened and anyone who hasnt seen The walking dead should stop watching there. What changed, hard to say, something behind the scenes.

    The show died when fans bemoaned Glenn's death and how brutal it was. AMC made a business decision and refused to kill off any major character afterwards and also yoned down the violence.

    Yeah no I ain't buying that reason for killing off Carl. There are other ways to give Rick a reason to keep Negan around.

    Also it was absolutely stupid how Rick left the show not long after Carl. It would have been amazing if Carl had taken the leadership role after Rick's departure.

    A character gets popular on a show and the actor think's they are oscar material, leaves to go on to other acting job's only to find out they aren't as skilled as they thought they were and realize they properly should of never left the original acting job in the first place. It
