The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus says he’s “doing better” after suffering a concussion following an accident on the set of the AMC series.
“Thanks for the nice thoughts for a week. or two.” the actor said on Instagram. “I had an accident. but it’s getting better, I’ll be free and I’ll be back at work on Tuesday, they tell me. And sorry about the Atlanta event, I’m looking forward to it pleased.”
Reedus also thanked fans for the well wishes following the death of his cat Eye in the Dark in early March: “First of all thank you for the Eye in the Dark messages, I really loved that little cat.”
The actor was injured on the set of The Walking Dead, delaying filming of the show’s 11th and final season by a few days.
With production on the final season of AMC’s flagship show, Reedus is poised to continue his character’s story in an untitled spin-off show alongside Melissa McBride’s carol. The so-called “Daryl and Carol spinoff” doesn’t yet have a firm debut date beyond 2023, as The Walking Dead season 11 rolls out episodes in three blocks.
The extended final season consists of a total of 24 episodes and aired last August, with the second block airing last February.
