Andrew Lincoln Dropped Out of CREEPSHOW Season 2 Due to COVID-19

Andrew Lincoln and Greg Nicotero worked together for years on The Walking Dead. And so it makes sense that the two were set to reteam for the upcoming second season of Shudder’s hit horror anthology series Creepshow. Lincoln admitted he had “a great part” in the upcoming season that Nicotero was going to direct.

But he had to drop out due to COVID-19.

He tells Collider: “That’s true. It’s really, really true. He did have a great one. And I was thinking about getting on the plane as well, ’cause he’s shooting in Atlanta.”

Thank God he didn’t. Right?

The second season of Creepshow has begun shooting in Atlanta with a cast including Ashley Laurence (Hellraiser) and Keith David (They Live, The Thing).

David and Laurence will star alongside Josh McDermitt (The Walking Dead) in Frank Dietz’s (I Hate Kids) “Pesticide” which follows an exterminator who makes an “infernal bargain.” Then Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect) and Adam Pally (The Mindy Project) star in “Shapeshifters Anonymous” based on a short story by J.A. Konrath (Last Call) about an unlucky soul who finds himself in a werewolf support group.

Then “Model Kid” written by John Esposito (season one’s “Night of the Paw”), is about a 12-year-old monster fan who turns to hand-built model kits to escape his unhappy reality. Additional titles, casting and directors will be announced soon

Executive produced by showrunner Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead), the six-episode second season will premiere on Shudder in 2021. Are you excited? Let us know in the comments below or on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram!
