The Walking Dead has given us its fair share of reunions in the past few years: Michonne found her way back to Rick; Daryl met up with Carol once more; heck, even Negan has his mitts on a new Lucille.
So, what of the horror franchise's big bromance? The Walking Dead boss Scott M. Gimple isn't ruling out Rick and Daryl sharing the same space once more.
"Absolutely still a hope," Gimple told Brandon Davis on YouTube.
"It's very challenging for a variety of reasons, which have everything to do with 2026 [style of] production. But things change very quickly."
Gimple even admitted he has prepared several (unnamed) possibilities for where The Walking Dead might go next.
He said, "I've drawn up all sorts of forking paths, [these] kinds of plans. It might be a minute, it might be tomorrow, I might be off at the retirement home. But I think eventually we'll get there. There's enough stuff to handle – source material, emotional, plot-wise, everything – that we could do something brilliant."
One stumbling block may involve Daryl's actor Norman Reedus. Upon the conclusion of filming the fourth season of the standalone Daryl Dixon show, he penned what felt like a definitive farewell to the character.
"It’s been such a joy for me to play this guy with all of [you] for this long. I feel really blessed. Truly," Reedus wrote.
Elsewhere, The Walking Dead story continues with Dead City season 3, starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan, which premieres on July 26.
