During an interview on EW Radio, Reedus revealed he and Lincoln “made a pact” to leave The Walking Dead at the same time. “I think it was like season three of four,” he said. “We’re like, ‘If you leave, I leave. Right?’ And that was the thing.” When Lincoln, who was sitting next to him, jokingly asked if viewers should expect to see the last of Daryl Dixon in season nine, Reedus replied, “Oh, hell no.” He then got emotional talking about working with Lincoln.
