In Robert Kirkman’s original comics, Dwight (Austin Amelio), originally a trusted ally of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), is shot by Rick Grimes when he tries to revolt over the Commonwealth.
However, the television adaptation has never been entirely faithful to the graphic novels’ original vision, and Dwight’s death in the television series has yet to occur.
Some fans have speculated that morally conflicted characters such as Carol (Melissa McBride) or Alden (Callan McAuliffe) could take the place of Dwight in the show.
Some fans took to the discussion forums on Reddit to present their theories for how the upcoming season will go down.
