In a recent Television Critics Association panel, Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira, who will be reprising their roles as Rick and Michonne in The Walking Dead spinoff series, revealed an interesting tidbit about their preparation for their characters' romance. It turns out that they binge-watched the popular Netflix series Bridgerton as part of their homework. Showrunner Scott M. Gimple shared this fun detail during The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live premiere in Los Angeles.
According to Gimple, it was Gurira who suggested watching Bridgerton to prepare for their on-screen love story. The showrunner mentioned that Gurira assigned them some Bridgerton-related homework. Lincoln and Gimple followed Gurira's instructions and dove into the world of Bridgerton, taking cues from the series to shape their characters' relationship in The Walking Dead spinoff.
