The Walking Dead: COVID Sidelines Scott M. Gimple's SDCC 2024 Plans

Scott M. Gimple, "The Walking Dead" Universe CCO & EP, confirmed that COVID is keeping him from attending today's panels during SDCC 2024.

Earlier this month, we learned that Norman Reedus (Daryl) and Melissa McBride (Carol)-starring The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) and Lauren Cohan (Maggie)-starring The Walking Dead: Dead City were going to have a big role during this weekend's San Diego Comic-Con 2024 (SDCC 2024). And if you're going to go big, you can't get much bigger than Hall H. Unfortunately, one of the major players won't be able to make it out in person for the four-day pop culture extravaganza. Scott M. Gimple, "The Walking Dead" Universe chief content officer and executive producer, took to social media earlier today to offer some good and bad news. The bad news? Gimple got hit with the coronavirus prior to taking off for SDCC. Understandably, he won't be able to make it out for today's panel. The good news? Gimple reports that he's "grateful to be feeling okay" – the only important part in all of this. Best wishes and healthy vibes are being sent your way!

Here's a look at Gimple's original tweet updating his health status:
