Michonne Departs THE WALKING DEAD after Season 10

According to the fine folks at ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, everybody's favorite dreadlocked badass zombie-smashing ronin Michonne will only appear in a few episodes of The Walking Dead's tenth season this fall, as actress Danai Gurira's career enters its next stage...

With a Black Panther sequel already assured, and Danai's skills as action star and actress revealed to everyone, we are looking forward to seeing her star rise even more in the coming years.
