Much of “The Walking Dead” is filmed in Senoia, a small town 35 miles southwest of Atlanta. It has helped fuel the film industry in Georgia, which has boomed in the past decade. “Atlanta was not a place I knew, and over the last decade, it’s become the new hub of the industry,” said Andrew Lincoln who stars as sheriff’s Deputy Rick Grimes on the series.

Andrew Lincoln will no longer evade the arc of a knife, a bullet or a bloody baseball bat wrapped with razor wire on the Georgia set where AMC’s “The Walking Dead” is filmed.

The show’s ninth season, which premiered Sunday night, will be the last for his character, sheriff’s Deputy Rick Grimes, and Lincoln has wrapped his last scene.

Now he’s hoping to direct an episode of the show, so he’s “shadowing” one of the directors during filming near the small town of Senoia.
