The Black Panther stars’ project has received a straight-to-series order at HBO Max. The forthcoming streaming service has given the limited series a 10-episode order. 

“Americanah has sparked a cultural phenomenon and is revered by fans around the world. It has affected me deeply as one of the most moving, socially relevant and romantic stories of our time,” said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content at HBO Max. “With exceptional talent like Lupita and Danai in front of and behind the camera, this series will give viewers a uniquely heartfelt and unforgettable experience.”

Penning the adaption is Gurira. She will also take on show-running for the very first time. Nyong’o is set to star in what will be her first role in an American TV series and both will executive produce.

Americanah joins HBO Max’s roster of scripted originals that also includes a Gossip Girl reboot, The Flight Attendant, Tokyo Vice, and Love Life.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Gurira who stars as Michonne in AMC’s The Walking Dead will depart the zombie drama in Season 10. 

According to the outlet, Gurira who joined the series in season three has signed a deal to return for her final season of the hit drama. Apparently, the star will return in a limited capacity, that is a handful of episodes throughout Season 10. 

In regards to rumors that her contact was up before Season 9 debuted, Gurira told Entertainment Weekly, “Well, I’m going to keep that one to myself. But what I do know is that we are a very close-knit family, and we love each other, we love this experience, and we all will have our own narratives about how, and where, and when [we want to leave]. But the thing we enjoy is that it’s an incredible time we are able to have and been able to have with each other.”

Let’s start with the bad news. Everyone’s favorite sheriff, Rick Grimes, will bow out during season 9, actor Andrew Lincoln has confirmed.

“This will be my last season,” Lincoln said, bidding an emotional farewell at Comic Con.

“I love this show, it means everything to me. I love the people who make this show–I promise not to cry, I’ve done enough crying on screen–I am also deeply fond of the people who watch this show, you people. This has been the most extraordinary, amazing, and beautiful experience of my career made largely because of you guys.”

But he promised to go out with a bang! “My relationship with Mr. Grimes is far from over … There are two episodes [this season] that are my favorite episodes since the pilot,” Lincoln told fans.

Much like the comics, season 9 will begin with a time jump, though unlike the comics it won’t be as considerable (a few months to the comic’s assumed 2 years jump). The world is falling into decay as we draw further and further away from the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse, and Rick and the gang have to deal with this changing reality.

There’ll also be some new characters, including a new big bad: Alpha, played by Samantha Morton, who leads a new intriguing group called The Whisperers. What kind of threat they pose to our intrepid group of survivors remains to be seen (unless you read the comics, and then you already know).
