What's more, spin-off show Fear the Walking Dead was also delayed, meaning fans had no new content to sink their teeth into.

As such, the team behind the series have been doing their best to keep fans updated on production from their social media accounts.

The latest whipped their followers into a frenzy as they seemed to hint that Rick Grimes actor Andrew Lincoln could be reunited with some of the currenty stars on screen.

The account shared a picture of Lincoln on set with Lydia actress Cassady McClincy and Kelly (Angel Theory).

"REALLY wishing we could have gotten scenes with Lydia, Kelly, and Rick," the tweet began.

It didn't take long for fans to cling onto the "some day" at the end of the tweet and inquire about what directors and writers had planned.

"So you saying Rick [is] returning after the movies? if so i would be hyped to see him return to the show if thats the case," one hopeful fan wrote.

A second echoed: "Might we get Rick back to the show before it ends?"

Meanwhile a third chimed in: "How funny would it be if we got more scenes from Rick, Daryl & Connie we all know Rick be teasin the hell out of Daryl tho hehe [sic]."

There were plenty of other like-minded messages, but the official account opted not to respond to any of them.
