Chandler Riggs, the actor best known for playing Carl Grimes in The Walking Dead, has revealed that he is a huge fan of Dead by Daylight. In a recent cameo video, Riggs shared that he has logged over 500 hours in the game and has reached Rank 1 multiple times, proving his dedication to the asymmetrical horror title.
However, the most exciting part of his message was a direct request to Behaviour Interactive, the developers of Dead by Daylight. Riggs publicly urged the studio to introduce Rick Grimes as a survivor in the game, with Carl Grimes as a legendary skin, allowing players to step into the shoes of one of The Walking Dead’s most iconic duos.
Carl Grimes HIMSELF is a massive Dead By Daylight fan and not only does he want Rick Grimes as a survivor but also wants Carl to be part of the game as well and has a very special message for @MCote_BHVR @DeviusQC @DEATHDORKS @MrPope @DeadbyDaylight pic.twitter.com/XgOnIF9lJF

Who Are Rick and Carl Grimes?
In The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes is the main protagonist for much of the series. Played by Andrew Lincoln, Rick is a former sheriff’s deputy who wakes up from a coma to discover that the world has been overrun by zombies, referred to as “walkers.” He quickly becomes the leader of a group of survivors, fighting against both the undead and dangerous human enemies in a desperate bid for survival.
Carl Grimes, Rick’s son, grows up in the apocalypse, becoming one of the most complex and tragic characters in the series. Played by Chandler Riggs, Carl evolves from a scared child into a hardened survivor. His journey is marked by intense losses and battles, making him one of the most memorable characters in The Walking Dead universe.
What is The Walking Dead?
The Walking Dead is a post-apocalyptic horror franchise based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman. The TV adaptation, which aired from 2010 to 2022, became one of the most popular zombie dramas of all time. It follows a group of survivors as they navigate a world ravaged by a zombie outbreak, encountering dangerous factions, scarce resources, and moral dilemmas along the way.
The franchise has expanded beyond the main series, spawning multiple spin-off shows, video games, and comics, cementing its place as a cultural phenomenon.
Could Rick and Carl Grimes Come to Dead by Daylight?
With Dead by Daylight already featuring crossovers with iconic horror franchises like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Alien, Stranger Things, and Chucky, adding characters from The Walking Dead doesn’t seem impossible. The game has already collaborated with AMC’s The Walking Dead: Destinies, introducing skins for some of the show’s most famous characters.
If Behaviour Interactive listens to Chandler Riggs’ request, fans could soon be playing as Rick Grimes, with the option to use a legendary Carl Grimes skin. This addition would not only excite The Walking Dead community but also strengthen Dead by Daylight’s status as the ultimate horror crossover game.
