Second only to his father in the can't-be-killed stakes, there's been talk of Carl taking over whenever they do kill Rick off. And with the show potentially running to Season 12 and beyond, it's not beyond the realms of impossibility, even if it's debatable whether anyone would actually want a show led by Chandler Riggs.
