They wrote:
“Following a comprehensive assessment by AMC, working with Ivy Kagan Bierman of the firm Loeb & Loeb, who has considerable experience in this area, Chris Hardwick will return to AMC as the host of Talking Dead and Talking with Chris Hardwick. We take these matters very seriously and given the information available to us after a very careful review, including interviews with numerous individuals, we believe returning Chris to work is the appropriate step.”
Interim host Yvette Nicole Brown will helm The Walking Dead season 9 preview special on August 5, while Hardwick will return for the Fear the Walking Dead midseason premiere on August 12.
