It has recently been announced by AMC that "close, personal friend and fellow actor" Norman Reedus will have a new show premiering in 2016. An avid motorcyclist, Reedus's new show will have him riding about the country doing stuff and seeing things with various guest riders tagging along for fun and adventure. I can think of no better riding buddy than the person Reedus referred to as "Snake Plissken" when first we met on the set of The Walking Dead, lo these many months ago.
After all, I have all the credentials:
Actor on TWD? check
Cool bike? check
Cross country riding history? check
Eyepatch? check
Gifted writer and maker-upper of stories? check
Seriously, the show sounds pretty darn cool. Not since Ewan McGregor did his Long Way 'Round series has a serious and successful actor and avid cyclist done a good riding / touring show. It's about time.
(But seriously, put me in coach. I'm ready to roll.)
Norman Reedus gets his own AMC show
”Ride with Norman Reedus” will showcase motorcycle culture
Get ready to swoon, TWD-heads—AMC is about to have a lot more Norman Reedus on the lineup. The network announced in a press release today that it has greenlit six episodes of Ride with Norman Reedus, an hour-long reality series that will feature The Walking Dead’s heartthrob traveling to different cities on bike and exploring motorcycle culture. Reedus, an ardent bike enthusiast, will be “[stopping] at various locales such as custom bike shops, tattoo parlors, collector’s warehouses, or a roadside smokehouse.” He’ll also have a different travel buddy joining him in every episode, so let’s all cross our fingers for an Atlanta installment where he teams up with Andrew Lincoln. (They could get matching zombie tattoos!)
This isn’t Reedus’s first foray into side projects—in 2013 he released a photography book, The Sun’s Coming Up . . . Like a Big Bald Head. Let’s just hope the new show doesn’t affect his TWD gig, or else the show’s producers will need to brace for riots.
