Jan. 21 (UPI) -- Actor Chandler Riggs announced Monday he has booked his first television role since his character Carl was killed off of The Walking Dead in 2018.

"Four days ago I was almost unemployed for a full year," Riggs tweeted. "Right now I'm sitting on the set of Season 1 of an incredible TV show for my first day of work. Life changes really drastically really quickly."

The 19-year-old actor offered no details about the character he will be playing or in what type of show he will appear.

Riggs began his role of Carl as a young child when The Walking Dead premiered in 2010.

The dying character shot himself in the head before he could turn into a zombie in the beginning of Season 8 after he was bitten in the side by a walker.

The second half of Season 9 of The Walking Dead is set to debut on Feb. 10.
