Chris Hardwick will be returning as host of Talking Dead and Talking with Chris Hardwick, IGN has learned.

AMC has issued a statement about reinstating Hardwick following the host's suspension after allegations of abuse from Hardwick's ex-girlfriend , Chloe Dykstra, were published in a Medium post without mentioning Hardwick by name.“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," the statement reads.Hardwick is expected to return to host Talking Dead for Fear the Walking Dead's midseason premiere on August 12. Due to scheduling, we hear that Yvette Nicole Brown will still serve as interim host for The Walking Dead Season 9 Preview Special airing on August 5, and will appear as a guest on the Aug. 12 episode of Talking Dead. Hardwick was replaced as moderator for a number of high-profile panels at San Diego Comic-Con (Brown moderated the panels for The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead), and also serves as host of NBC's The Wall. NBC has yet to comment on Hardwick's status beyond announcing that the network was conducting its own internal review.
