Carl Grimes is a character on The Walking Dead: A New Story, which is presented on Netflix. He is a series regular and the son of the primary protagonist, Rick Grimes. As the series begins 14 months after the start of the zombie apocalypse, he is already battle-hardened, but he still is good at heart, which is shown in his remorse for killing Ben in 1x06. He continues to grow as a character and he is shown to show signs of mortality in the wake of the Something to Fear story ark, some of which he loses after the group's ambush by Negan.

Carl is currently aged 14 in the series, and he has a budding romance with fellow survivor, Sophia.

Season 1

Carl is the battle-hardened son of recently-widowed and unstable Rick Grimes in the series premier "14 Months After". Carl has apparently just witnessed the killing of his mother and his infant sister, Judith, and a few other survivors including Tyreese, Hershel, Billy, Axel, and Patricia. He blames Rick for the deaths, and after Rick passes ourt from sickness, Carl yells at him claiming "You couldn't protect Tyreese, or Axel, or Patricia, or Daryl, or Judy, or Mom!" and he continues to defy his father as he scavenges for more supplies. He is put in a risky situation but he ultimately survives, only to come home to a seemingly dead Rick. However, after Carl cries and ask 'zombie' Rick to just kill him, Rick apparently survives and the two leave and come across fellow survivor Michonne, who appears to previously have a close relationship with Carl. The trio travel and eventual take refuge in a farm along with fellow survivors Glenn, Maggie, Dale, Andrea, Sophia, Billy, Ben, and later on in "Refuge" Abraham Ford, Rosita Espinosa, and Eugene Porter. In "The Marauders" Carl, Michonne, Rick and Abraham encounter a group of bandits who attemp to rape Carl and kill Rick, Abraham and Michonne. They are unsuccessful as Rick saves the rest of his squad, but Carl is still in shock from this. When they return to the group's hideout at the end of the episode, they learn that Ben has killed Billy, so Carl takes it into his own hands in "Fear the Hunters" and he shoots Ben anonymously. At the end of "Extermites" Carl admits to Rick that he killed Ben. After the group reaches the Alexandria safe zone, Carl is entrusting of its inhabitants, especially Spencer Monroe. This is mainly seen in "In and Out".
