"The Walking Dead" actor Norman Reedus is opening a restaurant in Chattanooga next year.

Nic & Norman's will be coming to downtown in the spring, according to a video posted by the restaurant on Facebook earlier this week. This will be the restaurant's second location; the first is in Senoia, Georgia.

In the announcement, Greg Nicotero - a makeup artist on "The Walking Dead" and Reedus' business partner - said the duo wanted to seek out an iconic, historic area to open a new location.

"We're really really excited about it," he says in the video. "Anybody who knows about Chattanooga and the Choo Choo and like the whole historic area, that's right where the restaurant is going to be."

Reedus plays Daryl Dixon on the AMC hit show, which has announced it will be back for an 11th season.
