Pilot walking dead

There's a common perception that AMC's Fear the Walking Dead is about to undergo an extensive creative overhaul — and while that's true, the notion overshadows the fact that much of what's come before is very much still in place, as Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg step into the showrunner seat vacated by co-creator Dave Erickson at the end of season three. "This show constantly reinvents itself," Chambliss tells The Hollywood Reporter, addressing what it is about the original run of Fear that he and Goldberg wanted to keep intact heading into season four, which premieres Sunday after The Walking Dead finale.

[This story contains spoilers through the latest episode of AMC's The Walking Dead, as well as the comic books on which they are based.] The end of the line is almost here. The only question now: will mercy prevail over wrath? OK, it's not the only question, but it's a big one! Since the start of Walking Dead's current eighth season, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) has been seen pondering this very dilemma. At first, viewers weren't clued into the context of Rick's question. Now, the particulars have come into focus: Rick's wrath and mercy both reside beside him underneath a tree, as he's bleeding out at some point in the future — some time after losing his son Carl (Chandler Riggs), sending him into a murderous tailspin. With only one episode left in the vicious season, and with the stage well and truly set for a climactic battle between Rick and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), we're about to find out where Rick lands when it comes to the extent of his bloodlust. But … [Read more...] about ‘Walking Dead’ Season 8 Finale: 7 Predictions for the End of “All-Out War”
