Things Remain Tense When “The Walking Dead” Returns
The last we saw of AMC’s “The Walking Dead“, Abraham, Sasha, and Daryl were stopped on the road by a group of motorcycle riding thugs who demanded their weapons, all in the name of Negan. This cliffhanger mid-season finale introduced us to a character that is known from the comics for being incredibly ruthless, vicious, and uncompromising, which obviously makes a lot of fans super excited to see him in action!
Today, AMC has released the first four minutes of the show’s return and it starts off precisely where we left off. However, this time we’re seeing what happens next and, I’ve gotta be honest, it doesn’t look too good for a couple of the characters. You can watch it for yourself on AMC’s website or right down below.
I’ve gotta tell you, the guy who is playing the baddie in this scene is absolutely fantastic. He uses his body, expressions, and minor genuflections to really add emphasis and “oomph” to his lines, creating a charming yet incredibly unsettling character.
“The Walking Dead” returns to AMC this Sunday, February 14th. Happy Valentine’s Day!

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
