“The Walking Dead” Season 8 Finale Promised to Be “Epic” and “Probably a Little TOO Big”
Bold claims, as the latest season of AMC’s zombie series comes to a close.
There are just two episodes left in the eighth season of “The Walking Dead,“ with the season finale airing on Sunday, April 15. We can expect that the finale will wrap up the “all-out war” that’s been raging on for quite a while now, bringing an end to the Rick vs. Negan storyline in a way that promises to be both satisfying and complete.
Speaking with EW, star Andrew Lincoln teased the epic finale.
“I would say this is a smorgasbord,” Lincoln told the site. “I think you’ve got everything in this one. It’s quite an unusual structure, but it’s very emotional, I hope, because that’s what I felt [while filming]. It’s epic. It does feel like it completes something. But it also does feel that it offers a lot of interesting story arcs for the future, which is quite unusual.
He continued, “The location we shot [the final battle between Rick and Negan] at was phenomenal and unusual. I hope that it’s going to look on screen as good as it felt when we were shooting there.”
Similarly, current showrunner Scott M. Gimple recently told EW that the finale is “very big… probably currently a little too big.” He added, “It was pretty amazing the scope of some of the things that we got to do.”
Netflix announced today that the fan-favorite series “Devil May Cry” has been renewed for a third and final season following the recent debut of season two.
Created by “Castlevania” showrunner Adi Shankar, the animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game introduces a world where sinister forces seek to open a portal between the human and demon realms.
Caught in the middle is orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire Dante, unaware that the fate of the balance falls to him.
Across its two seasons, the series has appeared on the Netflix Global Top 10 for four weeks, with season one accumulating 21.7M views in 2025, and season two already off to a strong start, accumulating 6.4M views in just two weeks. All of which to say that the rapid renewal for the third and final season doesn’t come as a surprise.
“For those of you who have been paying attention to the episode names, I have been showing you the structure the entire time. This was always Dante’s Divine Comedy with guns and a red coat. Season 1 was Inferno. Season 2 was Purgatorio. Season 3 will be Paradiso. These three seasons make up ‘The Force Edge Saga.‘ Since its inception, ‘The Force Edge Saga‘ was designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series,” Shankar said of the announcement.
The voice cast for “Devil May Cry” Season 2 is led by Johnny Yong Bosch (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”) as Dante, Robbie Daymond (“Critical Role”) as Vergil, and Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween) as Lady.
Daniel Kurland wrote in his second season review for BD, “Winning chemistry between Dante and Vergil, as well as a narrative that isn’t afraid to put other characters in the spotlight, helps this season overcome some of the past season’s hurdles. This is a tight, economical season that doesn’t overstay its welcome, but part of the charm and impact is weakened the second time around. “
Created by Hideki Kamiya, the first Devil May Cry game was released in 2001. There are now five main games in addition to several reboots, spin-offs, special editions, and mobile games.
Catch up on the first two seasons now streaming on Netflix.
