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.”
