“The Walking Dead” Finale Images Will Excite You and Break You
For the twenty fifth time in the past six years, makeup effects master Greg Nicotero sat in the director’s chair for this Sunday night’s finale of “The Walking Dead,“ wrapping up the eighth season with an episode that promises to be explosive. The all-out war will reach its conclusion in the Season 8 finale, previewed with a fresh batch of images.
The images, which come courtesy of the official “Walking Dead” website, mostly show our heroes both preparing for and engaging in battle as a unified front, but there’s one photo that stands out from the pack. It looks to be a flashback shot of Rick and a young Carl walking hand in hand down the road, presumably before all hell broke lose.
As we learned from Carl’s letter this past Sunday, those walks with his dad meant everything to Carl. And if I continue thinking about this, I may start crying.
On “Wrath,” airing Sunday night, April 15…
The communities join forces in the last stand against the Saviors as all-out war unfolds.
Preview Season 8’s final hour below.

Himesh Patel (Tenet, Don’t Look Up) will star opposite Danielle Deadwyler (The Woman in the Yard) in Ryan Coogler’s reboot of “The X-Files“, which has wrapped filming on the pilot.
Patel confirmed the news in a chat with The Direct, while reiterating that he and Deadwyler play new characters.
“I don’t want to say anything that’s going to get me disappeared. Needless to say, myself and Danielle Deadwyler are playing completely new characters, and we just wrapped on the pilot. If we get to do more… we’ll see where we go from there,” Patel said.
That last sentence is noteworthy, as Patel is reminding that Hulu has only ordered the pilot so far. A full series order has yet to be greenlit.
It’s a good reminder, considering that Hulu also ordered a pilot for the “Buffy: New Sunnydale” reboot that was filmed and delivered earlier this year, only for the streamer to send shockwaves when it opted not to move forward with the series.
As for “The X-Files” pilot, Sinners filmmaker Ryan Coogler writes and directs the pilot. Jennifer Yale (“The Copenhagen Test”) serves as showrunner.
Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler play two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents who form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.
Patel and Deadwyler previously co-starred together on “Station Eleven.”
Other actors who have signed on for guest roles include Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi, Ben Foster, Devery Jacobs, Lochlyn Munro, Tantoo Cardinal, Joel D. Montgrand, and Sofia Grace Clifton.
“The X-Files” originally ran for nine seasons between 1993 and 2002, with two additional seasons arriving in 2016 and 2018. 218 episodes were produced in total, along with two feature films: 1998’s The X-Files: Fight the Future and 2008’s The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
