[Video] Preview This Sunday’s “Three Page Fight Scene” Between Daryl and Beta on “The Walking Dead”
With just four episodes left in the ninth season, heroes and new villains are about to collide in a big way on “The Walking Dead,“ and one of the big selling points for this coming Sunday night’s brand new episode is that Daryl Dixon will be doing battle with Whisperers co-leader Beta (Ryan Hurst), the imposing right-hand-man to the group’s leader, Alpha.
Chatting with Insider, Hurst teased what promises to be a badass sequence.
“The fight between Beta and Daryl is something to look forward to,” he told the site. “Without giving away too much, it’s a three-page fight scene. So it just kinda goes on and on.”
Hurst added, “I can’t really give away too much more, though. Especially the end of this season, the very end of this season…You’ll go, ‘Holy shit’.”
In ‘Chokepoint’…
Daryl’s daring rescue mission forces Alpha to unleash a group of her own to retrieve what belongs to her, even if the price is paid in blood; the Kingdom’s plans to reunite the communities are put in jeopardy.
The new episode airs Sunday night, March 10th.

‘The Shards’ Third Trailer Promises a Summer of Backstabbing and Serial Killing in 1981
The third trailer for creator Ryan Murphy’s “The Shards”, based on the 2023 prep school thriller novel by American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis, laments how hard kids had it in 1981.
To be fair, there’s a serial killer on the loose and a lot of backstabbing in the trailer below.
Look for “The Shards” to premiere on FX and Hulu on August 5 at 6 p.m. PT.
Igby Rigney (“The Fall of the House of Usher”), Homer Gere (“The Agency”), Graham Campbell, Kaia Gerber (Shell), Evan Rachel Wood (“Westworld”), Igby Rigney, Wes Bentley, and Hayes Warner star.
Set in 1981 Los Angeles, the semi-autobiographical, dark coming-of-age tale follows a 17-year-old Ellis during his final year at the elite Buckley prep school. Upending the character’s world is the arrival of a mysterious new student, Robert Mallory, whose unsettling presence coincides with the activities of a serial killer known as The Trawler.
In the series, Rigney will portray Ellis, and Campbell will play Thom. Gere, son of actor Richard Gere, has been cast as Robert Mallory. Frequent Murphy collaborator Max Winkler (“American Horror Story,“ “Grotesquerie”) is attached to direct.
The series is produced by 20th Television in association with Ryan Murphy Television.
