In news that seems like a perfect metaphor for a zombie show, AMC has teased that it’s working on a plan to keep The Walking Dead going—in one form or another—forever. That comes from Bloomberg, which says AMC is talking with “several large media companies” about plans to keep The Walking Dead brand alive for “another…
It first hit me during A Quiet Place, as John Krasinski and Emily Blunt’s fictional kids quietly played a board game by firelight on a reclaimed wood table, a vertical garden growing out of planters on the wall. I had noticed earlier how nicely Krasinski stayed dressed in the film’s post-apocalypse, in unfussy but…

After eight years of shooting zombies, shooting people, and finding ever-new ways of shouting “Cahrull!”, Andrew Lincoln is finally getting ready to leave The Walking Dead. But while there’s already been a lot of talk about how the loss of its acting anchor is likely to affect the long-running AMC series, we’ve all…
Welcome to Development Hell, the fiery pit into which we fling recent developments in casting, distribution, and everything else that’s new and mildly interesting in the Boschian phantasmagoria of the entertainment industry.
Welcome back to Trailer Happy Hour, where not all trailers are created equal. But even if not every promo or teaser—especially for TV—has the clout to make it at Comic-Con’s big Hall H, we still love them all, and pledge to gather them together in one safe place for you to conveniently devour. (That metaphor got away…
AMC’s struggles to figure out what to do with its various Chris Hardwick-branded properties took another little step forward today, with Deadline reporting that Yvette Nicole Brown—who previously agreed to step in to handle Hardwick’s upcoming Comic-Con duties in the wake of implied allegations of abuse made in a Medium post
AMC has a minor problem on its hands with its upcoming season of The Walking Dead, with the much-publicized news that star Andrew Lincoln is leaving the series after nine seasons threatening to completely overtake any other stories the show might want to tell. (Like, has anyone ever asked if man is the real monster…

The final season of Parks And Recreation jumped a few years into the future, setting up some wacky running jokes about everyone’s absurdly high-tech hologram phones, and now AMC has confirmed that The Walking Dead is going to take a similar path for its upcoming ninth season. It won’t be giving everyone crazy phones,…
According to TVLine, Jon Bernthal is set to return to The Walking Dead as Shane Walsh during the show’s ninth season, an announcement that’s complicated somewhat by the fact that Shane has been dead since the end of the show’s second season. He came back as a zombie and everything, died again as a zombie, and then he…
After eight seasons as cable TV’s unchallenged master of grizzled, bearded zombie slaying, Andrew Lincoln might be getting ready to hang up his big shiny gun and mostly-okay American accent at last.

Well, it took a very long time to get here, but now we know the cause of Rick’s tears from that flash-forward we saw way back in the season, when our former sheriff was seen sobbing under a tree: It’s because he and the rest of his people are the luckiest dummies ever to walk the face of the earth.
Everyone’s the hero of their own story. In Negan’s mind, he’s the strong personality needed to unite people in desperate times, regardless of his measures. Simon sees himself as the pragmatic tough guy willing to do the things others, including Negan, won’t. And Dwight—well, maybe he’s more the tragic martyr type.
People behave in unexpected ways when they’re grieving. If you’re Jadis, you capture Negan and tie him to a cart you can wheel around the dumpster by a chain. And if you’re Rick, you promise to let scared Saviors return with you to Hilltop, get them to free you and save your life, then shoot them all in the back.
