With AMC’s Living Dead returning this weekend to AMC + subscribers and scheduled for its official cable debut next Sunday, February 28, the network wastes no time warning viewers that this six-episode mini-season wastes no time getting to the heart of the drama. In the opening minutes following the 17th episode “Home Sweet Home”, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) has returned and now she is about to come face to face with the last person she wanted to see (especially alive): Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) And we think it’s safe to say that Judith (Cailey Fleming) expression speaks for all of us:
Here is a preview of the return of Living Dead– currently on AMC + and debuting on AMC next Sunday, February 28:
Here’s your take on The Walking Dead season 10C
Some of the new faces joining the cast of Living Dead include Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Perry Mason, Scorpion) such as May, Hilarie Burton Morgan (One Tree Hill, White Collar, Friday Night In with Morgan) like Lucille, Okea Eme-Akwari (Greenland, Cobra Kai), and C. Thomas Howell (The Outsiders, The Hitcher) reprising his role as a resident of Hilltop’s 9th season. The six new episodes will open on Sunday, February 28, at 9 pm ET / 8 pm CT, followed by a new episode of Dead Speakers every week.
Last time on The Walking Dead, we witnessed the fall of Alpha (Samantha Morton) and the end of the War of Whispers. The kingdom had fallen, the hilltop was virtually destroyed, and Alexandria abandoned to prepare for the final battle. Our survivors were arrested and separated from each other. However, when faced with an almost certain death, they came together to fight, killing Beta (Ryan Hurst) and eliminating the horde’s threat.
In these six new episodes, we find our survivors trying to get up by their boots after the destruction that the Whisperers left in their wake. The years of struggle weigh on them as past traumas surface, exposing their most vulnerable sides. When questioning the state of humanity, the state of their collective community and the state of their minds, will they find the inner strength to persevere with their lives, friendships and group intact?
EPISODE 1017 – “Lar Doce Lar”: Maggie (Lauren Cohan) came back with a story she’s not ready to share, even when her past hits her. Negan’s (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) security is at stake again. Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Maggie fight an invisible and unknown threat. Director: David Boyd / Writers: Kevin Deiboldt AND Corey Reed.
EPISODE 1018 – “Find me”: An adventure for Daryl and Carol (Melissa McBride) turns on its side when faced with an old hut. This takes Daryl back to the years when he left the group after Rick disappeared, while he relives a time when only the apocalypse could manifest itself. Director: David Boyd / Writer: Nicole Mirante-Matthews.
EPISODE 1019 – “One More”: Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) and Aaron (Ross Marquand) look for food and supplies to bring back to Alexandria. Small tragedies lead to major tragedies, as faith is broken and optimism is fragmented when subjected to the final test. Director: Laura Belsey / Writers: Erik Mountain AND Jim Barnes.
EPISODE 1020 – “Sliver”: Eugene (Josh McDermitt), Ezekiel (Khary Payton), Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura), and princess (Paola Lázaro) are captured and separated. Princess struggles with memories of her traumatic past and tries to escape in one way or another with the help of Ezequiel. Director: Laura Belsey / Writers: Julia Ruchman AND Vivian Tse.
EPISODE 1021 – “Diverged”: Daryl and Carol arrive at a fork in the road and follow separate paths. Each entering its own type of survival mode, the easier of the challenges becomes much more difficult. Will your individual journeys be the turning point needed to mend your friendship, or is the distance between them permanent? Director: David Boyd / Writer: Heather Bellson.
EPISODE 1022 – “Here is Negan”: Carol takes Negan on a trip, hoping to minimize the growing tension. Negan reflects on the events that led him to this point and comes to a conclusion about his future. Director: Laura Belsey / Writer: David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick.
