Is Michael Cudlitz’s Abraham Ford about to receive a new lease of life via AMC’s planned Walking Dead crossover?
Following the long-requested announcement that The Walking Dead and Fear The Walking Dead will cross paths further down the line, Cudlitz posted two very cryptic, and potentially huge Tweets to fuel the speculation. First spotted by the folks at Cinema Blend, you’ll be able to find each Tweet down below, though fair warning: they’re about as vague as they come. With that in mind, chalk this up as unfounded speculation for now, particularly when you consider that Abraham originally bit the bullet in season 7’s unforgettable opener, “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be.” At the hands of Negan, no less.
There are certain logistics to consider, of course; Fear The Walking Dead solely takes place on the Pacific Coast, and without any planes or long-distance travel options available,...

Seven years and 99 episodes later and the stakes have never felt higher on The Walking Dead, which is an achievement in and of itself given how most majors TV shows tend to coast along on recycled ideas and shoddy storytelling in their twilight years.
Granted, The Walking Dead is not without its faults, and that’s something series producer and director Greg Nicotero discussed at New York Comic Con last weekend (via Polygon).
Nicotero, who has been tasked with directing season 8’s super-sized opener, “Mercy,” admitted that everyone involved made a conscious effort to up their game in anticipation for The Walking Dead‘s latest instalment, which is likely a reaction to season 7’s lukewarm reception. With the exception of April’s finale and that bloody premiere, “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be,” not an awful lot happened during the show’s seventh season. However that may be,...

It's not often that a TV drama series gets to celebrate its 100th episode, especially when the show in question has lost some momentum in the past few years. Fortunately, The Walking Dead doesn't lose sight of this major milestone and of its past mistakes in its stylish season eight premiere, which feels like a return to form. It's intense, action-packed, and heart-warming in all of the right places. Most importantly, it puts Rick Grimes back in the captain's chair where he will hopefully stay.

The Walking Dead community may be itching for new content, but the prolonged wait for season 8 (October 22nd) is a breeze compared to the nail-biting and at times torturous interval leading up to the show’s seventh season.
That pent-up tension gripped the Internet all throughout the summer, before Negan executed his victims in the most grisly way imaginable at the tail-end of season 7’s opener, “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be.” Fast forward 12 months, and The Walking Dead fans are now looking forward to an “all out war” between Rick Grimes and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s deranged villain.
It’s a power struggle that has been bubbling beneath the surface for weeks – months, even – but with Alexandria, the Hilltop and the Kingdom by his side, Andrew Lincoln’s fearless leader is now prepped and ready to take the fight to Negan. That conflict will seemingly ensure...

First introduced as Negan’s unhinged right-hand man, Ogg played a crucial in setting up season 7’s memorable opener, “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be.”
And that’s something the actor touched base on while chatting to ComicBook.com. When asked specifically about his experience filming the season 7 premiere, Ogg recalled the long, exhausting days spent on set, not to mention the heightened emotion lingering in the air.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan is a force to be reckoned with.
He’s a sadist, an unhinged psychopath, and a calculating leader; but he’s also one of the more compelling villains that The Walking Dead has seen in years. First introduced at the tail-end of season 6, Negan arguably hit his stride during the somewhat contentious “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be,” when he lined up Rick and his ragtag crew before brutally executing Glenn and Abraham.
It was a heartbreaking moment for Twd fans around the world, but it might not necessarily be the end of those two aforementioned characters. We’ve already heard that Steven Yeun, who played Glenn, would be open to a return in the future and now Michael Cudlitz, who portrayed Abraham, has said the same.

You weren’t the only one left reeling after the credits rolled on The Walking Dead season 7’s premiere, “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be.”
As Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) recalled on the show’s recent Blu-ray release (via ComicBook.com), filming scenes that involved the deaths of big-name characters – namely Glenn and Abraham, in this instance – “sucked,” and though his on-screen maniac relished the experience of lining up Rick and his ragtag group of survivors, Morgan admitted, “I hated doing that.”
He wasn’t the only one, either. Speaking as part of Twd‘s poignant In Memoriam featurette, Andrew Lincoln went on to remember “two dear, dear friends” and essentially bid farewell to Steven Yeun and Michael Cudlitz’s respective characters.

The brutal death of Glenn Rhee at the hands of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) had a ripple effect on both The Walking Dead and its impassioned following.
Steven Yeun’s fan-favorite, who was introduced as Rick’s first true ally all those years ago on the ravaged streets of Atlanta, bit the bullet in the season 7 premiere, “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be,” and it’s fair to say that Glenn’s absence has left a fairly sizeable hole in The Walking Dead family.
But don’t fret; as Lauren Cohan revealed to ComicBook.com, Glenn’s legacy will still be felt in the upcoming season 8 and beyond, as her Maggie Rhee prepares to raise their fatherless child amidst a dark and dangerous world teeming with Walkers and vengeful humans. Not only that, but Glenn and Maggie’s baby will be informed by the heroic stories of Hershel,...

With news that Fear The Walking Dead season 3 continues on September 10th, ComicBook.com is reporting that its next of kin, The Walking Dead, may return a little later than expected.
Traditionally, AMC’s flesh-munching flagship begins its new season in the second week of October, before going on hiatus midway through December. Following a two-month break, The Walking Dead then returns in time for February, when AMC rolls out the remaining eight episodes to satiate wanting fans.
The Walking Dead season 7 was really the exception to the rule. Late last year, the network ensured viewers were left on tenterhooks by unveiling a “Journey So Far” special in the weeks leading up to “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be,” which pulled in a staggering 17 million viewers on October 23rd, 2016.

Glenn Rhee is a name that will live long in the memory of The Walking Dead‘s impassioned fanbase, even if the actor who played him believes Rick’s right-hand man “never got his fair due.”
Steven Yeun’s six-year spell on the AMC juggernaut came to a grisly end when his Glenn was left at the mercy of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his nightmarish weapon of choice, Lucille. That fateful scene took place during the season 7 premiere, “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be,” and ever since, ardent fans of The Walking Dead have been wondering if Glenn will ever make a return in some shape or form.
It’s unlikely, of course, but even if the creative minds behind AMC carved out a means for Glenn Rhee to return – either via flashback or some unorthodox dream sequence – Steven Yeun may think twice about reprising his role on The Walking Dead.

Veteran hits like “The Walking Dead” and “Empire” may be experiencing ratings declines, but make no mistake: Negan and Cookie are still monsters.
All 16 of “The Walking Dead” episodes that aired in 2016 made it on to the list of the most-watched telecasts of 2016 among adults 18-49 (the demographic still preferred by advertisers). No other TV show can boast that stat. “The Big Bang Theory” landed 14 episodes on the list, while “Empire” had 10 and “Game of Thrones” had three.
Sports telecasts dominated the list – no surprise, given some of this year’s thrilling championship series. As always, the Super Bowl was by far the most-watched program of the year in all of TV, as Denver’s win over Carolina – quarterback Peyton Manning’s finale – averaged 112,576,000 total viewers.

Last Week’S Review: The Saviors Take Center Stage in ‘The Cell’
Whose Episode Is It?
We’re back at Alexandria, so there are plenty of familiar faces, with some focus given to Michonne, Rosita, and Spencer. But the star of the show, of course, is Rick. You’ll recall that Negan’s goal in “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be” was to break Rick and ensure his obedience. As the Saviors’ “business relationship” with Alexandria begins, Negan is there to personally confirm that Rick is truly broken. It’s about as fun and exciting as it sounds.
Man Is the True Monster
I’ve made it clear that Negan’s smarmy shtick doesn’t work for me, and his arrival at the beginning of “Service” is almost self-parody. He walks up to Alexandria’s gate whistling a jaunty tune, then immediately sings, “Dun dun dun duuun!

A good-sized portion of The Walking Dead's American audience just endured a punishing week, with a presidential election that was unusually stressful – and, for many, deeply depressing. So what does the show do? It runs a full 20 minutes longer than usual, to allow viewers to spend more time with Negan, a controlling bully who takes pleasure in breaking people's spirits. (Draw your own conclusions.) Sometimes television makes great comfort food, easing the disappointments and tragedies of the real world. This week's Twd was more like a horse pill. It was bitter medicine,...

Heartstone and Norwegian film-makers win big in Lübeck; Austerlitz takes home Golden Dove at Leipzig.
Lübeck’s 58th Nordic Film Days (Nov 2-6) has become the latest successful stop for Icelandic filmmaker Gudmundur Arnar Gudmundsson’s Heartstone after premiering in the Venice Days in September and picking up three awards at Warsaw Film Festival last month.
Gudmundsson’s debut was awarded the €12,500 Ndr Film Prize by a jury including Swedish actress Inger Nilsson (who played the title role of Pippi Longstocking in the classic children’s films when she was nine years old), Munich-based producer Jörg Bundschuh (The Fencer) and film director Marc Brummund (Sanctuary), for a “feature film of special artistic quality”.

The seventh season premiere of The Walking Dead was hard to watch. No matter how you actually felt about it, it was a slog. Downbeat, emotional, violent, nihilistic... it was every complaint every critic has ever had about the show, put into the same episode at essentially the same time. This isn't a world with a lot of humour or colour, especially not these days, but when The Walking Dead pauses long enough to allow the home viewer to take the world in and crack a smile, it's very effective.

Last Week’S Review: Season 7 Premiere Is the Show At Its Worst
Whose Episode Is It?
No sign of Rick or the rest of what remains of his inner circle this episode. This week we check in on Morgan and Carol, who we last saw being saved by some mysterious men on horseback. But it quickly becomes apparent that that “The Well” belongs to the man introduced in its opening scene: King Ezekiel, leader of The Kingdom.
Yet Another Human Faction
Yes, that means we’re introduced to another mini-society this episode, a particularly idyllic one called The Kingdom. The good news is they’re friendly. The weird news is their leader is a tiger-owning guy with dreadlocks who talks like he’s in “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” “Yeah, he kind of does his own thing…” Morgan offers as way of explanation before Carol is granted an audience.

Though The Walking Dead fanbase had months to brace themselves for the arrival of season 7, the premiere “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be” was no less devastating.
It’s spawned heated debate online as long-time supporters of the series come to terms with those characters that were bumped off in grisly fashion. But few have stopped to ask the question, what about those who survived the harrowing ordeal? Well, according to Norman Reedus, Daryl will be one member of the group to feel the brunt of what transpired, and will seemingly go “very, very dark” in the upcoming weeks.

The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere put viewers' emotions in a blender and hit the "max speed" button, so you can only imagine how intense it was to shoot the blood-splattered episode. To give you glimpses into what it was like on set during those fateful days of shooting, we have behind-the-scenes photos from the making of the season 7 premiere episode.
The Walking Dead Episode 701 – "The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be": "Last season ended with Rick and our group kneeling helplessly before Negan and his group. What Negan does will haunt those who survive forever."
"Up until this point, the survivors have lived through conflicts... Disease, hunger, scores of the undead, tragedy, betrayal, and unthinkable loss. Through this, they've become formidable. Powerful. Unstoppable.
To start Season 7, that power is taken away. They had found safety and stability. They had created a home. They thought the world was theirs.

The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere, “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be,” has generated some intense reactions and fervent discussions from the show’s fans. Some viewers loved the episode, calling it one of The Walking Dead‘s best hours ever, while others deemed it was too sadistic and violent, as they mourn the loss of the two characters that met their ends thanks to Negan and his trusty bat, Lucille. However, one thing that all people can agree on is that this episode was a ratings juggernaut; in fact, The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere drew the show’s second best

Last year, The Walking Dead strained the patience of fans with one ratings gimmick after another. First, there was the incredulous Dumpster incident where Glenn survived (because zombies never go for the face?), then there was Daryl getting shot with his own crossbow. And finally, the coup de grâce, the cliffhanger of “Who did Negan kill?” that gave audiences 202 days to both speculate on the victim’s identity and become desensitized to the inevitability. Things became so dire that HitFix’s own Alan Sepinwall washed his hands of the show completely. Warning: Spoilers From Season 7 Of The Walking Dead Beyond This Point. I was still tentatively on board. The Walking Dead has pulled itself out of bad decisions in the past and after sinking six years into this relationship, I wasn’t willing to walk away just yet. Until after the Season 7 premiere. Now it’s official. I’m breaking up with The Walking Dead.

Sneak Peek footage from "The Walking Dead" Season 7 premiere episode "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be", that took out a few series regulars in a brutal display of 'graphic violence' that the popular 'zombie' series is noted for:
Rip 'Glenn Rhee':
'Glenn' (Steven Yeun) was the boyfriend-turned-husband of 'Maggie', whose parents were Korean immigrants from Michigan.
He was murdered by Negan in both the comic book series by Robert Kirkman as well as in the TV series.
Rip 'Sgt Abraham Ford':
'Abraham', portrayed by Michael Cudlitz traveled the country with his girlfriend 'Rosita Espinosa' to escort 'Dr. Eugene Porter' to Washington D.C. where the supposed cure for the outbreak is located.
He joins up with 'Rick Grimes' group but is eventually murdered by Negan.
Yeun has been on the show since it began in 2010, with Cudlitz joining the cast in its fourth season.

Welcome to the new world on The Walking Dead. The season 7 premiere saw Negan kill not one, but two of the group and then take Rick on a trip as he began making sure the other man knew he was no longer in charge. And when he didn't see the look he wanted to see in his eyes, he decided to change that by giving him an order that was sure to break him.
Here's how Negan broke Rick in "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be."...

7.1 The Day Will Come When You Won't Be
If a character dies in a season premiere, and no one cares, does it make a sound? More importantly, does it make a dent in the hardened heart of a longtime viewer of the show who was turned off by the previous season's cliffhanger? That's a question that I'm asking myself, and that's a question that's going to be running through the minds (and computer screens) of fans of The Walking Dead...

The nightmarish vision of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) swinging his barbed wire baseball bat Lucille back and forth, our band of grizzled heroes spread out before him, on their knees, at his mercy, haunted The Walking Dead fans all summer, and on Sunday the show returned to pay off one of the most intense, divisive, high-stakes television cliffhangers in memory. Who met their untimely demise at the end of Negan’s deathstick?
If the suspense didn’t kill you over these past few months, the season 7 premiere, titled “The Day Will Come When You Won’t Be,” likely finished the job. It’s the most emotionally devastating episode in the series yet, sinking to the lowest levels of despair, degradation and tragedy while also vaulting the show’s larger narrative forward with more momentum than ever.

Hey, So Who Died?
Abraham and Glenn. I know, more guys than you thought, right? Twisteroonie! Remember when there was that big chunk of last season when we thought Glenn died but he was just hiding under a dumpster? They sure tricked us! It’s almost as if the only storytelling trick the show has left is jerking the audience around.
Man Is The True Monster
The plot of this episode, such as it is, is that Negan wants to break Rick and ensure his obedience. Apparently just killing Rick is too easy, or else Negan knows he’s the protagonist of the show. Or maybe Negan’s just a sadist who likes seeing the light of resistance go out in people’s eyes? That seems more likely, since this episode is certainly sadistic. It’s 45 solid minutes of misery, and as good as Andrew Lincoln is in conveying that misery,...

After forcing fans to wait all summer find out who died via the spiked bat of The Walking Dead's new super-villain Negan, the first episode of the new season – "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be" – spent its initial half-hour teasing us some more. The bad guy waved his bloody bat, nicknamed "Lucille," at Rick Grimes. We saw bloody cranial mush on the ground as Negan dragged him into the Alexandrians' Rv. And then, as the show's main hero was asked to reflect on what had just happened...

The slaughter in "The Walking Dead" premiere episode "The Day Will Come When You Won't Be", took out a few series regulars in a brutal display of 'graphic violence' that the popular 'zombie' series is noted for:
Rip 'Glenn Rhee':
Glenn (Steven Yeun) was the boyfriend-turned-husband of 'Maggie', whose parents were Korean immigrants from Michigan.
He was murdered by Negan in both the comic book series by Robert Kirkman as well as in the TV series.
Rip 'Sgt Abraham Ford':
'Abraham', portrayed by Michael Cudlitz traveled the country with his girlfriend 'Rosita Espinosa' to escort 'Dr. Eugene Porter' to Washington D.C. where the supposed cure for the outbreak is located.
He joins up with 'Rick Grimes' group but is eventually murdered by Negan.
Yeun has been on the show since it began in 2010, with Cudlitz joining the cast in its fourth season.
