It’s Halloween and the highest-selling comics author of the decade, including the biggest horror title in the business, is going to stay in his Brooklyn apartment and watch some movies.

Oh, sure, there may be some friends over, but James Tynion IV is trying to keep it low-key, with 1980s flicks The Monster Squad, Return of the Living Dead, and Re-Animator on the home marquee. The author is still recovering from New York Comic-Con, where he and his eight-person company, Tiny Onion, which is backed by Lyrical Media, had a major presence. He is the rare comic author that has books across all the major publishers save Marvel, almost all creator-owned. There’s also a Substack newsletter. And a fledgling media division that seeks to catapult those books into various mediums.

Tynion made his name writing Batman for DC, striking out on his own while the proverbial iron was hot.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan has a plethora of well-acclaimed roles and projects to his name. But out of the role, he’s most well known for playing Negan in the Walking Dead franchise and Jack Winchester in the horror fantasy drama Supernatural. It was here that he crossed paths with actor Jensen Ackles, who played a huge role in Dean Morgan’s love life.

The actor is currently married to actress Hilarie Burton, and if it weren’t for Ackles and his wife, the duo would have possibly not crossed paths.

‘The Diplomat’ sent fans spiraling with the announcement that its second season was dropping with only 6 episodes, as opposed to the standard 8 episodes its first season enjoyed. It’s been done so many times that it’s now public knowledge that episode drops in a show correlate to budget cuts, but this time round, budget was actually not the issue, timeline was. Here’s what the show’s creator has to say about it.

The Diplomat – Debora Cahn Says Episode Drop Decision Was Not Made By Netflix

It wouldn’t be the first time that Netflix has slashed the episodes of our favorite shows – or worse, cancelled them – but this time, they’re not to blame for ‘The Diplomat’s’ shorter season 2 run. Or maybe they are, indirectly, if you do consider it.

According to the series creator Deborah Cahn, she made the decision to have a shorter script this...

In a first-look and development deal, Fremantle will become the primary home for all of Fudge Park’s upcoming scripted projects.

The news was unveiled Tuesday following the success of BBC Three’s Daddy Issues, starring Aimee Lou Wood (Sex Education) and David Morrissey (The Walking Dead, Sherwood), which debuted on BBC iPlayer in August and has already been green-lit for a second season.

The U.K. indie will work closely with Fremantle’s Global Drama and International Distribution divisions to help develop its drama and comedy slate, with an aim to break ground in new territories. The deal was brokered by Jill Kellie, vp commercial strategy, commercial & international, and Jonathan Blyth, managing director at Fudge Park.

Daryl Dixon’s the heart and grit of The Walking Dead. This grizzled survivor charmed fans for 12 seasons with his badass yet good-hearted persona. Twists in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon shows he’s here to stay, but spoiler alert: his core character’s rock-solid! Through zombie hordes and trust issues, Daryl’s journey reminds us that while the scenery might change, the man remains unchanged. Daryl’s still the same hero we love—no plot twist can alter that!

Daryl Dixon: The Captive Survivor

Daryl’s knack for getting captured is practically a running gag. His latest escapade in Daryl Dixon season 2 saw him fall prey to the soldiers of L’Union after he thwarted one of their sinister ceremonies. The moment he became a prisoner again? Classic Daryl. After a skirmish, he...

After the chaos and heartbreak that ensued last episode, we're happy to see that the plot takes a pause but only momentarily. In The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 episode 5 "Vouloir, C'est Pouvoir", Daryl tries to convince Laurent to come to America but alas their pilot Ash is missing.

While Daryl and Carol search for him, Losang's mission to find Laurent continues, leading to a showdown between himself and Daryl. Will our heroes be able to escape France via Ash's plane?

The episode opens with Daryl, lost in thought and downright heartbroken before he and Carol carry on leaving the broken-down car behind. When the duo slowly makes their way to where Ash had landed the plane, they come to find him missing and the area booby-trapped.

Our collective zombie obsession began long before The Walking Dead premiered (although it certainly helped). In fact, it’s still going strong to this day, with creators bringing new life to stories of the undead. Zombies can serve as metaphors for our broken society or as catalysts for bringing humanity together. Sometimes they’re even kind of funny, in all their bloody, snarling glory. No matter what, zombie stories are always entertaining.

Here, we highlight some zombie TV shows and movies that are worth checking out. These are alternately bleak, hilarious and thrilling watches, meaning there’s a little something for every kind of zombie fan.

“Looks like the future,” Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi) says to Daryl (Norman Reedus) as they drive through Paris in the latest episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon — The Book of Carol, "Vouloir, C'est Pouvoir." After the high emotions and climaxes of Episode 4, we spend much of this episode thinking about the future for the characters who have survived the cull so far.

Having lost the majority of the female cast in the previous two episodes, we return to the surviving menfolk. Codron (Romain Levi), it appears, has survived the war at the Nest and makes his way to Fallou’s (Eriq Ebouaney) camp for refuge, recovery and reparation. Romain Levi conveys a great deal of heart and depth in his performance, which works wonderfully with Laurent’s blank-slate openness, as the pair connect through their shared guilt and faith. Their scenes together are oddly touching, and actually create a...

Against all odds, Daryl Dixon continues its surprising streak of competence with “Vouloir, C’est Pouvoir.” This episode delivers tense action, surprisingly decent writing, and the swagger of a show that’s finally found its footing. Who knew a Daryl-centric spin-off could actually be…good? The episode picks up with Daryl and Carol facing a two-pronged problem. Their […]

AMC's The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon The Book of Carol season 2, like many television shows these days, are short. We're talking 6 episodes, that so far, according to Rotten Tomatoes has a very similar rating compared to season 1.

I guess no matter how enjoyable and well-made The Walking Dead franchise manages to get, there will always be one thing kinda holding it back. There’s no way The Walking Dead universe will ever truly shock or surprise you. I know that’s a strange way to set the stage for what I really mean to say about the penultimate episode of the season 2 of Daryl Dixon. I suppose I just meant for you to keep that in mind before I personally ranked this episode as one the top 10 in the history of the entire franchise. With the season finale a week away, Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol has gone all out both emotionally and narrative-progression-wise. And it’s actually so well written and edited that even though one significant thing is stacked over another throughout the episode, it doesn’t feel like they were in any hurry.

On Sunday October 27 2024, AMC broadcasts The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon!

In 2010, AMC Networks premiered The Walking Dead, an apocalyptic series that aired for 12 years across 11 seasons. Based on the comics created by Robert Kirkman, the series became wildly popular, beyond what anyone could have imagined, and has inspired other series within the genre.

The Walking Dead has been praised for its earliest and final seasons, with mixed reviews for its seventh and eighth seasons. While it is set in an undead apocalypse, the stories revolve around the survivors and their experiences after the outbreak occurred. Many viewers note this is why the series became so popular.

Long-standing cast members for the series include Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Chandler Riggs, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Josh McDermitt, Christian Serratos, Seth Gilliam, Ross Marquand, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Several of these characters' stories have continued in the long line of spinoffs of the main series. Let's check out some...

There is simply no arguing with Frank Darabont: the man who brought us The Shawshank Redemption and The Walking Dead, two of the greatest existentially dramatic pieces of film/television in pop culture history. Nominated for 3 Academy Awards, the filmmaker has been behind some of the best (and some of the worst) films in Hollywood simultaneously.

When it comes to Darabont’s work as a director, Tom Hanks’ 1999 film The Green Mile definitely falls into the “one of the best” category. A stylized tale of magical realism set on death row, this 4 Oscars-nominated movie was a masterclass in acting, directing, and storytelling cobbled together to give the audience an unforgettable experience.

Andrew Lincoln’s The Walking Dead journey wasn’t just about surviving zombies. It was also about making a career move so gutsy, it could’ve left him in the industry’s graveyard. Lincoln, forever etched in our minds as Rick Grimes, took a brave step back from the show at the peak of its popularity—a decision not many actors would dare consider.

But for Lincoln, the weight of it all was starting to feel like carrying the apocalypse on his back. His major career pivot shocked fans, but honestly? It was a masterstroke that not only saved his sanity but also left us hungry for his return. Let’s dive into how Lincoln turned this undead drama into a career-defining moment.

When it comes to “epic sagas,” horror might not be the genre that first comes to mind. Sure, there are long-lasting franchises like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Saw, and Scream. But in terms of long-form storytelling with world-building and distinct character arcs, the closest to a “saga” would likely be The Walking Dead, with not only its main storyline in both comics and TV, but its many spin-offs as well.

It’s also not always the first genre folks think of when the term “worlds colliding” comes to mind. Of course, there’s your Alien vs. Predator and Freddy vs. Jason—but that’s just it, it’s always two characters opposing one another. Seldom are there team-ups, converging timelines, and characters from vastly different landscapes put in a position to work together in horror; that’s generally saved for your standard superhero fare.

But that’s exactly what happens...

Amy Adams is on the promotional circuit for her new movie, where she thinks she’s a dog. You read that correctly. Nightbitch is a new comedy that initially gave off the impression that Amy Adams plays a mom who may be turning into a werewolf, but the movie actually doesn’t cross into the supernatural as some may expect. Our own Chris Bumbray says in his review, “While horror fans will be disappointed to learn this isn’t the quasi-Amy Adams werewolf movie we all wanted, Nightbitch is still a nice little flick that would make for a great night out at the theatre for new parents. Just expect a heavy conversation on the drive home.”

Variety profiles Adams for her upcoming film and the actress addresses her past projects. She reflects on her time in the Dceu playing Lois Lane opposite Henry Cavill. While Cavill’s exit...

The Jackal was on the loose in London on Tuesday evening. Eddie Redmayne, Lashana Lynch, and Úrsula Corberó, known for her role as Tokyo in Netflix hit Money Heist, were among the stars of the upcoming TV adaptation of The Day of the Jackal for Sky and Peacock who attended the U.K. premiere of the series at Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre in the British capital.

Redmayne plays the famous fictional assassin in the original series based on the Frederick Forsyth novel and award-winning 1973 film adaptation of the same name from Universal Pictures. The star also executive-produced the show.

The series, which recently received a trailer, also features Charles Dance (Game of Thrones, The Crown), Richard Dormer (Fortitude, Game of Thrones), Chukwudi Iwuji (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Split), Lia Williams (The Capture, The Crown), Khalid Abdalla (The Crown, The Kite Runner), Eleanor Matsuura (The Walking Dead,...

In The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon -- The Book of Carol, we've seen Carol (Melissa McBride) travel across the world to Europe to reunite with her best friend and long-time companion Daryl (Norman Reedus). She's flown across the Atlantic with Ash (Manish Dayal), stopping off at Greenland along the way. And upon arriving in France, she's found herself in the midst of a revolution.

Whilst Carol has been ardently trying to locate him, Daryl himself has been in the centre of the conflicts in France. He and Isabelle (Clémence Poésy) have made a little surrogate family along with Laurent (Louis Puech Scigliuzzi), a young boy whom many in the area believe to be the Messiah. Due to their steadfast determination to protect Laurent, both Daryl and Isabelle were put in prison inside Mont Saint-Michel. And just as Daryl breaks out and discovers that Isabelle was sadly lost in battle,...

Accidents happen in Hollywood all the time. Actors slip, marks are set wrong, and what was supposed to be a safe stunt turns into a mishap. The Walking Dead is one of the most successful and adored action shows of all time. Considering this, it is not surprising that there were some unfortunate incidents on the set of the project.

During an interview, Andrew Lincoln revealed an accident that happened on the set of the series that resulted in him punching his co-star in real life. However, he ended up hurting an actor whose character certainly deserved it.

Andrew Lincoln rose to prominence with his performances in several British shows during the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, his biggest claim to fame came in 2010 when he was cast to play the lead role of Rick Grimes in the post-apocalyptic horror series The Walking Dead, based on the comic book series of the same name.

Lincoln starred in the series for nine seasons before exiting as a regular cast member but returned for the finale and a spin-off series focused on his character. In an interview, Lincoln reflected on his earliest days on the series and recalled a hilarious incident where he made co-star Jon Bernthal sweat because of one underdeveloped skill. Here is what Lincoln had to say about scaring Bernthal.

The zombie movie isn't dead, but it certainly feels like its been shuffling on its last legs for the last few years. George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" didn't quite create the zombie movie, but it more or less solidified the ideas and tropes we now associate with it. There were many zombie movies in the years following the 1968 release of "Night of the Living Dead," some of them directed by Romero himself. But at some point, zombie horror became ubiquitous and overdone. If I had to pinpoint the start of this oversaturation, it was probably the combination of Danny Boyle's low-fi zombie flick "28 Days Later" in 2002, Zack Snyder's "Dawn of the Dead" remake and Edgar Wright's comedy "Shaun of the Dead," both released in 2004, and the 2010 premiere of "The Walking Dead." In the wake of these particular titles, it suddenly felt like zombies were everywhere.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon brings on the tears, justice, and baffling decision-making in season 2 episode 4, "La Paradis Pour Toi". As The Nest and Genet battle, Daryl and Carol finally reunite but alas the reunion is less than stellar, and Laurent is missing. Who will survive by the end of the episode? There's a lot to discuss, so let's begin!

After a full season and change apart, Walking Dead heroes Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Carol Pelletier (Melissa McBride) have finally reunited — and it’s perfectly timed, as one of the other most important people in Daryl’s life has just departed.

The fourth episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol features the long-awaited reunion between the two title characters, in the thick of the season’s biggest action scene yet. The safe haven known as the Nest is under attack, with France’s dictatorial leader Genet (Anne Charrier) leading the charge. The chaos allows Carol to slip in (albeit, not unnoticed), and fight her way through mobs of walkers to find the person she’s been looking for all season long.

The reunion itself plays out in the midst of a hallway fight, with Daryl finally joining the battle,...

If you’ve ever wanted to see zombies storm a castle, “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol” just made that dream come true with “La Paradis Pour Toi.” The fourth episode of “Daryl Dixon’s” second season also brought about a long-awaited moment for fans of “The Walking Dead”: Daryl and Carol’s first reunion since their lakeside farewell at the end of the mothership series.

Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride’s pairing consists of two of the very few characters still surviving from the first season of “The Walking Dead,” and their unshakeable friendship has become an emotional backbone of the franchise in the near-15 years since it launched. Naturally, their reunion was as sweet and emotional as you would hope for two best friends who have been through it all — though,...

During New York Comic-Con, The Walking Dead showed off the franchise's next installment, Dead City season 2. First airing in 2023, Dead City was the first Walking Dead spinoff to follow the conclusion of the main show. It follows Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) as they explore a post-apocalyptic Manhattan in search of Maggie's kidnapped son, Hershel.

The debut season of Dead City garnered fantastic reviews; we called it the franchise's best spinoff at the time! So naturally, AMC promptly green-lit the series for another season. By the end of season 1, Maggie had reunited with Hershel after tricking Negan into assisting her, delivering him right into the Dama's hands. Now, Negan has been handed power to do what he does best: keep everyone in Manhattan in order. And yes, it seems he's remade Lucille, his infamous barbed wire bat! Check out the trailer below:

When the original series The Walking Dead finally came to a close, fans were distraught. This led to a series of spinoff shows, some as good, and some not so good.

However, one spinoff show revealed two of the fans’ favorite characters, the good Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and the not-so-good Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). The latter spinoff is coming back for a second season, so let’s find out what fans can expect,

Exclusive: Sky and the executive producer of Britannia have been slapped with a £6.5M ($8.5M) lawsuit in the UK by a writer who claims the fantasy Roman Empire series was stolen.

Britannia ran for three seasons on Sky before Deadline revealed its cancelation in 2023. Starring The Walking Dead actor David Morrissey as a military leader who spearheads the Roman invasion of Britannia, the drama aired on Amazon Prime Video and later Epix in the U.S.

Benjamin Crushcov, a writer and teacher, has alleged in a High Court lawsuit that Sky and other defendants misappropriated his idea and original script for Britannia, and then conspired to cover-up the drama’s true origins.

James Richardson, co-founder of Britannia producer Vertigo Films, is named as a defendant. The third defendant is Karen Hyland, a journalist who Crushcov accuses of taking a copy of his work and handing it to Richardson.

Beta Cinema, Constantin Film, Zeitsprung Pictures and UFA Fiction have unveiled the first look photo of “The Physician II,” the sequel to the hit historical epic.

The original film, released in 2013, sold to over 60 territories and became an international box-office hit. In Germany alone, the film earned $42 million at the box office, with 3.6 million admissions.

“The Physician” director Philipp Stölzl once again brings together a stellar ensemble of international stars and rising talents: Tom Payne reprises his role as the passionate physician Rob Cole and shares the screen with Emily Cox (“The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die”), Aidan Gillen, Áine Rose Daly, Owen Teale, and Liam Cunningham.

The shoot took place from August to October 2024 in Hungary, Cologne and Berlin. Constantin Film is releasing the film in German cinemas on Dec. 25, 2025, and Beta Cinema is handling international sales, presenting first materials at the upcoming American Film Market.

She never had a prayer. Sunday’s heartbreaking episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon killed Sister Isabelle, who we’d really thought marked a new beginning for our gruff hero. Instead, it turned out that she was but another unhappy ending.

Picking up where “L’Invisible” left off, Isabelle stood her ground with Losang, rightly arguing that he hadn’t hurried up the ceremony because he’d feared that his people were losing faith, he himself had feared losing control. Her eyes had been opened to the evils of false prophets like him, so the first chance she got,...

The world of The Walking Dead continues in the form of multiple new spinoffs that have placed the focus on some of the original show's most beloved characters. The credits rolled on that original series back in 2022, but there were still stories to tell; stories that came to life in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, The Walking Dead: Dead City, and The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.

The latter of those shows brought back Rick Grimes and Michonne earlier this year, and Dead City's Maggie and Negan will return for their second season next year. Daryl and Carol, however, they returned to screens just a few weeks ago for the second season of Daryl Dixon, subtitled The Book of Carol, which has aimed to reunite the titular pair.

But the Twd Universe isn't afraid to kill off a character or two even in the midst of something as heartwarming as a reunion.

This article from the HBO and Max miniseries The Penguin Season 1 Episode 5 contains significant spoilers.

The new HBO and Max miniseries event The Penguin finally drops the facade and reveals the games the main characters have been playing on each other. Everything is out in the open now. Sofia brutally (and cleverly) murdered her entire family for a fresh start, and Oz has been exposed for playing both sides—the Falcones and the Maronis.

The Penguin season 1, episode 5, titled “Homecoming,” written by Breannah Gibson (The Walking Dead) and Shaye Ogbonna (Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist) and directed by Helen Shaver (Westworld), examines the dueling characters of Oz Cobb and Sofia Falcone, who have reached a boiling point.

“One thing’s for sure, we’re not in Ohio anymore,” Carol (Melissa McBride) says in “Le Paradis Pour Toi,” the fourth episode of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon — The Book of Carol. It feels like a timely Wizard of Oz reference, as Carol and Daryl (Norman Reedus) finally reunite in this episode, and the result feels like Dorothy moving from the black-and-white of Kansas to the full Technicolor of Oz. Their interactions bring a spark to the show that illustrates why fans like these two characters interacting, and why they were given a spinoff in the first place. Though the irony is, this shift appears to be the end of Daryl’s fairytale ride, not the start.

I’d be lying if I said that the antagonists weren’t one of the major reasons I stuck around and finished The Walking Dead. Considering I still very much remember The Governor and Negan’s menace, the franchise has always been quite adept at writing antagonists whose dark aura would linger long after the show ended. And as far as that legacy is concerned, I’d say that Daryl Dixon has done the flagship show proud. A whole different geopolitical landscape demanded unique motives for those standing in the way of Daryl, Carol, Isabelle, and Laurent fulfilling their purposes. And while Genet and Losang are far less bold than the complete psychopaths that terrorized people in the mother series, being caught between the two sides in the 4th episode of Daryl Dixon season 2 made for a pretty terrible experience for the good guys.

When the Walking Dead spin-off The Walking Dead: Dead City (check out our review Here) had its premiere last June, it became the biggest cable drama debut of the year, drawing in 683,000 viewers as it aired on AMC, with viewers of the simulcasts on BBC America and IFC, plus replays, boosting the number of viewers to 1.12 million. So it’s no surprise that we’re getting The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2, with it now getting an official Spring 2025 launch, which was announced this weekend at Nycc.

Running for over a decade, The Walking Dead became one of the most popular shows, featuring captivating and heart-wrenching storylines set in a post-apocalyptic world. Andrew Lincoln, who played the series protagonist Rick Grimes and recently reprised his role in The Ones Who Live, reflected on what he believes marked a point of no return for the show.

Season 7 of the show starts with a brutal ending to one of the key characters in the story, Glenn, portrayed by Steven Yeun. And Lincoln believes that the scene went a bit too far, marking a turning point from which the show would never fully recover.

AMC’s popular post-apocalyptic series “The Walking Dead: Dead City” will return for its second season in spring 2025. Show executives unveiled a first look at the new season during a panel at New York Comic Con on Friday.

The panel featured lead actors Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Lauren Cohan, who play Negan and Maggie. They shared the stage with co-stars Gaius Charles, Željko Ivanek, and Dascha Polanco. Scott M. Gimple, chief of content for The Walking Dead universe, also attended.

A 30-second teaser trailer introduced viewers to the new season. It showed Maggie and Negan on opposing sides of a growing power struggle in Manhattan. Negan declared ominously “Power is power.” Scenes of landmarks like Radio City operating with electricity highlighted the theme of restoring control.

According to AMC, Season 2 will find Maggie and Negan caught in a war for Manhattan’s leadership. As their paths cross, escaping the conflict becomes more complex.

Although George A. Romero didn’t pioneer the concept of the zombie movie, he undoubtedly perfected it, especially with Dawn of the Dead. Ever since its success, this particular subgenre of horror has been hacked, slashed, killed, and resurrected from its grave for the big as well as the small screen. But how many of these attempts were truly refreshing? Shaun of the Dead is a personal favorite of mine as it used the zombie apocalypse to trigger a man’s maturity. The use of found footage filmmaking to cover a zombie outbreak never got better than Rec. Setting up a romance between a human and a zombie in Warm Bodies was pretty unique. Humans fighting zombies inside a train in Train to Busan was excellent. I can’t speak to the quality of the film, but I think Pride and Prejudice and Zombies deserves a shout out because it...

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ended its second season, well over a year ago, by leaving the fate of the Enterprise, its crew, and numerous others in danger thanks to the Gorn. With war possible, if the Enterprise interferes with the Gorn's attempt to claim innocent lives as their own, the episode comes to an end. Driving fans wild knowing they'd have to wait at least a year to find out what happens next.

The old "to be continued". A timeless trope done to spice things up and guarantee fans come back for the next episode. It does work, famously, but it can also backfire, spectacularly. Look at The Walking Dead, they shot themselves in the foot because of such a concept. Yet, they're the outlier. There were issues with the show's pacing for seasons prior to their debacle of a cliffhanger.

Strange New Worlds isn't likely to fall into that pit.

Superman director James Gunn revealed the first look at Krypto the Superdog yesterday, but some fans have already criticized his breed. While Krypto is typically depicted as a white Labrador Retriever, he has appeared as many different breeds over the years. Not exactly the most consistent pup. For the film, Gunn chose to model Krypto after his own dog, Ozu.

In response to Gunn’s reveal of Krypto on Threads, one fan said, “Not to be ‘that guy,’ but isn’t Krypto supposed to be something akin to a Labrador or something similar?” Gunn replied, “No. Krypto is historically a generic white dog, sometimes also a lab, white shepherd, husky, or Dalmatian. But obviously he’s an alien so he wouldn’t necessarily be exactly any one of these things.“
