TheWalkingDead showrunner Angela Kang promises tears are coming in the series finale: 'It’s a highly emotional episode. It’s a ride. For the audience, there will be tears, and the tears will come for different reasons for different characters.'
The Walking Dead showrunner promises the series finale will be emotional for “different reasons for different characters.” After 12 years and 11 seasons, AMC’s zombie apocalypse drama is finally wrapping up its television run. Everything is now set up for this weekend’s highly-anticipated series finale, which promises a final confrontation between the show’s heroes and its final big bad, Commonwealth dictator Pamela Milton.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY It of course remains to be seen what unexpected and perhaps fan-angering twists and turns The Walking Dead will offer up in its final-ever episode. But showrunner Angela Kang promises that things will indeed get emotional, while teasing various characters meeting various different fates - all resulting in fans being reduced to tears.
“It’s a highly emotional episode. It’s a ride. For the audience, there will be tears, and the tears will come for different reasons for different characters. But we really felt that at the core of this, there’s horror in this world. There’s obviously action and adventure. But the reason people follow these people is because there is heart, there is a chosen family, there’s something about their will to make it past the worst circumstances that is inspiring.
But though it seems likely that tragedy is in the offing for some TWD characters, there’s still a chance that the show could end on an overall upbeat note. As Kang herself said, there will be different reasons for the tears fans are about to shed over their favorite characters. That seemingly indicates joyful tears could be in the offing as some characters get happier endings than others.
It does indeed seem that after so many years delivering zombie-apocalypse soap opera, The Walking Dead would want to end on at least a somewhat hopeful note rather than leave audiences with some horrible nihilistic finale that only makes them feel bad. The best ending for the heroes would of course be the defeat of Milton, an outcome that would allow the good people of the Commonwealth to rally together and remake the community in the spirit of justice.
