Everything in Rick's plan to take down The Saviors has led to this: a showdown at The Sanctuary to ensure surrender and the end of Negan. But as viewers of the latest episode know, there's one big twist that Rick didn't see coming, and we have a look at photos and preview videos for the 90-minute The Walking Dead mid-season 8 finale, "How It's Gotta Be."
The Walking Dead Episode 8.08 – "How It's Gotta Be": "Every story and battle from the first half of the season comes crashing together in this action-packed, emotional Mid-Season finale."
"Time for After" premieres on Sunday, December 10th at 9:00pm ET on AMC. Keep an eye out for more updates on the new season of The Walking Dead right here on Daily Dead, and check here for our previous season 8 coverage of the AMC series.
Season 8 synopsis: "Last season, Rick Grimes and his group of survivors were confronted with their deadliest challenge yet. With the comfort of Alexandria, they let their guard down, only to be reminded how brutal the world they live in can be.
Feeling powerless under Negan's rules and demands, Rick advocated the group play along. But seeing that Negan couldn't be reasoned with, Rick began rallying together other communities affected by the Saviors. And with the support of the Hilltop and Kingdom, they finally have enough fire power to contest the Saviors.
This season, Rick brings "All Out War" to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless -- but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.
Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it's not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom -- Negan and the Saviors' grip on this world may finally be coming to an end."
