This week’s Walking Dead universe news (April 8, 2022)

Let’s look at what has been going on in The Walking Dead world this week and what will come this weekend. AMC will air the next episode of The Walking Dead on Sunday, April 10, at 9 p.m. This will be the last midseason finale ever for the series titled “Acts of God.” This episode was written by Nicole Mirante-Matthews and directed by Catriona McKenzie.

This episode will see Maggie, Lydia, Elijah, Marco, and others as they prepare to defend Hilltop and the Riverbend survivors against Lance Hornsby and his Commonwealth troopers. Last week we saw the return of Leah, and this week, Hornsby hires her for a job.

Don’t miss the premiere of the Fear The Walking Dead digital spinoff, Fear the Walking Dead: Dead in the Water. This webisode will only be available via AMC+ and will take viewers back to the eve of the outbreak aboard the USS Pennsylvania.
