The Walking Dead finale episodes behind the scenes look with Show Me More
By Renee Hansen
Hosted by Clarke Wolfe, the Show Me More series is an amazing look behind the scenes of the series that make up The Walking Dead universe. This episode (below) highlights the series' final episodes, which concluded the storyline in November 2022.
The final eight episodes of The Walking Dead featured many highlights of episodes past that were, fittingly, narrated by Judith (Cailey Fleming).
Showrunner Angela Kang talks about the subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle nods to previous scenes in earlier episodes. The video offers some tremendous parallel scene comparisons, including Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) on his knees in front of the Commonwealth firing squad to Rick (Andrew Lincoln) on their knees in front of Negan.
Executive Producer Denise Huth's favorite is when Judith is in the hospital waking up after being shot, which is directly reminiscent of her father doing the same in season 1. Then Daryl (Norman Reedus) blocks the door with the gurney, just as Shane (Jon Bernthal) did for Rick.
Several actors, including Reedus, Lauren Cohan, Melissa McBride, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, share their thoughts regarding their time on the series.
Show Me More also highlights some of the most amazing stunt sequences in the final season. These include Daryl's motorcycle slide into the Commonwealth trooper and Negan's car chase with the CW.
SFX guru Greg Nictotero talks about the walkers and some of the most iconic. Over the years, the walkers needed to evolve and become more deteriorated, which the SFX crew did in an amazingly believable way. He also discusses directing the final episode.
Another scene that the series looks at is that of Judith being shot. This was one scene that brought people to the edge of their seats, believing Judith would die as her brother did. There is also an amazing reel of funny takes and bloopers from the final season.
Of course they had to discuss the death or Rosita (Christan Serratos) and that coda scene that brought back Rick and Michonne.
It is difficult to believe that The Walking Dead is over after the series was part of our lives for so long. Thankfully, we have several spinoffs to expand and continue the stories featuring many of our favorite characters.
