On November 20th, AMC’s The Walking Dead concluded its final season as the last episode aired.
The episode titled “Rest in Peace” premiered on both AMC Network and AMC+ at the same time so everyone can enjoy it at the same time. That is not the only thing that the brand did. On the same day, the finale event took place.
The finale event started with a red carpet event as the cast from the main show arrived. Of the cast, I caught up with Norman Reedus, Christian Serratos, Seth Gilliam, Cailey, Fleming, Cassady McClincy, Michael James Shaw, Paola Lazaro, Josh Hamilton, Nadine Marissa, Josh McDermitt, Khary Payton, and more to talk about the final episode. The cast also shared their favorite memories while being on The Walking Dead and their thoughts about the franchise in general.
That did not end there as fans got to see the final episode at The Orpheon Theater in Los Angeles and a live edition of Talking Dead. There were also statues, fan artwork from a contest, and key memorabilia that was on display all thorough the theater. AMC went out of their way to bring The Walking Dead family together for one final time at this event before the spinoffs premieres next year.
At a different location, I attended the after party which was not for the public. It was a great time with the most food I’ve seen at a private party in a long time. There was also a pool that was shaped like a casket, which was fitting for The Walking Dead.
Overall, this was a great experience. The Walking Dead fans left home happy!
