It’s almost here, folks.
Following last week’s penultimate episode, the sure to be thrilling conclusion to The Walking Dead‘s eighth season is now only a few days away. The finale, titled “Wrath,” is set to bring about the end of the “All-Out War” between Rick Grimes and his allies and the Saviors that’s raged on for some time now. And these new sneak peeks promise that it’ll go out with one heck of a climactic battle.
First though, for those who haven’t been keeping up, the official synopsis for the episode teases the following:
The communities join forces in the last stand against the Saviors as all-out war unfolds.
What most fans are no doubt excited to see here is the conclusion to the “All-Out War” arc – which formed the backbone of season 8 – wrapping up the threat of Negan and his Saviors, who’ve been lording over the survivors since season 6. Andrew Lincoln has already promised that it will be “epic,” “very emotional” and will deliver a “smorgasbord” of different storylines with an “unusual structure.” Excited yet?
One thing we do know about the episode is the location of where the final conflict between the allied communities and the Saviors will take place. Instead of the showdown happening at Alexandria or the Hilltop or the Sanctuary, everything will come to a head in a wide open field, setting the scene for a grand, old-fashioned battle. Lincoln teased that it will create a “phenomenal” climax, too, which we can’t wait to see.
Be sure to catch the season 8 finale of The Walking Dead when it airs on AMC this Sunday, April 15th.
