We talked finale with chief content officer Scott M. Gimple.
Sticking the landing when it comes a series finale is always important.
if you do not want to know how that version of the franchise concludes.

Okay, all good?
Here we go then.
InThe Walking Deadcomic book, Rick Grimes is killed by Sebastian Milton.
Andrew Lincoln on ‘The Walking Dead’.Jackson Lee Davis/AMC
Yes, the same Sebastian Milton thatrecently met his own demiseon the TV series.
(In the comic, Sebastian lives the rest of his life behind bars for his crime.)
“All because someone was strong enough to do what was right.
Staging this exact ending is impossible for the TV version, for a few reasons.
For one thing, the TV version ofCarl was killed off backin season 8.
Rick instead became romantically intwined with Michonne on screen.
So, yeah, quite a few changes.
There’s also the question of TV Rick Grimes still being very much alive.
So how much will the end ofThe Walking Deadshow differ from the original source material?
We posed that very question to chief content officer Scott M. Gimple.
Sooooooo, what say you, Mr. Gimple.
It’s like the same, but different.”
“All of those characters have endings.
It’s a very intense last few episodes.
Up until the finale, it is just full intensity.
The throttle is open.”
