‘Talking Dead’ finale spoilers: Norman Reedus, Robert Kirkman, Scott M. Gimple joining Chris Hardwick

It is certainly fair to say that tonight’s new episode of “The Walking Dead” is going to be a huge one, given that it is not only the season 6 finale, but the introduction of perhaps the most-noteworthy villain to hit the show since The Governor in Negan. He’s deadly, he’s charismatic, and he is played by an awesome actor in Jeffrey Dean Morgan. It’s definitely clear that there is quite a bit to look forward to from this character.

As for the finale of “Talking Dead” (or at least the final one following the flagship series until we get around to the fall, most likely), there is also quite a bit to look forward to. It’s been well-known for some time that showrunner Scott M. Gimple would be present alongside executive producer / comic creator Robert Kirkman, but let’s go ahead and throw Norman Reedus into the mix, as well! The Daryl Dixon actor certainly is seeing his character in a precarious position entering this episode.

Will Reedus be the only guest? We have a hard time believing so, but we’ll have to wait until the show airs to know for sure.

For those of you who really can’t get enough all things zombie TV, rest assured that Chris Hardwick will continue to host “Talking Dead” throughout the upcoming second season of “Fear the Walking Dead,” which is going to premiere in just one week’s time. We’re sure that the ratings probably won’t be equal to what they are right now, but that shouldn’t really have any impact on the overall quality.
