The Walking Dead Season 7 Finale
The Walking Dead season 7 will return on April 2, 2017 with the season 7 finale, titled "The First Day of the Rest of Your Life." You can read a review of the most recent episode here.
Exec producer and season finale director Greg Nicotero talked to EW about the finale, expressing his excitement over the episode's script:
I think it’s one of the best scripts that we’ve ever produced, just in terms of pure character arc. And it really sums up the trajectory of the second half of the season perfectly. A lot of the questions, and a lot of the things that we spent time cultivating over the first half of the season and the second half of the season, definitely come to a head.
Nicotero cited the fact that this finale feels very different to past finales:
Every one of our season openers, and every one of our season finales, they’re different. We had the Terminus capture at the end of season 4, and then we had the Terminus escape at the start of season 5. We had Rick shooting Pete at the end of season 5, and we had the quarry at the start of season 6. Every one of these seasons starts differently and ends differently. We would never want to repeat the same sentiment, the same themes, and I think the writers have done an amazing job on the script.
Here's the synopsis for the finale: "The stakes continue to grow higher as paths cross; the group enacts an intricate plan."
