The stunt community and loved ones of Walking Dead performer John Bernecker endured a tragic loss over the weekend, as an on-set accident hospitalized the stuntman and led to his death. The series naturally shut down production on the eighth season, but has since (temporarily) resumed.

The Walking Dead isn’t generally known for practical stunts, but with Season 8 gearing up for “All Out War,” it stands to reason physical action would increase. As such, the unfortunate hospitalization of stuntman John Bernecker has necessitated Season 8 production take a temporary hiatus.

Seven years in, The Walking Dead was bound to conflict with fan-favorites taking other work. AMC’s horror smash usually takes precedence, but according to recent reports, at least three Walking Dead favorites will have reduced roles in Season 8.

Preacher left off with a promise that Season 2 would spotlight the comic road trip to find God, so it’s only fitting our first clip picks up on “Day One.” Ride shotgun with Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy in the new sneak peek, and maybe don a pair of headphones for this one.

We’re now eight seasons into The Walking Dead, and three into companion series Fear The Walking Dead, so there’s no pretending the world is fighting back. An extended new featurette for the latter’s June premiere cements as much, also revealing exactly what became of Madison, Travis, Nick, Strand and Alicia since Season 2.

The first season of AMC’s Preacher essentially blew itself up to start over, but boy, if Season 2 doesn’t just look fun. Well, minus the whole immortal-cowboy-killing-machine thing. See for yourself why both Preacher and Mickey look so fine with a new trailer!

AMC’s Preacher is going to be a very different show when Season 2 premieres in June, and it deserves key art to match. See for yourself, as Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy are all looking “powerful AF” in some colorful new promotion for the comic drama’s return.

The Walking Dead is no stranger to death, whether on AMC or the page, though it’s always a big deal to lose one of the original survivors. The latest moved creator Robert Kirkman to draft a long apology to fans, and could spell bad news for the character’s AMC counterpart down the line.

The Walking Dead hiatus may last longer than expected, but at least Fear The Walking Dead will deliver a complete zombie fix with Season 3. To wit, our June premiere has its first full promo trailer, teasing hard times for the extended Clark family, not to mention Strand.

It’s tough to say whether The Walking Dead is set in its ways, or might surprise us in Season 8’s “All Out War.” Either way, at least one notable tweak is in order, as showrunner Scott Gimple says Season 8 will address a long-running fan complaint over the series’ pacing.
