The Walking Dead’s much-anticipated midseason premiere is directed by executive producer/special effects wizard/go-to major episode director Greg Nicotero.
Nicotero compared the episode to another he directed, “What Happened and What’s Going On,” the Season 5 midseason premiere built around the death of Tyreese (Chad L. Coleman).
But the big moment that’s coming in the Season 8 midseason premiere — the death of Carl (Chandler Riggs) — is the one that made the gore guru cry.
