AceShowbiz - Jeffrey Dean Morgan hinted "The Walking Dead"'s upcoming "special" episode could be more like a mini-movie, after production on season 10 of the show was axed due to the coronavirus crisis.
Nothing has been filmed for the new series as yet, and now there's a "special" episode planned for later in the year - which Jeffrey told Entertainment Weekly could be more like a one-off feature.
"It will be cool having a one off, almost a Walking Dead movie in the middle of the season, I guess," he mused. "So we're excited about that aspect of it."
He added that the season finale has to have "some sort of a resolution… whether that carries over to next season, I'll leave that open, because who knows?."
"But we know (Jeffrey's character Negan is) coming to wipe everybody out with his zombie horde so hopefully we'll see that come to a head at some point," he continued. "There has to be some sort of battle. Greg Nicotero directed it, so it’s going to be a big massive episode for sure."
Jeffrey and wife Hilarie Burton are working on their own talk show while in lockdown together. The weekly half-hour Friday Night In with the Morgans airs Fridays at 10 pm in the U.S.
