The following contains spoilers for 308
On The Walking Dead: Dead City, after Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) shot his two walker friends in a recent episode, Dillard (Jimmi Simpson) completely broke, slicing his own face open and blaming Negan. He only continued to spiral further as he killed Renata (Aimee Garcia) in last week’s episode. In the season finale, which airs tonight on AMC and AMC+, Dillard takes over the community and launches a deadly manhunt for his former friend.
Simpson recently spoke with SciFi Vision about Dillard’s surprising turn in Dead City, his relationship with the walkers, and the emotional fallout of Negan’s actions. Simpson explained that he did not play Dillard’s kindness as a mask, but as a real need for connection that had been broken by humanity. He also discussed Dillard’s final fight with Negan, becoming a walker, working with the actors playing Cockenspiel and Titicaca, and filming the light-hearted karaoke scene earlier in the season with Aimee Garcia.
The Walking Dead: Dead City is available to stream on AMC+.
