Steven Yeun and Joana Pak are expanding their family! On Monday, the professional photographer announced that she's expecting her second child by posting an Instagram photo of her growing belly. Along with the snap, Joana included emojis of their family tree. Coincidentally, Dec. 3 also marked the couple's second wedding anniversary.

The former Walking Dead actor tied the knot with Joana in a romantic ceremony at the historic Paramour Estate in La back in December 2016. In March 2017, the pair welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Jude Malcolm Yeun. Congrats to Steven and Joana on their growing family!

Not only do we get to see the full list of Dlc characters for Tekken 7's second season pass, but we also have footage of Negan in action!

Back in August, Bandai-Namco announced the second season of Dlc for Tekken 7. Not only did it show off series mainstays Anna Williams and Lei Wulong, but it made it known that the final spot would go to Negan from The Walking Dead. In this game alone, he would join Street Fighter’s Akuma, Fatal Fury’s Geese Howard, and Final Fantasy Xv’s Noctis Lucis Caelum as guest characters.

We still didn’t know about the other three names in the second season of Dlc. There was also question about what Negan would even look like in the Tekken engine. Now we have our answers.

The next two names have been released and are now available to download. First up is Craig Marduk.

It seems the saga of Rick Grimes must go on.

Late last month, AMC announced plans to spin out a series of TV movies featuring Andrew Lincoln’s grizzled survivor, whose dramatic exit from the core Walking Dead series was enough to leave viewers rooted to the edge of their seats. The ratings haven’t been too kind, either, but that’s a different story entirely.

Looking further afield, and it seems the wheels are in motion when it comes to the planned Rick Grimes spinoff movies – or so says Pollyanna McIntosh. Speaking at Fan Fest San Jose this past weekend (h/t ComicBook.com), the Jadis-slash-Anne actress hinted at the ways in which The Walking Dead movies will continue Rick’s story, all the while incorporating her own survivor into the equation.

We’re going to see where Rick is, so she would be there. Things are in process right now,...

Mom’s night out!

Diane Kruger — who People confirmed earlier this month welcomed her first child with boyfriend Norman Reedus — attended the Pre-Fall 2019 Versace fashion show in New York City on Sunday night.

For the occasion, the Welcome to Marwen actress, 42, wore a brightly colored, mixed-pattern mini dress and matching jacket by the brand. She accessorized with an oversized belt, black stiletto boots and a boxy clutch, a look styled by Micaela Erlanger.

Meanwhile, the Walking Dead star, 49, wore a black turtleneck, and a gray and red plaid suit with combat boots. The new parents didn’t veer away from Pda on the red carpet,...

As Alexandria and the Whisperers prepare for war, a whole new set of brain-eating drama is about to unfold far away overseas.

Weeks after Andrew Lincoln departed the flagship Walking Dead TV series to headline a trilogy of AMC films, comic publishers Skybound announced a new expansion of the franchise that is bringing the zombie universe to China. The story will be told in the form of The Walking Dead: Typhoon, a Skybound Books novel written by Wesley Chu (author of The Lives of Tao and Time Salvager), centering on a group of survivors banding together against a wave of walkers in the ...

To paraphrase what the late Jesus (Tom Payne) once said: Walking Dead fans, your world is about to get a whole lot bigger.

Riverwood Studios, the Georgia-based home to AMC's zombie drama for the past eight seasons, will open its doors to the public for the first time ever with a new series of Walking Dead studio tours, beginning on December 14. The tours, offered on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, will take fans of the franchise through some of the most iconic locations in recent Walking Dead history: Alexandria, the Sanctuary, the Hilltop, the Heaps and Oceanside, to name a ...

Jesus (Tom Payne) is dead — and very soon, other Walking Dead heroes and villains will join him in the graveyard.

Following the shocking season nine midseason finale, The Walking Dead stands at the edge of one of its deadliest stories yet: the Whisperer War. In the comics from Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard, a new group of foes emerges in the form of the Whisperers, survivors who flourish in the apocalypse by wearing suits made from human flesh, allowing them to live among the dead. These terrifying men and women made their official debut in the latest episode, "Evolution,...

Nightflyers is an imperfect but worthy George R.R. Martin adaptation and another win for Syfy.

Books

This is a spoiler-free review.

Let me begin by confessing that I am a huge fan of The Expanse, both the book and the TV series. With that one show, the Syfy Channel raised their profile dramatically among hard science fiction geeks and elevated their programming back to Battlestar Galactica levels. With their newest offering in the genre, Nightflyers, they are poised to do it again. If, that is, the show can achieve enough momentum to break orbit instead of backsliding into the gravity well of schlock.

Before we go any further, we need to be very clear: potential viewers surfing the internet for reviews will hear the inevitable comparison to the 1997 film Event Horizon. It is an easy leap to make, lest we forget that Nightflyers was originally a Locus Award winning novella published in 1980 by George R.

(Spoilers ahead for the season 9 mid-season finale of “The Walking Dead” on AMC)

The excellent first half of season 9 of “The Walking Dead” has come to a close, and it did so with one hell of a bang. We got a climactic showdown in a foggy graveyard in the middle of the night, a major character death and a new foe finally revealing itself.

Those of us who have kept up with the major storylines in the “Walking Dead” comics know exactly what just happened, but those who have not might be a little bit confused as we head into the show’s hiatus. So for the sake of those folks, let’s break down that ending real quick.

To recap the situation: the entire episode sees Daryl (Norman Reedus), Jesus (Tom Payne) and Aaron (Ross Marquand) trying to rescue Eugene (Josh McDermitt) while dodging a herd of zombies that...

Property will comprise local-language stories about how world deals with approaching meteor disaster.

eOne and Robert Kirkman’s Skybound Entertainment are joining forces to produce and distribute 5 Year, a pre-apocalypse drama TV franchise to encompass local-language series made in different territories around the world.

Based on an original idea by Kirkman, creator of the Walking Dead comic book series, 5 Year will focus on how people across the globe cope with news that the world will end in five years due to a meteor rushing towards earth. Each season of the show will cover one year, with local versions following the...

“The Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman’s next apocalyptic tale is taking shape: Kirkman’s Skybound Entertainment and Entertainment One (eOne) have signed an agreement to produce “5 Year,” an international series chronicling the final five years before a fatal meteor ends the Earth.

Per the project’s official description: From an original idea from Robert Kirkman, “5 Year”s different series will focus on how people across the globe choose to live after learning the world will end in the next five years, as a meteor rushes towards Earth. Each year will play out as a season, and while each version will have its own unique characters and stories, they will all follow the same timeline. Each version of “5 Year” will be a localized story set in the markets’ actual location and produced in local languages.

Exclusive: The Walking Dead wrapped up the first half of its ninth season just a couple of days ago, but the man behind the comic that the AMC series is based on has a brand new 5 Year plan.

Robert Kirkman’s Skybound Entertainment has inked an agreement with Entertainment One for the series based on an idea by the Twd Ep of the final five years before a fatal meteor hits the Earth, I’ve learned. The two companies will co-produce and eOne will handle the financing and distribution for 5 Year.

If you think that pre-apocalyptic notion sounds a bit like the David Bowie tune from 1972’s Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars album or even Arthur C. Clarke’s The Hammer of God novel, you’d be right. But unlike those works, Kirkman’s idea has a much more global and simultaneously localized approach within its premise.

ABC’s “Great Christmas Light Fight” perhaps didn’t do “great” in Monday’s season premiere, but it definitely did good. As a matter of fact, the annual series started higher in both ratings (+10 percent) and total viewers (+4 percent) than it did last year, which is a rarity for TV shows these days.

Paired with “The Good Doctor,” ABC finished primetime third among adults 18-49 and second in total viewers. With “The Voice” and its “Manifest” fall finale, NBC topped the evening.

NBC was first in ratings with a 1.4 rating/6 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 8.2 million, according to preliminary numbers. “The Voice” at 8 p.m. earned a 1.6/6 and 9.3 million viewers. At 10, “Manifest” received a 1.1/5 and 6 million viewers.

Spoiler Alert: This post contains details of the Season 9 midseason finale episode of The Walking Dead.

Jesus is dead, Daryl is back, the Whisperers are here (and in killing mode), Alexandra is isolated from all the other communities and The Walking Dead has hit another ratings low with its midseason finale in a Season 9 that has already seen several lows.

While up 8% among adults 18-49 and 6% in overall viewers from last week’s series low “Stradivarius “episode, Sunday’s “Evolution” show was the lowest rated and least watched midseason finale for the AMC zombie apocalypse series ever.

Snagging a 2.0 rating and an audience of 5.1 million, the airing that saw the fatal stabbing of Tom Payne’s character was down a very hard 43% in the demo from the previous midseason finale rock bottom of Season 2. That November 27, 2011 “Pretty Much Dead Already” episode pulled in 6.62 million sets of eyeballs and was the...

“The Walking Dead” has hit a new midseason finale ratings low for the second year in a row.

The episode that aired this Sunday, the midseason finale for the show’s ninth season, averaged a 2.0 rating in adults 18-49 and 5.1 million viewers, according to Nielsen Live+Same Day data. The Season 8 midseason finale was previously the lowest-rated, with that episode having drawn a 3.4 rating and 7.9 million viewers last year. That means this year’s midway point for the show was down a steep 41% in the key demo and 35% in total viewers compared to the same episode last year. This season’s episode is also now not only the lowest-rated midseason finale for the show to date, but also it’s least-watched.

The midseason finale ratings for the show now rank as follows, organized from highest-rated to lowest.

Season 5: 7.6 rating, 14.8 million viewers

Season 6: 7.0 rating, 14 million viewers

Season 4: 6.1 rating,...

“Walking Dead” is walking away from TV for a little while — and perhaps that’s a good thing.

The AMC zombie drama’s Season 9 midseason finale drew 5.1 million total viewers, according to Nielsen. That’s down 35 percent from Season 8’s comparable episode and a new all-time low for a midseason finale.

The overall audience for Sunday’s “Walking Dead” rose 6 percent from the previous episode. It was up 8 percent among adults 18-49, the demographic most coveted by those companies that advertise their products and services on entertainment programming.

Ratings for The Walking Dead bounced back some for the show's fall finale after hitting a series low the previous week.

The AMC series ended the first half of season nine with 5.1 million viewers, a 6 percent improvement on the series-low 4.79 million for the Nov. 18 episode. Sunday's eventful episode, which featured a character death (to the relief of the actor playing the part), was slightly below the season average of 5.25 million viewers.

Just under half of that audience (2.5 million viewers) fell into the 18-49 demographic. That equates to a 2....

(Spoilers ahead for the season 9 mid-season finale of “The Walking Dead” on AMC)

For the entirety of season 9 of “The Walking Dead” so far, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) has been stuck in one spot: his jail cell in Alexandria. We’ve spent some time with him occasionally, as he taunts those who visit him. This week, it’s Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) who bears the brunt of Negan’s heckling.

And it’s Gabriel who seemingly made a big mistake that will change the course of Negan’s future. Late in the episode, after flustering Gabriel with his usual smack talk — Gabriel was not in the mood to deal with him because he was worried about Rosita but couldn’t see her because he was on Negan duty — Gabriel closes the cell and storms off. That night Negan discovers that the cell door is not actually locked.

In Today’s TV News Roundup, AMC announced a new premiere date for the return of “The Walking Dead” season nine and director Patty Jenkins released a new trailer for TNT’s upcoming drama “I Am the Night,” starring Chris Pine.

Dates

AMC announced the return of “The Walking Dead” season nine on Feb. 10 at 9:00 p.m. Et/Pt. In the second half of the ninth season, both old and new survivors are forced to confront events that have taken place during the six-year time jump that occurred during the first half of the season. AMC also teased a new threat, which the network says is unlike anything the survivors have ever seen before. Following the season premiere, the network also revealed that season three of “Ride with Norman Reedus” will air at midnight on the same evening.

A new documentary “Roll With Me” is set to premiere Dec.

The Season 9 mid-season finale for “The Walking Dead” left our heroes — specifically Daryl (Norman Reedus), Michonne (Danai Gurira), Aaron (Ross Marquand), Magna (Nadia Hilker) and Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura) — in a pretty precarious position, as they face off for the very first time against a new threat. The Whisperers are coming, and the good guys have no idea what kind of fight they’re in for.

On the “Talking Dead” aftershow Sunday night, host Chris Hardwick revealed exactly how long you’re gonna have to wait for the second half of Season 9 to kick off. The mid-season premiere for the ninth season of “The Walking Dead” will go down on Feb. 10, 2019. That is, of course, a Sunday night.

The mid-season premiere will air at the same time as usual, at 10 p.m. Et.

In the food hangover of Thanksgiving, the Minnesota Vikings’ 24-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football looks to have put the beloved Wisconsin team’s playoff dreams to rest. While Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins and crew find themselves elevated in the overall Nfc standings, the injury-plagued Packers and Aaron Rodgers need a very big Hail Mary pass to have any hope for the postseason at this point.

Now 12 weeks into the season, the contrast between the teams is in many ways a good Pov on where the NFL finds itself, as year-to-year ratings continue to rise on the NBC’s flagship pro-football show and elsewhere on broadcast and cable. Better matchups and fewer political protests that had put the intrinsically conservative league and its often heavy-handed owners under the spotlight have served everyone well, keeping ad rates in the healthy column for the nets — meaning touchdown happy dances all around.

“Walking Dead” fans finally met the Whisperers on Sunday’s midseason finale — and now the first look at the back half of Season 9 introduces you to their leaders: villains Alpha and Beta.

The 1-minute trailer for the second half of the ninth season of the AMC drama, which will premiere Feb. 10, shows just a quick glimpse at the on-screen versions of the comic book characters, with Alpha’s (Samantha Morton) balding head appearing from behind and far away and a clear full frontal shot of her second in command Beta (Ryan Hurst).

The video isn’t lacking action or pivotal drama, with Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Beta about to face off and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan coming back into the Sanctuary.

The Walking Dead killed off Jesus this Sunday but, like that carpenter’s son in the Good Book, the Tom Payne-portrayed character and others could be resurrected when the AMC series returns on February 10, 2019, showrunner Angela Kang says.

“Because of the expansion of the universe, and because of time jumps we passed seven and a half years off-screen on the show,” the executive producer says of potentially seeing more of Payne’s Jesus, Lauren Cohan’s Maggie and maybe even Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes on Twd, though the latter is unlikely on-screen. “That allows for stories to go back in time, so there’s an opportunity for seeing characters come back because of these things that are built into the story.”

In the Season 9 midseason finale of “The Walking Dead,” fans finally get their first official look at the long-awaited villains, The Whisperers.

But first…

The rescue team consisting of Daryl (Norman Reedus), Jesus (Tom Payne), Aaron (Ross Marquand), and Dog comes across a walker herd that is not moving like a normal walker herd. But the group has no time to worry about the herd’s behavior, as they must find Eugene (Josh McDermitt) before it’s too late.

In Alexandria, Gabriel (Seth Gilliam) sits with Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and tries to instruct him in spirituality. Negan is happy to simply needle Gabriel, particularly about his relationship with Rosita (Christian Serratos). Gabriel eventually leaves in frustration, only to learn that riders from Hilltop have come to report that...

It wouldn't be a Walking Dead midseason finale without a prominent character death, and Season 9 was no exception.

(Spoilers ahead for the season 9 mid-season finale of “The Walking Dead” on AMC)

The first two episodes of “The Walking Dead” after the big multi-year time skip have been relatively low-key — to be expected given Andrew Lincoln’s exit and the need to set up the new status quo in Alexandria and the Hilltop — but they’ve also been setting up the next big storyline on the show via the talking zombies that were/are chasing Eugene (Josh McDermitt) and Rosita (Christian Serratos).

And that plot finally came to a head in Sunday’s mid-season finale, when a whole bunch of our heroes came face to face with these things and discovered that, actually, the talking zombies were not zombies at all, but just people posing as zombies among a real walker herd.

So while “The Walking Dead” had spent significant time letting us get to know Magna’s new...

For Walking Dead comic book readers and show-only viewers alike, Sunday's midseason finale ended with a massive shock: the death of Jesus (Tom Payne), a fan-favorite figure who remains alive and well in the comics from Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard.

Ever since she first popped up out of nowhere in Season 8, “The Walking Dead” fans have been speculating non-stop about what Georgie’s (Jayne Atkinson) role will be in the future. Even though she has not appeared again since, Georgie’s impact has been felt — especially when we discovered that Maggie (Lauren Cohan) has made her exit from the show by joining up with Georgie’s quest to bring civilization back to the world.

We still don’t actually know that much about Georgie. She first appeared, as you recall, shortly before the Saviors attacked the Hilltop last season, offering food and knowledge — a book detailing primitive technology like aqueducts and so forth — in exchange for music. Georgie claimed to be roaming around, sort of trying to rekindle civilization wherever she encountered a community worth fostering.

Spoiler Alert: Do not keep reading if you have not seen Episode 7 of Season 9 of “The Walking Dead,” titled “Stradivarius”

This week’s episode of “The Walking Dead” picks up near the end of last week’s episode, with Rosita (Christian Serratos) wandering alone and wounded through the woods after she and Eugene (Josh McDermitt) narrowly escaped the group’s first encounter with the Whisperers. She struggles to find her way before eventually passing out.

Elsewhere, Carol (Melissa McBride) and Henry (Matt Lintz) have made their way to Daryl’s (Norman Reedus). Daryl lives a solitary existence out in the wilderness, with his only company being a dog that he affectionately refers to as…Dog. Carol asks Daryl to come with them to Hilltop in order to look out for her son, but Daryl is content to let the boy figure things out on his own.

The Walking Dead and Rick Grimes are walking two different roads these days — at least, they will be, once Rick is back in walking condition.

The Walking Dead fans were left picking their jaws up from the floor last Sunday when episode 6, “Who Are You Now?” dropped the bombshell that Michonne gave birth to another child following Rick Grimes’ disappearance six years prior. We didn’t get to learn much about the kid though and it was left to us to decide that he must be the son of Rick.

Showrunner Angela Kang soon confirmed that this was correct in a subsequent interview, revealing that the child’s name was R.J. – Rick Junior. Despite the writer’s words, some fans still doubted his identity and believe there might be some twist in his parentage, partly because he seemed to be too young to have been Rick’s.

However, it looks like we can put any lingering doubts properly to bed now as the official Walking Dead Twitter account – the one that represents the brand...

The Walking Dead may have lost one of its own in Rick Grimes, but the show must go on, as the old saying goes.

AMC’s undead flagship returns this Sunday with the premiere of “Stradivarius,” the penultimate installment before next week’s midseason finale. It’s a pivotal moment for season 9, then, though Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon) is already beginning to tease what’s in store for season 9B.

Over on Instagram, the Walking Dead mainstay posted a very brief video of him goofing around with a bunch of impassioned fans, though it was really the caption that triggered a big reaction on social media. Reedus has never been one to mince his words, and sure enough, The Walking Dead stalwart informed his followers that the second half of season 9 is, and we quote, “fucking great.”

But don’t just take our word for it…

Of all the many possible narrative permutations that could be spun out from Rick Grimes’ last hurrah on The Walking Dead, few have stopped to consider the idea of a full-blown prequel series.

From what we understand, AMC has drawn up plans for a trilogy of movies featuring Andrew Lincoln’s fan-favorite, the first of which will likely be with us at some point next year.

Armie Hammer has apologized for bashing celebrities who posted selfies with Stan Lee after his death earlier this week. The Call Me by Your Name star was trying to point out that posting a selfie with the comic book icon was taking his death and making it about themselves.

"A company can go out of business without going bankrupt," says attorney and Odin Law & Media founder Brandon Huffman in an interview with GameDaily. "All that means is that they were able to find someone to give them enough money for assets to pay any creditors...

Jeffrey Dean Morgan slammed Armie Hammer's comments on celebrity tributes to Stan Lee. Sadly, Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee passed away earlier this week. The news sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, and tributes to Lee began to spread like wildfire, and they're still happening, two days later. However, Hammer was not impressed with what he saw, calling out celebrities for posting selfies with Lee. He explains.

"So touched by all of the celebrities posting pictures of themselves with Stan Lee... no better way to commemorate an absolute legend than putting up a picture of yourself."

Obviously, Armie Hammer is free to have his opinion on the celebrity Stan Lee tributes. Some Marvel fans agreed with him, while others saw it a different way.
