Talking Dead Guests Are Gale Anne Hurd, Cliff Curtis, And Surprises

Following tonight's midseason finale of Fear the Walking Dead, Chris Hardwick will have an overflowing couch filled with talent as he recaps the Shiva episode on Talking Dead.

Joining Hardwick for Talking Dead are Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead's executive producer Gale Anne Hurd, Fear's Travis Manawa actor Cliff Curtis, and two additional surprise cast members from Fear the Walking Dead. Has the couch ever fit four people on it before?

In last Sunday's episode of Fear the Walking Dead, the group arrived at Thomas Abigail's estate but it looks like their visit will be short lived. After discovering Thomas's mother's strange antics involving poisoning folks so they can live on as undead walkers, Daniel will look to dispute her choices. More importantly, Strand elected not to commit suicide with his lover Thomas, Celia's son, but instead shot him in the head before he could turn into a walker.

The title of Shiva is likely referring to the period of mourning which will take place at the Abigail estate. That mourning will not be traditional, though, as most of the survivors taking refuge on the land will be not agree with Strand's choice to put Thomas Abigail down rather than allow him to roam the world as an undead walker.

Talking Dead will be pushed back 90 minutes as AMC will air the 90-minute pilot episode of its new series Preacher. Preacher, which is another comic book based TV show, will air at 10 PM ET in Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead's offseasons.

Talking Dead airs tonight at 10:30 PM ET on AMC.
