Many shows use their series finale as an opportunity to bring back characters from the past and “Rest in Peace,” the last episode of The Walking Dead, was no exception. The zombie drama’s final hour indeed brought back some familiar faces both in flashback form and in the present. You can read about that particularly thrilling latter passage over here so you don’t get spoiled in this space. But the finale came with some other cameos that you may have missed.
No, we’re not talking about the fact that Chandler Riggs (formerly Carl Grimes) turned up on set and got to be a background extra in an Alexandria scene. Nor are we talking about the fact that series producer and this episode’s director Greg Nicotero portrayed a zombie yet again (you can see him in the image accompanying this article).

After 11 seasons and 177 episodes, the AMC TV series The Walking Dead officially came to an end last night – and longtime viewers got a special treat during the series finale’s commercial breaks. In ads for Autodesk, Deloitte, DoorDash, Mntn, and Ring that were produced by Ryan Reynolds’ company Maximum Effort and AMC Networks’ Content Room, the products are hyped by zombified versions of long-lost Walking Dead characters Rodney (dead since season 9), Milton (dead since season 3), Gareth (dead since season 5), and Andrea (also dead since season 3). Actors Joe Ando Hirsh, Dallas Roberts, Andrew West, and Laurie Holden reprised their roles for these commercials. A compilation of the “Walking Deadvertising” commercials can be seen at the bottom of this article.
Deadline notes that Dan Sanborn of Kimmelot, which is Jimmy Kimmel’s company for “developing and producing television, digital programming, films, mobile applications, and products”, was also involved with “putting together the brand-straddling narratives.

Taking advantage of the expected mass tune-in for tonight’s finale of The Walking Dead, a handful of ads featuring characters who died during the show’s 11-season run has given fans reason to not look away during commercial breaks.
The initiative resurrecting four characters for ads for Autodesk, Deloitte, DoorDash, Mntn and Ring (watch a compilation Above) was co-ordinated by Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort and AMC Networks’ Content Room. Kimmelot’s Dan Sanborn also had a hand in putting together the brand-straddling narratives. The characters making their return included Milton Mamet (played by Dallas Roberts), Andrea Harrison (Laurie Holden), Rodney (Joe Ando-Hirsh) and Gareth (Andrew West).
The Content Room, created in 2020, has produced a number of branded properties tied to AMC shows, including the Emmy-nominated Cooper’s Bar, a short-form digital series co-created by and starring Better Call Saul‘s Rhea Seehorn. Another of its ventures was Bottomless Brunch at Colman’s,...

Fans of the long-running series were surprised Sunday when their screens were filled with shots of Milton Mamet (Dallas Roberts), Andrea Harrison (Laurie Holden), Rodney (Joe Ando-Hirsh) and Gareth (Andrew West), years after they died in the series.

Searchlight Pictures has released the trailer for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” starring Andrew Garfield and Jessica Chastain as infamous televangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker.
The trailer gives viewers a sneak peek into the brightly-colored world of Jim and Tammy, but things begin to go south when financial improprieties, a sex scandal and rivals break up their marriage — and their empire. As the trailer progresses and the Bakkers grow older, Chastain and Garfield become nearly unrecognizable, showing off the hair and makeup department’s skills.
Directed by Michael Showalter and based on a true story, “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” details the rise, fall and redemption of Jim and Tammy Faye during the 1970s and ’80s. The Bakkers went from humble beginnings to creating the world’s largest religious broadcasting network, as well as a Christian theme park. The couple soon soared to fame for their teachings about love and acceptance,...

(Major spoilers ahead for the March 24 episode of “The Walking Dead” on AMC)
(For real)
Fans of “The Walking Dead” by now are pretty used to the brutality of the show, with so many major characters being killed over the years. But nothing that has come before on “The Walking Dead” could fully prepare us for the emotional devastation that came at the end of this past Sunday’s episode — the next-to-last episode of season 9.
While maybe not as overtly severe as the season 7 premiere in which Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) beat Abraham and Glenn to death with his baseball bat, it certainly beat that episode in terms of quantity — this episode saw ten protagonist characters murdered and their heads placed on spikes.
In a sequence ripped nearly straight from the pages of the “Walking Dead” comics, Alpha (Samantha Morton) and her Whisperers managed to capture Daryl (Norman Reedus), Michonne...
