The Walking Dead S05 Finale Extended To 90 Mins

The Walking Dead only recently returned after a long hiatus, but the season finale is already in view, and that thought is a sad one for fans of the show. There's nothing you can do to slow its approach, but AMC has decided to extend how long that finale will last, announcing recently that it has boosted the final episode by a full 30 minutes. This means the Season 5 finale will now be 90 minutes long, and probably no less likely to cause heartache.The Walking Dead, season 5, returned earlier this month after several weeks off, and it has since been airing faithfully on Sunday nights on AMC. We're three episodes deep so far (nothing particularly spoiler-worthy ahead), and they've given viewers what they've come to expect, both in terms of story line and in pacing/style.

Depending on your current position of the series, that may or may not be a good thing. The Walking Dead has had its stumbles, not the least of which being due to unnecessary meddling with the creative process, and some viewers have called for a return to its roots: zombies, zombies, and more, er, walkers.

For those unaware, the season finale will be taking place on March 29 at 9c on AMC. Be sure to check out the timeline below for other news related to the series and AMC!
