Three weeks before we shot that episode, we hadn’t even started building the set! None of us knew how we were going to do it. Designing that set and figuring out how far back the riverbed needed to be so we could shoot it in a way that didn’t feel like we were on a sound stage, but actually outside… that, to me, was the biggest accomplishment of the episode. I felt strongly that we needed a climate we could control, so the entire frozen riverbed area where the zombie attack occurs was all built onstage at Pinewood Studios. By the time we hired the company Snow Business who came and did all of our snow work, we were five days away from shooting. Ultimately, I didn’t have much time to prep it. We ended up spending a majority of the prep figuring out the snow. That was by and far the biggest challenge. But the one thing none of us had ever really done was shoot in the snow, and shoot in the snow in Georgia. Well, in terms of designing frozen zombies, I had been thinking about this for a while. When you’re dealing with such a technically complicated task as bringing winter into the world of The Walking Dead, where do you start? How exactly did The Walking Dead create a winter wasteland for its season nine finale? The Hollywood Reporter spoke with Nicotero for the answer, pulling the curtain back on the snowy secrets of the dead. Once she took the reins heading into season nine, Kang was finally able to execute the vision - but planning to pull the trigger and actually pulling the trigger are two very different things. Long before she became showrunner, writer Angela Kang had her eye on bringing the winter vision to life.
As a premise, “The Storm” owes origin to an early arc from Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead comic book series, which featured Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his companions surviving blizzard conditions. In addition to its tonally satisfying qualities, “The Storm” stands out as one of the single most visually distinct hours of The Walking Dead - no small feat, 131 episodes into the AMC drama’s turbulent run.

In order to survive the “snowpocalypse,” Daryl and friends must pass through Whisperer territory, potentially triggering another conflict with the deadly group of feral survivors. Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and several other main players join the relocation effort, difficult enough on its own, but all the more challenging thanks to an onslaught of winter weather.

#THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 9 SPOILERS REDDIT SERIES#
Oddly enough, one of the sunniest moments in recent series history comes in the form of the season nine finale - an episode that tasks the survivors of the zombie apocalypse with trudging forward through a snowstorm.ĭirected by co-executive producer and makeup effects legend Greg Nicotero, “The Storm” takes place months after the Whisperers captured and beheaded several heroes, including Henry (Matt Lintz), Enid (Katelyn Nacon) and Tara (Alanna Masterson). However, we also see several fresh faces, including Ritchie Coster, who has done an incredible job in portraying Pope.Given its bleak premise, The Walking Dead rarely offers rays of hope and sunshine. Of course, previous cast members like Norman Reedus, Lauren Cohan, and Jeffrey Dead Morgan are back in Season 11 to reprise their roles.
