Walking Dead fans who like their episodes extra-lengthy are in for a treat late this Fall. Reportedly, The Walking Dead Season 8's midseason finale will run overtime, clocking in at 88 minutes including commercials. The episode will be directed by executive producer Greg Nicotero, who also helmed the first episode of Season 8.

Airing December 10, the yet-to-be-titled eighth episode of The Walking Dead Season 8 will be followed by an episode of The Talking Dead, set to air immediately after the installment at 10:28pm ET, as opposed to the usual 10:00pm ET slot.

Typically, The Walking Dead episodes have 42 to 45 minutes of content, so we expect the midseason finale to add up to 60 to 66 minutes, not including commercials.
