When does The Walking Dead air in the UK?

The Walking Dead season 8 ends tonight (Monday, April 16) at 9pm on Fox.

Tonight's edition is the 16th and final episode of the series, and is titled Wrath.

You can watch Fox if you have a Sky subscription or if you have a NOW TV account.

What will happen in The Walking Dead season 8?

The latest series of The Walking Dead has been one of the most explosive in the show's history.

The premiere picked up right where the season 7 finale ended, with Alexandria, The Kingdom and The Hilltop Colony declaring war on Negan.

In a total twist on the premiere from Season 7, where Negan destroyed all hope within our favourite characters, season 8 began with something more hopeful.

The combined attack on the Saviours did not go to plan with both Negan and his comrades surviving after Daryl, Rosita and Michonne miscalculated.

Dwight's double-crossing may have been exposed and Maggie has taken complete control of the hilltop.

The last episode of the first half of S8 left Carl Grimes on the brink of death after he was bitten by a zombie - what happens next?
