Horror fans have been gripped by Fear the Walking Dead season 8, which airs its mid-season finale this weekend.

Fans might be ready to catch their breath with a brief hiatus, as this week's episode featured a major death that ranks among the most heartbreaking this series has ever seen.

Grace Mukherjee (Karen David) became the latest to succumb to the infection, despite the very best efforts of Morgan (Lennie James) and Mo (Zoey Merchant) to save her.

Reacting to the twist, David wrote on Twitter: "It was definitely an experience [becoming a Walker]! Perhaps not my favourite as it was kind of spooky and gunky!

"It felt so surreal, and sad at the same time with it being the end for Grace and I and the final season and all. But my husband was thrilled as he has always wanted me to play a zombie!"

Naturally, fans are eager to find out what could possibly happen next – and ultimately, who will get out alive. Here's everything we know about the release schedule of Fear the Walking Dead season 8 and when we can expect new episodes.
