'The Walking Dead' episode that kills Carl will be extra-long

Warning: Spoilers for the eighth season of The Walking Dead ahead.

The Walking Dead may be killing off Carl Grimes in the upcoming mid-season premiere but at least it's giving him a special extended episode to send him off with.

The upcoming ninth episode of Season 8 of The Walking Dead will be 82 minutes in length instead of the usual 60 minutes, Entertainment Weekly reported Wednesday, likely to give Carl a proper send-off after he was bitten by a zombie in the previous episode.
