From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The Walking Dead showrunner Scott Gimple has suggested that fans could see Glenn return sometime in the future.

Much in the same way that last week's season finale included a flashback featuring fallen character Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) - who, alongside Glenn, got bludgeoned to death by Negan in the season seven opener - Gimple has teased Glenn's return as a vision or in flashbacks as “possible.”

TVLine reports that Gimple's response to the question of whether fans would see Glenn again was as follows:

“Pretty good, actually. As Maggie gets closer to giving birth, it’s “certainly possible. I’d be silly to say it isn’t.”

Still, it's looking like if that were the case, it'd be far into the show's future - namely when Maggie gives birth to their baby (should the character still be alive at that stage).

“She might not be that close. Things have been moving pretty quickly, but not a lot of time has passed.”

Following last week's season finale (our review of which you can read here), Gimple has teased the AMC zombie series' eighth season, sparking fears for one character in particular.

Rick Grimes actor Andrew Lincoln also revealed how the forthcoming season's opening episode - which will be the 100th special - is due to begin.

The Walking Dead returns in the US and UK this October.
