Your support makes all the difference.The latest episode of The Walking Dead season 8 primarily honed in on the faction led by King Ezekiel for a thrilling, gory outing that resulted in heart-wrench for fans.
This week saw another character perish in the war against Negan, losing her life to a horde of walkers: Shiva, Ezekiel's beloved tiger brought to life in the series by animatronics.
Shiva lost her life in a climactic scene which saw a wounded Ezekiel, Carol and Jerry surrounded by the undead with seemingly no way out - a scene almost taken directly from the comics.
Enter Shiva, his loyal pet, who takes a large chunk out before getting eviscerated as a distraught Ezekiel watched on.
Ezekiel wasn't the only one left reeling from Shiva's death as fans expressed their upset through social media.
You can watch the trailer for next week's episode - featuring the return of both Gabriel and Negan - here.
The Walking Dead season 8 airs every Sunday in the US on AMC with the UK premiere arriving the following evening on FOX. It will also be available on NOWTV
