Walking Dead‘s Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Wife Hilarie Burton to Host AMC’s Chatty Friday Night In From Isolation

Of all people, The Walking Dead’s Negan is going to bring us together in this time of social distancing. AMC announced Friday that the reformed villain’s portrayer, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and wife Hilarie Burton (One Tree Hill) are hosting a new series, Friday Night In With the Morgans, premiering Friday, April 17, at 10/9c.
In each episode, the couple, tucked away safely at their Mischief Farm in upstate New York, will steer conversations via video-chat about how they and their guests are coping with and helping out during this strange period of life in isolation. Among those shooting the breeze will be Walking Dead cast members past (Sarah Wayne Callies) and present (Christian Serratos), actor-director Mark Duplass (HBO’s Room 104) and Morgan’s Supernatural pals Jensen and Danneel Ackles, who actually introduced the Morgans to one another.
“We have been a part of the AMC family for a long time and are honored to create this comforting space with them,” the marrieds said in a statement. “We look forward to shining a light on those who are doing good in the world, catching up with old friends and connecting with the awesome fan base we’ve gotten to know over the years.”
For AMC’s part, “we loved the idea of experimenting” with the couple, said Sarah Barnett, president of AMC Networks’ Entertainment Group and AMC Studios. “And this really will be an experiment — it’s the antidote to the overly rehearsed, overly manicured glimpse into somebody’s perfect life… Ultimately, it’s a shot at some raw and real entertainment that will uplift and connect with our audiences.”

What a great idea!
Well, if your going to “experiment” with a couple, that’s the one ;)
I’m not to to deny I thought the same thing 😂
This actually makes sense.
So excited! I love the Morgan’s! 🤗
You just know he’ll do one with Norman and Andy. Yes please!!!
Never knew they were a couple. It’s always surprising to learn stuff like this.
They’ve been together for a long time and have a couple kids. I believe they just got married recently-ish.
They had their first kid in 2010 but didn’t get married until last year.
Yeah I thought they got married like within the last 6 or 7 months.
Hello to you both. Hoping all is well and that you are taking care of each other well and thank you 💓 for joining AMC and I will be looking forward to seeing you both soon. Stay safe and keep your head down and smile ☺ you are the best actor and my respects for your wife, she’s a lucky lady. Wishing you all the best with the new show
Beautiful wedding. Eric Roberts shared pictures on insta and everyone looked like they were having so much fun.
Thank you for doing this, cause the world needs people like you to bring some joy into our lives, love the Morgan family.
Sounds awesome!
Seriously they seem to be two of the nicest folks around and I would accept this invitation!
Yes! I’ll definitely be watching! Sounds great! Jeffrey Dean Morgan seems like a caring guy and is quite funny.
Too bad JDM supports the blue lives matter movement.
I know we are supposed to be in here talking about tv and such things, but can you explain what exactly is the blue lives matter? Thank you.
The Morgans are really nice people and of course both are great actors.
They support the police . That is what blue lives matter means. Shame on the person that doesn’t support our police . I pray you never need their help. I love that that Jeffrey supports them!! They are hero’s in my eyes!
Thank you Lous for that explanation. While there are bad people in every occupation, you don’t throw the entire thing under the bus. Being a police officer is one of most stressful, scary, tension filled jobs you can have. Even if nothing happens on a shift, there’s the whatif,. You don’t get that anywhere else. Unfortunately this type of atmosphere draws different types of people, but the majority are brave, compassionate men and women called to protect their fellow neighbors. Instead of listening to the news’s side of things go out and meet your local police, I have. I thing you will be be pleasantly surprised and turning blue! You don’t have to like the bad parts of the police and stop working to improve those areas , you just have to remember in the midst of all that chaos, the hero’s are quietly going about their jobs. Blue lives matter because my life matters to them.
I definitely agree with you Tracie. 👍
Okay thank you for your reply. Their job is definitely stressful and dangerous. The young man that lives next door to me recently graduated and wants to become a Police Officer. I’m happy for him but worried for him as well. I wonder what “back the blue” is…..it might be the same as “blue lives matter” but the definition/info that I found on that was kind of confusing. We should always support our LEO and our FF and EMT’s. They all put their lives at risk for us, I honor them for that. I dont understand how being supportive of our LEO is a bad or negative thing. Have a good day. Happy Easter. 🐰
Dang forkin straight!!!!
Cops
There’s an a-hole in every thread. I found the one in this thread right here.
Definitely will be watching. Awesome, thank you.
Hell Yeahhhh!!!!!!
Count me in. I think this is a great idea especially since so much TV is now reruns. It will be nice to have a fresh kind of show and couldn’t have chose a better couple for the experiment.
I will. I recently worked with Jeffrey on “Shrine “. Production was cut short by the pandemic.
Yes absolutely! Very hyped up!!!😉✌️♥️
I’ve been a fan of Jeffery since since I first seen him on Supernatural.
I want to see his farm animal buddies,he really has a great relationship with his little donkey 🐎
Huge fan of TWD and Supernatural. Can’t wait to watch!
This is going to be aired as a normal cable show – correct? Its not showing up on AMCs schedule for 4/17.
Love the idea of Jensen and Danneel being first guests considering it was Jensen that introduced them and that they are such good friends.
Same. My guide is not showing it in the line up.
Yes,I will,be glad too.
Sounds great, I’ve liked all of Jeffrey and Hilarie work. And they truly seem like awesome humans!
They give back so much to the plant and the living, people / animals.
I met Hilarie back in May 2018 in upstate NY. By accident Hilarie walked into a store I was walking out of. She was carrying her baby, but still took the time to a photo and some small talk.
Hilarie’s parents did a great job raising her.
What a brilliant thing to do……your president should take notice of this…..didn’t expect anything less from such a good family….sending love and prayers from the UK….🙂
Great idea! A fan of you both. Will be tuning in from my living room in quarantine!
Can’t wait!
