In preparation of the Season 8 premiere, which will also serve as the 100th overall episode of the series, The Walking Dead has released a video of its cast thanking fans for helping achieve such a milestone.
The video, seen above, features cast members old and new. In a rare moment, Rick actor Andrew Lincoln is seen speaking in his true accent as opposed to the southern dialect attributed to his role. Also featured are Danai Gurira, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Pollyanna McIntosh, Josh McDermitt, Melissa McBride, Norman Reedus, Steven Ogg, Alanna Masteron, Xander Berkeley, Tom Payne, Ross Marquand, Chandler Riggs, Katelyn Nacon, and Lauren Cohan.
"I love you very much, stay tuned," Lincoln said. "Because 100's gonna be big."

"Episode 801, the first episode of Season 8, is going to be the 100th episode," showrunner Scott Gimple previously said. "The first episode is, I think less about that we reached 100 episodes. It's more about setting up the next 100."
With episode 100 will come the start of some major differences within the series. A common complaint from fans regarding the show's seventh season was that the AMC series slowed down its story in favor of extending the Negan storyline and delaying the inevitable war ahead. Season 8 sounds like it will jump right in.
"The turn of the story is really going to dictate the structure of the story and the speed of the story," Gimple said. "The things that they are getting into demand a more kinetic narrative. The pace is accelerated by virtue of the things that they're up to. Though I don't want to say exactly, anybody who watches the show can extrapolate that they're now into public conflict with the Saviors; the battle lines are drawn. There isn't quite as much time to dig into anything but prosecuting the war."
