Last night marked the premiere of Fear The Walking Dead (the highest rated series premiere in history, by the way). With that premiere, came a Talking Dead pre-premiere show where Chris Hardwick sat down with Jorge Garcia of LOST and The Walking Dead‘s showrunner Scott M. Gimple.
To kick things off, Hardwick directed his attention to Gimple, curious about season six. “We’ve prepared a crawl. A Star Wars crawl. Let’s cut to the crawl,” Gimple joked about revealing a spoiler-filled season six summary.

He did get serious about season six, though. “It is massive. It is ginormous. The crew and cast and writers and editors and everybody – I live in fear for my life because ever script that comes out is just enormous,” Gimple explained. “This is our biggest season yet. It’s our biggest premiere yet. We are both playing the electric guitar and the acoustic guitar throughout the season.”
What’s so big about it? Well, how about walkers, walkers, and more walkers? Hardwick asked Gimple if someone knew the exact number for most walkers in a Walking Dead episode, and Gimple told him, “The guy who knows that number is currently breaking that number. That’s Greg [Nicotero].” Nicotero is currently working on episode nine of The Walking Dead’s sixth season, the midseason premiere, and while it sounds like it will involve a record number of walkers, “one was the biggest,” for now.
The Walking Dead returns October 11 on AMC.
