Lauren Cohan Says The Walking Dead Season 6 Has A Suffocating Beginning

It's hard to imagine The Walking Dead's sixth season premiere topping the season five premiere. Cannibals slitting throats to drain blood, cracking skulls with baseball bats, and Carol going all Gears of War on everybody to save the day.

Well, season six might just have even more intensity based on the way Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie Greene, is describing it. "We have the most suffocating beginning to the season that I've experienced yet," Cohan told EW.

"And I think what's been really interesting is that you see us all kind of make strides in the direction of civility or civilization and a more regimented society," Cohan said. "And it's about being really challenged. So we'll see a ton of challenges and we'll see people the audience has been introduced to as very stable reliable characters crumbling, and I think it's going to be pretty scary. Welcome to The Walking Dead."

If the season six trailer from San Diego Comic Con wasn't enough to convince season six is bringing the heat, Cohan's comments should confirm the intensity. "Suffocating." Suffocating how? Probably lots and lots of walkers and clawing to survive, that's how.

Scott Gimple revealed at Comic Con (and again on the Talking Dead preview special last weekend) that season six episode one uses more walkers than any episode before it. We're not even at the No Way Out storyline from the comics yet (at least we shouldn't be)!

The Walking Dead returns for its sixth season October 11 at 9 PM ET on AMC.
