AMC's The Walking Dead returns tonight, and ComicBook.com has been squirreled away at New York Comic Con all weekend long to get as much coverage of this and other fan-favorite shows all weekend long.

Part of that mission included a trip to Madison Square Garden on Friday night for the fan premiere of The Walking Dead's season six premiere, which will air tonight on AMC.

We spoke with a number of actors and producers associated with the show, including Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie Greene.

"Maggie and Carol get to interact this season, which is something that I've looked forward to and hoped for, for five seasons," Cohan told us. "It's a whole new world."

You can check it out below.

The Walking Dead returns tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT on AMC.
