Norman Reedus Says The Walking Dead Season 7 Brings A Shift Of Power

While promoting Ride with Norman Reedus, which made its debut on Sunday, Norman Reedus chatted with Deadline about his new show and what can fans can look forward to seeing in the seventh season of his hit television series, The Walking Dead.

“It’s a brand new world right now, man,” Reedus shared. “We have big bad guy and that opens up our world quite a bit and changes everything. I mean, you see a shift of power completely on our show. And you see a lot of people who’ve gone through a whole lot, having to bite their tongue for a minute and deal with this new world and this new villain. If you know the comic books, it opens up even larger than that.”

As for his motorcycle show, what was something unexpected that he learned while traveling through Death Valley, the Appalchias, Florida and on the Pacific Coast Highway? “The thing I didn’t quite expect was how it was like when you take a vacation with someone and how well you know them at the end of the vacation,” he said. “I would take people that I knew or that I kinda knew or that I knew really well and at the end of our ride, at the end of the episode, I got to know them really really well. It was super positive and one of those happy accidents for every episode.”

Ride with Norman Reedus follows actor and motorcycle enthusiast Reedus as he takes viewers on a ride on the open road to explore local biker culture and its history and celebrate some of the best and brightest collectors, mechanics and motorcycle craftsmen around the country. Each episode of Ride will begin in a different city where Reedus and his riding companion – a fellow actor, musician, friend, or local chopper fanatic who shares his passion for motorcycles – will journey to a new destination. Along the way, they will stop at various locales such as custom bike shops, tattoo parlors, collector’s warehouses, or a roadside smokehouse… with plenty of time for unplanned detours and tire changes. The series will also showcase different types of motorcycles each week, including vintage, minis and cruisers.

Ride with Norman Reedus airs Sundays at 10/9c on AMC.
