Featured on the poster are all of the major characters, past and present, from The Walking Dead.
On the left side of the poster is Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, looking as he did in the earliest episodes of the AMC series, still wearing his Sheriff uniform. Beside him are characters such as Michonne, Glenn, The Governor, Merle Dixon, Deanna Monroe, Sasha, Beth, Daryl and Lori. Most of these characters have died.
On the right side is Rick Grimes as he appeared in the most recent seventh season of the AMC series. To his right are Negan, Dwight, Simon, Jadis, Daryl, Eugene, Jesus, Ezekiel, Father Gabriel, and Maggie. For now, most of these characters are still alive.
The poster reads, “100 Episodes. Thank you, fans!” before confirming the eighth season will arrive in October of 2017. Expect a lot of news, photos, and a trailer from The Walking Dead over the next few days, every detail of which will be found here at ComicBook.com/TheWalkingDead.
