Season 8
When The Walking Dead returns in October, its Season 8 premiere will mark the 100th overall episode. However, the AMC series has no plans of slowing down after achieving such a milestone.
"The way we plan ahead is to live in abject terror and anxiety," showrunner Scott Gimple told ComicBook.com. "It isn't about necessarily planning the 100th episode, it is sort of about planning the next 100 episodes. In a lot of ways, we've planned out this show into many seasons from now. The comic book affords us that and then the inspiration we get from the comic and things we want to see more of."
"What I'm hoping for the season premiere to be next year is the kick off of the next 100 episodes. The promise of more story and another future. Every eight episodes we try to reinvent ourselves and we're gonna try and do it again."
The new season, however, is shaping up to be drastically different by comparison to its immediate predecessor. With Season 7 having followed a humbled a bullied Rick Grimes, Season 8 is looking to jump right into the war fans have been craving with a "ton of action" according to executive producer Denise Huth.
