"There are some big deaths this season," Gimple said. Fans of The Walking Dead comics often think they know who will be claimed by the apocalypse in each season but Gimple's tag to the dark promise might leave them wondering how much they really know. "I think [the deaths will] possibly catch people by surprise," Gimple said.
