'The Walking Dead' Season 8 Premiere Might Contain All Sorts Of Time Jumps

Cast Weigh In
Aaron actor Ross Marquand caught with ComicBook.com for an interview which will premiere on Thursday's live episode of ComicBook Now at 7 pm ET on Facebook. During the chat, Marquand shared his reaction to seeing Andrew Lincoln in the "Old Man Rick" get up, but also revealed a few details about the unique storytelling devices being used in the upcoming episode and those which follow.
"They play with the story telling of how we maneuver around time and everything," Marquand said. "It's told in a very interesting, narrative way. It's a massive departure from how we've been telling the story for the last few seasons and it's a really creative fun way of telling."
Fans will quickly recall the Season 6 finale which saw Rick Grimes and company leading a herd of walkers away from Alexandria with "THEN" and "NOW" being separated by simple titles but also contrasted with moments from the past being featured in black and white. Whether or not the Season 8 premiere will attempt something similar is to be seen!
Still, the Season 6 premiere did not feature scenes teasing events of the future, rather recapping the past which happened between the seasons.
