Following the Season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead, the Chris Hardwick hosted Talking Dead recap show will run 90-minutes long, extending the usual hour-long therapy session.

In addition to announcing the extended episode of Talking Dead, Hardwick went on to reveal that each cast member featured in Negan's line-up will be a part of the show: Andrew Lincoln, Ross Marquand, Norman Reedus, Sonequa Martin-Green, Josh McDermitt, Michael Cudlitz, Chandler Riggs, Christian Serratos, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. In addition to the cast members, showrunner Scott Gimple and writer/creator Robert Kirkman will also guest on the show.

The Talking Dead special won't take place in the usual studio. Instead, it will be hosted live from the Hollywood Forever Graveyard.

To conclude the excitement, Hardwick announced that 2,000 tickets will be given away for fans to attend the show and watch the Season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead with the cast members.

Filling the gap between Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead will be a Talking Dead special titled, "The Journey So Far," in which cast and crew will join Hardwick to preview the upcoming season. Kirkman warns, "Buckle up."

The Walking Dead returns for its seventh season on October 23 at 9 PM ET on AMC. For complete coverage and insider info all season long, follow @BrandonDavisBD on Twitter.
