Next week, AMC's The Walking Dead will invade Atlanta, the show's hometown, as the cast and crew assemble for Walker Stalker Con in the show's hometown.

In addition to events at the convention, a special event will be held on Saturday night, October 29, for fans both in attendance and also the fans at home who can't make it.

Walking Dead stars Andrew Lincoln and Lennie James will host a live Q&A and commentary panel which will screen the series premiere of the highest rated show on cable. The premiere episode saw Lincoln's Rick Grimes march out of Atlanta, discovering the apocalypse for the first time, and landing at the home of Morgan Jones. The two are the only actors featured in the episode whose characters remain on the show today.

Those not able to be in attendance in Atlanta will still be able to follow the live commentary and engage with the cast by downloading and using the GabBox app while streaming the pilot via their favorite streaming service (such as Netflix) or syncing their DVD/Blu-ray. GabBox will post the time to start and fans can sync the pilot at home to play with the in-person audience, so all fans can participate.

Through GabBox, fans can listen to the commentary and also interact with one another through a live comment section. GabBox will allow the audience and the online public to engage Lincoln and James in a real-time conversation about the pilot while they share insider anecdotes you can't hear anywhere else.

The event is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET on October 29 in the Thomas Murphy Ballroom with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. ET. Tickets are free to reserve on from GabBox on the Showclix website, as long as seats are available.

Walker Stalker Con will take place in Atlanta, Georgia from October 28-30. The Walking Dead returns for its seventh season on October 23 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC. For complete coverage and insider info all season long, follow @BrandonDavisBD on Twitter.
