When we last saw the survivors of The Walking Dead, Rick had declared all-out war on Negan.

On Sunday, October 22 at 9/8c, the war rages on and Executive Producer Scott M. Gimple promises a battle that unfolds at “breakneck speed and full of action.”

In the new The Walking Dead Season 8 Preview Special, Gimple, Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan) and Lennie James (Morgan) join host Chris Hardwick to discuss the upcoming season and what the 100th episode, the Season 8 Premiere, means to each of them.

“It starts off right where we left off last year, and it’s kind of balls to the walls,” says Morgan of the premiere.

In addition to chatting with Gimple, Morgan and James, Hardwick covers the explosive Season 8 Premiere from every angle: exclusive interviews straight from the set with Andrew Lincoln (Rick), Norman Reedus (Daryl) and more, as well as a special message from the cast.

Plus, don’t miss an exclusive extended preview of the new season.

Weapons up. Season 8 is coming.

The Walking Dead returns Sunday, October 22 at 9/8c.
