The Walking Dead Season 8 Confirmed
More shuffling walkers and gun-totting drama with The Walking Dead is coming as AMC renew the show for its eighth season.
"Eeny, meeny, miny, more," said AMC president Charlie Collier, cheekily referring to a line from Negan in the show.
"What a joy to partner with Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple, and some of the hardest-working people in television to bring The Walking Dead to the fans. And, most important, thanks to those fans for breathing life into this remarkable series right along with us." The show recently ended its sixth season with quite a cliffhanger as one of the main characters is supposedly executed, with even Negan actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan kept in the dark.
"It's a really s****y start to the season", said Rick Grimes' Andrew Lincoln during this summer's San Diego Comic-Con.
The Walking Dead Season 7 begins with the first episode airing October 23rd on AMC in the US, and on FOX in the UK October 24th.
Season 8 of The Walking Dead won't likely air until late 2017.
