When The Walking Dead Season 5 returns with new episodes on February 8, we’re sure there will still be lots of blood and gore and violence and death.
But there will also be something new, executive producer and showrunner Scott Gimple tells E! News.
“The back eight has a very interesting structure,” Gimple teases of upcoming episodes. “There are some very emotional moments, there are some very crazy moments and there’s a huge change for the situation of these characters.”
On The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 8, Rick, Daryl, Michonne and company tried and failed to rescue Beth. She ended up killed by episode’s end.
The crew now seems to lack any kind of real direction, which does open up Gimple’s canvas quite a bit.
“It feels like we’re moving into a new show, it just feels like a new place visually and also story wise” star Lincoln says, while Lauren Cohad adds that her character of Maggie will be “fighting a dark side that she’s always resisted.”
Can any of the survivors hold on to their humanity after all that has transpired?
We have a few months to ponder that question – and you have an opportunity to watch The Walking Dead online in order to catch up on anything you may have missed…
