2018

I'm Terry Schwartz The Walking Dead is one of the biggest shows on television, and no matter how compelling the drama between this group of survivors is, it's always a relief to see

their

counterparts in life. I'm getting along very well here at Comic-Con, so I'm joined by the

cast

of The Walking Dead in person, please welcome Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, and Jeffrey Dean. This is also a very special appearance because I met Andrew yesterday on the panel you confirmed that this will be your last season with the walk, that's right, I think it's okay, at least you could take some time off, yes, for now, like this that to celebrate, celebrate and we needed to keep Jeffrey separated from everyone because obviously Anakin is in his cell, we saw that in the trailer, but Negan has some of the most scene-chewing dialogue on the show, so I wanted to give you all the opportunity to have a little fun.

Jeffrey clearly has, so we have a few options to choose from among the Negan speeches that I'm going to give you guys, and I would love for each of you to be up for it and I'll let you pick your favorites to do the

best

you can.

negan

lee and we'll have Jeffrey Jeffrey scoring and we'll see who wants to go first yeah drum roll. Oh, tell me, woman, me, the first night, uh-huh, what the hell are you doing? Rick, why are you scared, why are you doing this for Carl?

dead

because you couldn't leave him alone he's

dead

because of you because you weren't there to stop him from doing something stupid, you're sick, this coach you wanted to try.

I'll try, yes. Who do you know pants? Boy, I have a feeling we're getting closer. Yes, very soon it will be time to pee your pants. Which one of you idiots is the leader? Hi, you're Rick, right? I'm Negan and I don't appreciate that you killed my men too when I sent my people to do this somewhere, the point, yeah, it's something I deny, she's still reading it, it's a lot, it's a mouthful, no, it change, oh yeah, I like it now. Hale now, yeah, you know you don't. I didn't hear you say this so this is going to be really weird, you get the vibe, wow, you really want this to go off course, catch now.

I guess I got a lot of you right, people thought I was dead and I never would. get shitted on again well here's a little refresher on who the hell i am. I'm wearing a leather jacket, my nutsack is made of steel, pretty cool and ready, yeah that's awesome. I mean, obviously, you guys are clearly having a great time. I do not know how. You have the energy to do it, but I wanted you to know how to talk a little bit about your announcement yesterday. You talked a little bit on the panel about why it was time for you to leave the show, but I'm curious.

I have a say, but in the show from the beginning, how does this exit happen, does it have to be death or can it be something like no. I mean, I talked about this before, Angela Kang, our new showrunner, who is doing an incredible job. She called me before the start of the season and described the character arc and I just said it sounds amazing, this is exciting and I think the final episode is in the running for my favorite episode since the pilot, so I had no qualms with what she suggested and what she offered and I think it kind of shoots the rest of the season into a completely different stratosphere and I think everyone in this in this room and at home in Atlanta is killing it this season, it's going to be amazing, amazing, yeah.

I love when they come to Comic-Con because they always have that amazing trailer they give us on release day. We know the Walking Dead is coming back on October 7th, but I imagine it must be hard for you guys because you're pretty deep into the season at this point and we have no idea what's coming, so can you give me some coded sneak peeks that are very cryptic to get people excited about what to expect? Well, I'm curious, as it seemed in the trailer. as some competing ideas about how

best

to manage this new society. I think people are assuming that maybe Darrell could become the de facto leader, but what can you say about who's in charge?

You know we're not even trying to do that. impossible, but I think all the characters are entering into something different. I mean, the whole show itself is morphing into a new flavor of the show and it's just that everyone has a lot to do. Michele has a lot to do. Laurens has a lot to do. he has a lot to do so he is adapting to fill different things but no one is trying to be the new leader, he was the quarterback of this team he will always be the Danai if I'm not mistaken there is an opportunity in the trailer. where Michonne is actually holding Lucile right?

Am I making that up? You know what I mean? That's like a probably physically heavy but also heavy image. Is it really not cotton? It is made of lead. What can you? What can you do? joke about that scene and maybe you like what that sets up for what's to come, okay, well, I mean, Michonne is definitely going through a lot of very interesting transitions in the transition, you know, we do this incredible time jump, so we are about a year or so. Beyond where we were and you know there is a kind of society, a kind of structure that she is trying to build with Rick and they have an ideal of what they are trying to build, therefore the students are still alive because otherwise way, another wait.

Sometimes he would have taken a long time, she's dealing with that like the idea of ​​creating this new kind of society and making it happen, but still you know this warrior in her that you know has a completely different kind of instinct, so how those two things marry and how they project or collide or explode on her when she's not ready for it, so that's the journey she's on. I can't wait now. I also have many more questions, but we are running out of time. so I want to ask: we heard that jumping Thal is coming back as Shane this season in some way, some mysterious ability, we told you on the Internet, the Internet just wanted to get some free stuff from Nick and Nora, but the turkey burger, okay, it's a hoodie a really cool hoodie that he got that you've never given to anyone else yeah okay cool so I'll ask him in terms of Angela, your new showrunner, what do you think her overall vision is?

For this season? Oh, good question, no. I don't know about the vision, but I know about the pacing and the story and I just have to say, we've already said this, but it's been so amazing, definitely, these first six episodes are all of us together, like we're interacting in a way that we had never done before. I haven't really been able to do it since the first two seasons of the show, so I think people will understand that that's what fans are in for: seeing a lot of interaction between us, talking and relaxing, yeah, and cowboys and zombies is basically what Yes, we like a western, the shots of the horses and I mean, not only did it feel like a callback to the first season, but it also looked so cool that it looks like they're having a great time.

Thank you very much for coming. The ninth season of The Walking Dead premieres October 7 on AMC. We have many more
