At present, the American horror TV series "The Walking Dead" has been renewed for 8 seasons, and Scott Gimple, the operator of the series, said that "The Walking Dead" is still early to end.
On the evening of March 17, local time, when attending the annual PaleyFest TV Festival event in Los Angeles, Kimpler said: "Episode 1 of Season 8 will be the 100th episode of The Walking Dead. This means not only the 100th episode, but also the opening of a new round of 100 episodes. "Season 7 is just the end of the season, a summary of the previous story." It's going to start a new chapter, not just Season 8, but more stories. ”
Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his friends are currently working to unite with The Kingdom, Hilltop, and Hilltop against Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his Saviors. Therefore, it is very likely that viewers will see a hearty war in the final episode of episode 7. Jeffrey Dean Morgan also confirmed that he will be involved in the filming of Season 8.
In the first episode of Season 7, Negan kills Green (Steven Yuan) and Abraham (Michael Kurlitz), and Kimpler confesses that if this episode still makes you feel the pain, then all the cast members can feel your pain. "Episode 1 is a small trauma for both you and the plot," Kim said, "and the first half of Season 7 worries the audience, but then it makes all the characters smile again." According to Kimpler, in the second half of Season 7 viewers can see those characters come back to life.
At the PaleyFest TV Festival, we learned the following:
Josh McDermitt claims that Eugene (or "Negan") simply wants to survive. The cowardly engineer is at the mercy of the Salvation Army and feels very good about his underwear, but McCordmetter believes that he is not trying to betray his friends or help them. "I don't think he's playing a game; he's for himself, he wants to protect himself," he explains, "eugene is scared, and that fear stems from Negan... Why not join forces with someone who scares you? We can see that he adapted to that and made a change. If he can continue to live, we will see him adapt and change further. So he survived, he deceived others, manipulated others, like a 'little strong'. ”
Dwight may still have hope. Eugene dresses up at sanctuary, while Dwight seems to have other ideas under Negan's oppression. Actor Austin Amelio admits that in Season 7, Episode 11, he hopes to show the more vulnerable side of the character. "When I first got the script, I was a little disappointed because most of the time, I jumped out of the tree or attacked your favorite character," Amello joked. He noted that Season 7, Episode 11, will let viewers know "what Dwight really cares about and what he's fighting for." As Negan's right and left hand, is it possible for Dwight to atone for his sins? Amelio said: "I hope so. ”
What doesn't destroy you will make you stronger — especially if you're Maggie. Lauren Cohan said that Maggie's attitude towards the loss of her husband and family was because "she came to understand that it was not just her own business, nor any personal matter, but what they had to face as a whole, a united and great whole, and they persevered, and they still did not fall." "In Maggie's situation, it's easy for others to give up. Kohan said: "After suffering such a wound, you still have life, and you know that you are going to live like this, is there any other reason?" She added: "The more people she loses, the more the fire in her heart grows, and the more she wants to support everyone around her." ”
Sasha is also powerful. Sonequa Martin-Green has similar feelings to Kohan, especially since Sasha and Rosita (Christie Celatus) are planning to join the team and take Down Negan. "It's no longer my personal business, nor is it because I want to survive or be safe alone, it's to lay a solid foundation for the future we can create," Sasha said after Abraham's death.
Melissa McBride doesn't think Carol is a villain. "I really don't think she's a villain because when I'm acting, I feel like I didn't play her as a villain, she just did a little bad thing," she confessed, "I'm proud of Carol." None of the [things she's been through] deserve her. If she can afford that, she can learn something from it. When your mind is confused, even if you are in chaos, it is not a big deal. I'm proud of her, and I really admire her honesty with herself and never pleasing others. ”
Andrew Lincoln sees Michonne as the key to Rick's new sense of purpose. "One of the things I like about Michonne is that he always gets knocked down, but usually gets back up for the sake of others. It's the first time he hasn't gotten back on his feet and he needs someone to pull him along, and he's definitely the key to Rick's return," he said. And, not surprised that Rick and Michonne would have children of their own in the future, he shrugged and said, "We're going to make this world inhabited again." ”
Currently, "The Walking Dead" airs on AMC every Sunday at 9 p.m. local time.
