NEW YORK, Oct. 16 (UPI) — AMC says it has renewed its wildly popular, zombie-apocalypse drama The Walking Dead for an eighth season.
The cable network Sunday aired a 2-hour re-cap special in the run-up to next weekend’s highly anticipated Season 7 premiere in which at least one longtime character is expected to be killed.
The program included fresh interviews with current cast members Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Chandler Riggs and Steven Yeun, as well as their past co-stars — whose characters have died — such as Laurie Holden, Jeffrey DeMunn and Scott Wilson.
AMC is re-running all episodes of the six, previous seasons this week. The marathon started Sunday.
