Robert Kirkman Says Walking Dead Season 7 Is Epic
Anticipation for AMC’s The Walking Dead series could not be more high. After the reveal of Negan, and the cliffhanger that he killed a main cast member, but not showing who, has sent the fanbase into a frenzy that has lasted for half a year. Now, the wait is almost over, and creator Robert Kirkman can’t wait for fans to see this season. And if could describe it in one word..
“I mean, the word is epic,” says Robert Kirkman to Entertainment Weekly
“The show is expanding,” he goes on. “We’re introducing the Kingdom, we already have the Hilltop, we’re going to be exploring more of the Saviors and the Sanctuary that they live in and more of what goes on around Negan, what his average daily life is, which is extremely interesting.”
Apparently the idea of more civilization and people being around is a key aspect to this season.
“What we’re finding is there’s a lot of civilization out there,” Kirkman says. “There are smaller groups here and there that actually have been thriving and it gets to be a little exciting because we’re going to be seeing how they’ve been surviving, and a lot of them have been getting by in a much different way than Rick and his group. So we’re meeting these people that have lived in this apocalyptic situation for as long as Rick Grimes and his crew, who we’ve been following since day one, but we haven’t seen their evolution and their progression. And so some of them grow to be like Negan’s group, some of them grow to be like Ezekiel’s group, some of them grow to be like Gregory’s group at the Hilltop, and the differences between these groups, and their ways of life, is going to be a lot of fun to explore this season.”
Walking Dead Season 07 debuts on October 23rd on AMC.
