The Walking Dead returns Sunday, October 23 at 9/8c, followed by an expanded 90-minute episode of Talking Dead live from the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, featuring Hardwick, the cast members in Negan’s line-up, and Lucille.
With this renewal also comes 16 episodes of Talking Dead, the live after-show hosted by Chris Hardwick, which is the highest-rated talk show on television and the No. 2 show on cable, behind The Walking Dead.
Days before its highly-anticipated Season 7 premiere, The Walking Dead has been renewed for an eighth season.
The Walking Dead Season 8 will premiere in late 2017 and will kick off with the 100th episode of the series.
