We are saddened to report that John Bernecker, a talented stuntman for The Walking Dead and numerous other television shows and films, suffered serious injuries from a tragic accident on set.
It remains unclear if the production shutdown will in any way impact The Walking Dead Season 8’s Comic-Con 2017 plans next week, but best wishes to Bernecker in the meantime.
We have been informed of a serious injury to a SAG-AFTRA member on the set of The Walking Dead and are investigating the situation.
The Walking Dead isn’t generally known for practical stunts, but with Season 8 gearing up for “All Out War,” it stands to reason physical action would increase.
