Actress Says Premiere Will Be 'So Flippin' Cool!'

On Thursday, Entertainment Weekly posted an interview with creator Robert Kirkman who revealed that the first episode of the next season will mainly focus on Terminus.

"There's a lot of big revelations that haven't really come out that I think people are gonna be really startled by," Kirkman said. "There's a couple other revelations that I think people might've gotten a little bit of a lead on. We'll definitely be defining those in some cool ways and confirming some theories and shooting down others, which is very exciting."

The series creator also mentioned that there will be new characters, some who are from the comic.

"We're always pushing boundaries and doing new things and changing the ways we tell stories," he said. "We tried some new things in season 4 and they worked pretty well and they helped tell some really great stories, and we've done that and now we're moving on. We're gonna do some new stuff, and a lot of that involves bring in a lot of new characters."

It also turns out that Rick is going to become more hard-core, and Andrew Lincoln is having fun portraying that.

"That's a place he gets to in the comic book series, and I know everyone's been asking, 'When's 'that' guy coming? When are we gonna see 'that' guy?,'" Kirkman said. "I can say with confidence that he's here, and Andrew Lincoln is having, I think, a great time with it."

The Walking Dead Season 5 is expected to premiere this fall on AMC.
