‘The Walking Dead’ Season 7 Premiere Date and Trailer Unveiled

The Walking Dead returned to Comic-Con Friday and came with presents for the fans. The cast revealed the new trailer for season 7 and announced it will return for its 16-episode seventh season at 9 PM ET on October 23.

“It’s absolutely worth the wait,” executive producer Robert Kirkman said of the revealing Season 7 opener directed by fellow EP Greg Nicotero. Added EP Gale Anne Hurd: “There might be some interesting non-human characters as well.”

Said star Andrew Lincoln: “We all link arms, it’s a really sh*tty start to the season, but hang on because we are heading to one of the greatest showdowns of the show.”

Jeffrey Dean Morgan was there along with TWD stars Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Lauren Cohan, Steven Yeun, Danai Gurira, Chandler Riggs, Sonequa Martin-Green, Michael Cudlitz, Josh McDermitt, Ross Marquand, and Christian Serratos. Hurd was also there with Kirkman, Nicotero and fellow EPs Scott M. Gimple and Dave Alpert.

As before, TWD season 7 will be broken up with the show returning for the final eight episodes of the run in February. No specific date for TWD S7B was given Friday at the fanfest.

Leading up to the premiere episode helmed by Greg Nicotero, AMC will air a behind-the-scenes The Walking Dead Season 7 Preview Special on August 14 and a two-hour retrospective with the working title of The Walking Dead Recap Special on October 16.
