Comic-Con is rolling out. The fervent bustle adds a hint of excitement to the air, something that big name television stars hold dearly. The jubilance of the fans help promote their shows and give them confidence as they head into their new seasons. AMC's "The Walking Dead" has taken full advantage of the opportunity by fueling the zombie flame and sharing insight and brand new footage.
"Things are going to be way crazier; it's an escalation," said comics creator Robert Kirkman while discussing the fourth season.
"It's been crazy. We did the first episode, I wrote it and it blew my mind," said showrunner Scott M. Gimple. He added that fans should prepare themselves for greater threats, not only with the zombies, but within all aspects of the show. "They might get a little comfortable but then things might get a little dangerous," he said.
The cast also shared their two cents on the forthcoming season. Star Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick, admitted that he will be in a completely different place when the show returns in October.
"We answer it this season," Lincoln said while discussing his relationship with his son Carl and how it will weigh on his conscious. "The relationship with Carl is integral to the beginning of the season from Rick. [Carl] turning into a sociopath at the end of the season woke him up to his parenting duties. You find Rick in a completely different place this season."
"The death of Andrea, combined with what happened with Carl was the catalyst to bring him to that point," Lincoln added. "The brutality of pushing people away in season three wasn't working for him and was cataclysmic for his family. When we meet them all in season four, there is a whole new community in the prison and friction between certain characters. It makes for incredible character-driven scenes."
"The Walking Dead" returns to AMC October 13. Check out a brand new trailer below.
