The Walking Dead just shuffled out into its Season 8 premiere earlier this week on AMC with the inevitable war with Negan beginning to take form. This debut episode also marked the hit horror survival show's landmark 100th chapter and serves as a reflective point for many of the cast and crew.

SYFY WIRE attended the red carpet premiere gala in Hollywood and chatted with executive producers Greg Nicotero, Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple and the cast about paying tribute to events, images and sequences from the past, character mindsets, getting nostalgic over the past seven seasons, and starting the show out with a small victory for Team Rick.

Listen in and tell us if you're excited for this reset season of The Walking Dead.
