Full Details on AMC’s The Walking Dead: Journey So Far Retrospective Special
We’ve known for a while that AMC is airing a retrospective on the past six seasons of “The Walking Dead” a week before it returns for Season 7, but details have been scarce. Now we know a bit more…
From the Press Release:
In preparation for the highly-anticipated Season 7 premiere of “The Walking Dead,” AMC will air the two-hour retrospective “The Walking Dead: Journey So Far” on Sunday, October 16, at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. During the special fans can get up close and personal with the cast as they tell the stories of their characters from the moment they were introduced to where they were when last season ended. Clips from the most pivotal moments in series history will be intercut between cast and executive producer interviews.
Season by season, from the moment Rick wakes up in the hospital (as told by Andrew Lincoln), all the way to the excruciating first swing of Negan’s bat (told by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and others in the lineup), the story of “The Walking Dead” will be told by those who have lived it. “The Walking Dead: Journey So Far” gives viewers who have never seen an episode of “The Walking Dead” a chance to get all caught up on the plot, characters, locations, and unique terminology of the series as well as providing fans who‘ve never missed a moment with fresh interviews with the series’ producers and their favorite actors as part of an exciting refresher course that will further whet their appetite for the new season.
The first half of Season 7 sees the group fractured, broken, bereaved, and picking up the pieces while living under the thumb of oppression. Negan will have successfully brought the survivors under his will, brutally convincing them to live under his rules with a deadly and horrific example of what happens if they don’t.
“The Walking Dead” is executive produced by Robert Kirkman, showrunner Scott M. Gimple, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, Greg Nicotero, and Tom Luse.
“The Walking Dead” returns Sunday, October 23. After a mid-season break, the show will be back in February 2017.
