The Season 8 trailer should be coming next month at San Diego Comic-Con, and the site asked Marquand if he thought they could outdo the Season 7 trailer. Marquand nodded, and told ComicBook, "I think, I mean, for as cool as the tiger is, we all love Shiva, but I think what we've got to show here in Season 8 is going to trump everything that we've ever done on the show by far."
The cast can't share specifics, beyond the obvious plot point that Season 8 will follow the All Out War between Team Negan and Team Rick, picking up from the Season 7 finale. But Marquand did tease, "I think with what we're capturing so far I think it's going to be the best season so far of the show. I think it's so, so well crafted." He said every episode has blown him away, "and I think it is going to raise the stakes even higher than the show has ever gone before, which is saying a lot considering the stake-rising we've been doing every single year for the last seven."
The Season 8 premiere will also mark the 100th episode of the series, and we've been promised it will be "super exciting" and "really, really satisfying" with a ton of action. Here's a minor spoiler on the premiere, if you're interested in that sort of thing.
"The Walking Dead" Season 8 starts airing this October on AMC.
