And hes not alone.
What did that feel like?NORMAN REEDUS:Its exciting for us.
In some ways, it defines the future more.

Theres no patchwork trying to connect the dots when we can see the next dot in the future.
It kind of helps us, to be honest.
So, its been very beneficial to us, but also very helpful and a lot of fun.
We have that heavy impact weight upon us right now.
Theres a very heavy weight in the air while were filming.
You mentioned The Whisperers, and those of us that read the comics know about Alpha and that group.
Whats that been like?Its big.
And everybody knows thats coming, and everybody can feel that coming.
And I cant wait to do scenes with her, but shes bringing a heavy army behind her.
Were excited to work with her.
Its a lot to live up to, and everyones excited for the challenge.
So the stories this year are great, the scripts this year are better than theyve ever been.
And were excited to see it through, and were having a good time doing it.
This is gonna be one of our best seasons of all-time, without a doubt.
I mean Andy said the same thing, hes like, This season feels like season 1 right now.
So clearly Daryl wasnt too thrilled at the end of last season about the decision to keep Negan alive.
There are so many things to deal with.
But as far as Daryl, hes family first always with that guy.
And hell do anything and everything it takes.
Hes been given a lot to do.
His battles are being thrown at him left and right in all directions.
So youre gonna see many faces of Daryl for sure.
How is he feeling about the Saviors?Hes definitely not welcomed there.
And to be honest, he doesnt even give a s. Hes got other fish to fry.
Hows his relationship with Rick?
I love the episodes where those two characters go at it.
Because they dont just go at it with their fists, they really get real with each other.
And its the first time weve seen those characters really talk it out, you know?
Fight it out weve seen, and youre gonna see some more fighting it out.
But those two characters mean so much to each other, and they really are brothers.
I know everybody knows that.
But there becomes a real heart-to-heart couple moments this season that I just love those episodes.
Scott Gimple is still around, but Angela Kang is the new showrunner.
Theres sort of an open dialogue this year, Ive noticed.
And its not anything Ive spoken with anyone about, but I just kind of noticed as a fan.
Its such a weird thing with the media, and with spoiler websites and so forth like that.
Which we really do have a problem with that down here, I wont lie.
There really are people in the bushes with cameras, its really kind of annoying.
I dont think so, to be honest.
Everyones having fun, and everyones being given hard work to do.
And Scott still is very much a presence here.
And that flavor is really, really working, I have to say.
So you know, lets see how they turn out, cause Im excited.
