Thats what we learned when speaking to Lauren Cohan at our recentEWWalking Deadcover shoot.

We asked her what to expect from season 8 of the zombie drama.

Season 8 oh my God, were going to see so much, Cohan said.

I feel like youre going to see the group recentered with a very definite plan to move forward.

Its a really difficult period, a lot of difficult decisions have to be made hard decisions.

But theres this giant plan that were rolling out, and thats to really set up a new world.

Because now were taking care of Negan and taking care of life so we can have one.

According to Cohan, that means the stuff is about to hit the proverbial fan.

Its really gnarly, she said.

I mean, its war.

We have all our different factions and communication pushing forward to make a run at get what we need.

Tons of action this season.

We saw everybody sort retreat and retract, and now we have the slingshot.

We send our warriors outward and we formulate this plan, and then go out and decimate.

Decimate on, Lauren Cohan!
