Walking Dead's Norman Reedus Says 'Bite Me' on 'EW' Cover

Norman Reedus looks sweaty and dangerous in his “Bite Me” tank on the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly.

Here’s what the cast and crew had to share with the mag about The Walking Dead‘s midseason premiere:

Showrunner Scott M. Gimple on changes: “The story will shift quite a bit. We are going to see a show that in its look and circumstances is very, very different from what we’ve seen.”

Creator Robert Kirkman on the premiere episode: “That is going to be a fan-favorite episode in a lot of ways, and it’s going to be a fan-hated episode in a lot of ways. Because it is somewhat brutal. But there’s a lot of magic in that as well. It’s going to be very unique.”

Star Andrew Lincoln on newcomers: “I think by the end of the season we’re carrying more characters than we’ve ever had in the whole other five years.”
