THE WALKING DEAD cast have already begun filming the eighth season of the highly-anticipated zombie epic, and today show-makers shared a first glimpse of the action with a behind-the-scenes photo.

Showrunner Gale Anne Hurd delighted fans with picture of herself beside Daryl Dixon star Norman Reedus, 48, from the looming eighth cycle.
“Getting the family back together again is truly the very best,” she wrote alongside the particularly smiley photo from The Walking Dead set, which immediately sent fans into meltdown.
“YES!!! Have fun and let's kick Negans a**,” cried one devoted follower, as another beamed: “Hell yeahhh! Can't wait for season 8!!!”
A third followed: “Ahhhhhh can't wait for next season,” before one more begged: “Yaaaaay share more pics from set please.”

The post comes after Chandler Riggs, 17, caused a similar reaction when he revealed he’d read his script of the opening episode of season eight, and tweeted: “oooo man it's good.”
Naturally, what's in store for Rick Grimes and the gang will be kept a closely guarded secret until The Walking dead hits screens later this year.
However, producer Scott Gimple recently admitted that after losing Glenn, Abraham and Sasha in season seven, Rick will be entering the next cycle with vengeance; even hinting the leading protagonist would “sacrifice” himself to kill barbarian Negan.

“[Rick] will suffer any loss, even his own self to give his people and other people the life that they should live, where the world belongs to all of them and not just one person. A real life,” he told TV Line. “That’s the only choice. So he’s willing to face the losses.”
What’s more, Negan star Jeffrey Dean Morgan, 51, recently teased that two massive fan favourites could be getting the chop.
The Walking Dead returns to AMC later this year.
