Amid the fallout from The Walking Dead's season four finale, showrunner Scott Gimple has teased what to expect from the next series on the live talk show Talking Dead, saying it will go to 'new places' beyond Terminus.
The AMC zombie drama reached the endof its latest batch of episodes last night, seeing Rick, Michonne, Carl, Glenn, Maggie, Tara, Sasha, Bob, Abraham, Rosita and Eugene trapped at Terminus - but season five will not be dwelling there for long.
"We're really excited about it. The writers are working very hard," Gimple told Talking Dead presenter Chris Hardwick of the next season. "We're looking at all the new places we're going. It's going to be an incredible season. It's going to be completely different from this year."
The writer and current showrunner was joined by actor Andrew Lincoln on the discussion show, where he added that it is safe to assume that Carole, Tyreese and Beth are still out in the world and may not be stuck at Terminus.
"I've got to get going," he said. "I'm just going to be listening to a lot of AC/DC and turning tables over and that kind of thing."
"You guys have only just found out," he told the audience of season four's twist ending. "We cannot wait to get back to work. We've had so many emails from whoever's left, everybody pinging to each other... just to get it going... It's hard, this show, but that's the way we love it."
