Showrunner David Zabel confirmed that Season 4 had already started filming three weeks ago. He described it as a “super-sized season,” calling it an emotional wrap-up for the Daryl and Carol journey abroad.

Walking Dead czar Scott M. Gimple believes the franchise can endure for upwards of another 15 years, so long as the characters remain great.
