Highlights from The Walking Dead panel at New York Comic Con

The cast and producers sat on stage for a one-hour panel at the New York Comic Con on Saturday to discuss the upcoming season of The Walking Dead.

Chris Hardwick moderated the panel for the New York Comic Con crowd at the Theater at Madison Square Garden during New York Comic Con for fans of The Walking Dead with a long row of seats on stage for the cast and producers of the show.

Andrew Lincoln was absent, but sent a letter to be read to the crowd. Thanks to the Twitter account for The Walking Dead from Skybound, we have some highlights from the panel to share with our readers.
