The Walking Dead presence at SDCC is going to be slightly scaled back this year. In the wake of the death of stuntman John Bernecker on set recently the cast will not be doing any appearances except the panel discussion.

Investigations into the accident that caused his death are ongoing. Production on season 8 was shut down briefly after the accident. But production resumed this week and filming for the rest of season 8 is continuing.
