The Walking Dead’s Greg Nicotero told the audience at a New York Comic-Con panel that The Walking Dead season 8 premiere episode will have an Easter egg that sharp-eyed fans should be looking for.

He said that somewhere in the season 8 premiere on October 22, 2017, there will be a shot-for-shot recreation of a scene fans will recognize from a previous episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead.

Here is that announcement from a Tweet shared from the official Twitter account of The Walking Dead:

The season 8 premiere is the 100th episode of the show. Nicotero and Scott Gimple have both mentioned in the past at the season 8 premiere will feature some callbacks and references to earlier events in the series. Looks like the scene recreation could be one of those surprises that fans are looking forward to.

The season 8 The Walking Dead premiere is one of the most highly anticipated episodes of the series. After season 7 started off on such a brutal note fans are excited to celebrate the start of season 8 and to celebrate 100 episodes.

What Scene Will Be Recreated

Giving Back To The Fans

AMC has been pulling out all the stops to celebrate The Walking Dead’s achievement of reaching 100 episodes. They launched a fan rewards program. And they are giving away 10 all expenses paid trips to The Walking Dead season 8 premiere and live taping of Talking Dead in LA to fans who submit their Walking Dead inspired fan art.
