The Paley Center for Media’s 34th annual PaleyFest kicked off Friday at the Dolby Theatre with a session devoted to AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” Exec producer Scott Gimple gave fans a glimpse of what to expect in the final installments of season seven.

“The season finale will be a conclusion that promises an epic story ahead. It’s about setting up season eight but also beyond,” said Gimple.

Josh McDermitt, who plays the fan-favorite Eugene, talked about his character’s decision to align himself with the ultra-villainous Negan, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

“I don’t feel like he’s playing a game. I think he’s trying to protect himself,” McDermitt said. “Eugene is scared and a lot of it comes from Negan so he’s out looking for himself. And why not align yourself with the person who gives him the most fear? That’s how I see it.”
