What will happen in The Walking Dead season 8?

It’s thought that the new season will pick up with season seven ended which showed Rick and his group take their stand against Negan and the Saviors.

The show creator, Robert Kirkman, has also commented that in season 8 “we’re trying to do a more fast-paced season, a more action-packed season, really focusing on momentum, and we feel like over the first seven season we kind of set all of the characters into place, and now it’s time to break them to a certain extent”.
