We're still several months away from the return of AMC's hit series "The Walking Dead" and everyone is wondering what we can expect from season 4 of the ratings juggernaut. Now we've gotten some insight as to what the future holds for the survivors from Daryl Dixon himself, Norman Reedus, who recently spoke with EW about the currently shooting season.

Reedus says of the upcoming season…

"The scripts this season are just amazing. It feels like we’ve shot about three movies already. It’s super intense.”

Reedus also backs up exec producer Gale Anne Hurd’s comment about the zombies becoming more of a threat when the show returns.

“They’ve introduced a way to make the zombies scary again. They’re terrifying. The new threat is just unreal.”

Reedus also tells people not to worry about the show now being on its third showrunner in four seasons, with Scott Gimple replacing Glen Mazzara (who replaced Frank Darabont). Says the star…

“The structure of the writing is a bit different. It’s so intense. These are our best scripts so far.”

"The Walking Dead" returns this fall to AMC. As always, we'll keep you up-to-date on news regarding everyone's favorite zombie-themed show as the news rolls in.
