The Walking Dead to Feature First "Fully Nude" Walker in Season 8

We've seen underwater walkers and hill-rolling walkers; flaming walkers and parachuting walkers; but a fully nude walker? No, you're not reading a promo post for a PornHub or Cinemax take-off of The Walking Dead; we're talking about the actual AMC series, set to return for the second-half of its eighth season later this month. Executive producer Greg Nicotero has let it be known that in the midst of Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his coalition's last stand against Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and the Saviors, viewers will witness their very first "au naturel" walker.

In an earlier interview with Entertainment Weekly, Nicotero revealed, "There's an episode where we did our first fully nude walker. We've never done that before." The Walking Dead and zombie fetishists will have to wait a little longer to learn the walker's gender — and whether or not "fully nude" means full-frontal nudity.

The Walking Dead returns to AMC for the second-half of Season 8 on Sunday, February 25th at 9 p.m. ET.

Here's the most recent mid-season trailer for the second-half of The Walking Dead's eighth season, along with the official AMC synopsis:

All out war has had a devastating impact on every person involved. The communities themselves are fractured. Alexandria has been destroyed, the Hilltop finds themselves pinned, and the Kingdom is shattered — half of them dead, the other half controlled by the Saviors.

At the very center — Rick, having been distracted by the conflict, has just returned home to learn that Carl, who heroically shepherded the Alexandrians to safety during Negan's attack, has been bitten by a walker. Once his sole motivation in this otherwise stark existence, Rick is forced to deal with this reality. Carl has always been a beacon of hope, a symbol for the remaining thread of humanity — lessons that the survivors around him would be wise to take with them as this war surges onward.

But Rick isn't the only person who's living in peril. Aaron and Enid are in a dire situation at Oceanside — unclear if they're in friendly territory, or if they've just made new enemies. Father Gabriel will do his part in attempting to smuggle Dr. Carson safely back to the Hilltop and a pregnant Maggie is wrestling with the many moral gray areas that come with leadership during war. In a standoff with the Saviors, she must decide how to proceed with the dozens of POW lives she's currently in control of, as well as new complications that come with being a leader.

In addition to the war, Negan continues to deal with struggles within his ranks as workers, traitors, and others' thirst for power cause conflict at the Sanctuary. Having gifted the Saviors a major victory, Eugene's loyalty is repeatedly tested as new obstacles present themselves.

As all-out-war consumes us, the line between good and evil continues to blur. People fighting for what they believe in. Everybody working together for something bigger — to feel safe and have a world worth living in.
