The Walking Dead teases TV’s first “fully nude” zombie—sorry, walker

Entertainment Weekly spoke with the Walking Dead FX wizard and EP about what’s in store for viewers going into the second half, and (surprise) we’ll see Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Michonne (Danai Gurira), and the other Alexandria folks defend themselves from a pissed-off Negan. Nicotero reiterated the show’s central questions—“[I]t’s always, what are we fighting for? Any war in the history of mankind has always been based on what are we fighting for?—before getting into the good stuff. “There’s an episode where we did our first fully nude walker,” he told EW. “We’ve never done that before,” highlighting the modesty of the Georgian undead.

Nicotero didn’t reveal any specifics about this au naturel zombie—sorry, walker—such as whether or not there’ll be a full frontal shot. But bare-assed zombies date back to George Romero’s Night Of The Living Dead, so once again, The Walking Dead treads a familiar path.
