Warning Spoilers Below

We were promised a brand new big bad for the Walking Dead and it's looks like we got it. For months, producers and others close to show have been teasing a new threat for this season and it has finally been revealed. Showrunner Scott Gimple previously told the Hollywood Reporter about the upcoming danger:

"It's someone we haven't seen before. Someone unusual; you can't stab them in the face, you can't reason with it. It's a force that would be dangerous in this world and in the world of The Walking Dead, it's terrifying.”

Now in a new, post premiere, interview, Gimple is answering questions about the seasons shocking revelation that a walker flu is spreading, telling THR:

"It is safe to say Patrick died of what ever that was. The walker that was at the fence that we saw was rather fresh; he's not very rotted. I would intuit that because it's a fresh zombie, that the person who died recently was by the same method Patrick died."

Adding that the new threat is inescapable:

"If that zombie died of the same thing that Patrick did, and Patrick said he was feeling ill, that would mean you'd want to stay away from those zombies as well. So standing up against the fence and smashing and stabbing them in the face, there's a great deal of blood flying everywhere. It's very bad news and presents potentially a very difficult situation beyond the simple difficulty of being around other people, which you have to be."
