WARNING: The following contains possible spoilers for "The Walking Dead."
Season six of AMC's hit show "The Walking Dead" will feature Rick and Morgan together again at last.
At least, that's what series creator Robert Kirkman said at an NAB Show panel with AMC President Charlie Collier and star Stephen Yeun on Tuesday.
Krikman didn't get into specifics, but the writer and executive producer did say that the relationship between those two characters will be explored in the coming season.
"Having Rick and Morgan together, finally, again is a huge deal, and it's definitely going to be a big part of Season 6," Kirkman said.
"Now it's a very different Rick and a very different Morgan who are going to have a completely different relationship," he said. "And it's the questions of how they're going to interact, how they're going to work together - if they're going to work together - and what comes from those interactions is going to be basically the spine of season six."
Kirkman also hinted at a "lot of cool stuff" with Yeun's character Glenn next season, which may or may not including Glenn's gruesome death from the comics. Neither would confirm or deny.
"We don't kill the popular characters," Kirkman joked.
"If I go - that could happen," Yeun said.
If Glenn does get killed off, it won't just be for shock's sake.
"The way that we make the show - the writers and everybody really want to focus on making things poignant and purposeful and meaningful," Yeun said. "So if it were for Glenn to go, then it's probably going to be awesome."
Even if Glenn is the next major character to become zombie chow, Kirkcam and Collider are confident that "The Walking Dead" can continue long after he's gone.
"This isn't the kind of show where the creative team is going to say, 'It's important to us that we end it here,'" Kirkman said. "The story that we're trying to tell is so big, and the framework is set in the comics - I'm producing more than 12 issues a year. All of that stuff is stuff that we would like to someday adapt into the show.
"Our long term goal was to tell this unrealistically massive huge story, so by going season after season after season, we actually are maintaining the integrity of what we originally set out to do. So I think there's a possibility to go for many, many years."
