We’ve been hearing over and over again that the upcoming ninth season of “The Walking Dead” will be injecting some sorely needed freshness into the long-running AMC series, and star Norman Reedus makes that very same promise in a new chat with the official “Walking Dead” website. Reedus also says Season 9 will be “scarier” than previous seasons.

It’s fresh and it’s new and the direction (of the show) is different,” Reedus told the site. “We have a ton of new writers, who are mostly all female. Ton of new directors that are also almost all female. It’s a different vibe on set, so it’s stronger. It’s more emotional, it’s more clever. It seems scarier. Our show is an entirely fresh take on (The Walking Dead). It’s great.

Reedus added, “The sets are different, the camera-work is different, the writers are different, the actors are different. The vibe on set is a completely different energetic vibeThe quality got a lot better this season. It’s become smarter. It’s become more emotional.”

The new season marks Angela Kang‘s debut as the series’ new showrunner, which no doubt accounts for the fresh vibe on set. Hopefully, that translates to a fresh vibe on our screens.

In Season 9…

“We meet up with our survivors a year and a half after the war with Negan, and the world they knew is rapidly changing.”

“The Walking Dead” will return on October 7.
