"The Walking Dead" crew is continuing its hard work on Season 5.

This week, Greg Nicotero, producer for "The Walking Dead," told Yahoo TV that they are currently shooting Episode 8, the midseason finale.

"... what's exciting about moving into Season 5 is we continue that exploration into who these people are, and it's thrilling," he said. "... so for the first time in two seasons, it put our entire group in jeopardy on the road, and that hadn't happened since they left Hershel's farm at the end of Season 2."

Season 5 also marks the first time Monty Simons has worked on the show. The stunt coordinator has previously worked on "Spider-Man 2," "Captain America: The Winter Solider," "Thor" and "Hellboy."

"When I first got involved with the show, I went back and watched the series from the beginning," he told the AMC TV blog. "It's so unique in that each day you sit down to watch, you're mentally involved. Your favorite character could die at any moment. ... Scott Gimple and the producers on this show are some of the bravest in Hollywood."

According to Simons, although this is the show's fifth season killing zombies, the task is not an easy one from a stunt coordinator's standpoint.

"Almost daily as we're killing walkers, it's become commonplace to see a walker get stabbed in the head or shot, but each one is its own little work of art," he explained. "The logistics of a knife being in somebody's brain and how a hand would hold the knife buried in somebody is all one big choreographed move. Each one of these kills becomes its own little scenario that we have to watch very closely."

Season 5 of "The Walking Dead" begins on AMC on Oct. 12 at 9 p.m.
