Fans of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” should prepare themselves for some big changes in the coming season.

Showrunner Scott Gimple emphasized the reconfiguration of the series in a note 

"For a good while now, humans have been the bigger threat. At the start of our next season, that will change," he wrote after the Season 5 finale. 

“I said the show reinvents itself every eight episodes, and we’re doing it again,” Gimple said.

The production note, which was read aloud by Chris Hardwick on the "Walking Dead" discussion show "Talking Dead," as reported by Entertainment Weekly, said: “Now that these characters know they have what it takes to survive, what are they going to do with that power? How will they choose to live? Beyond answering those questions, we’re currently putting into motion some of our most ambitious stuff yet, and things are going to get very big, loud, and scary."

One of the ways that “The Walking Dead” will become even scarier and ambitions is by having the Wolves, which is a group of hostile survivors that were introduced in Season 5, become the main source of antagonism.

In an interview in Melty, Greg Nicotero, the co-executive producer, special make-up effects supervisor on the show, talked about the strength and determination of the Wolves by pointing out how they are basically using the people they kill as ammunition to create a zombie army.

Nicotero described the ominous mood these these bad guys bring to the show.

“We see them in Episode Nine when they get to Noah's neighborhood and we see the 'Wolves not far' in the background, and when the W-man at the beginning says to Morgan, 'Well, we're going to take you, too, but you're not exactly going to be alive,' we realize through the course of the episode that they are setting booby traps everywhere so that they can take people's possessions and then use them as a means to build the walkers in the traps, so it's kind of a diabolical plan," he said. 

Season 6 of "The Walking Dead" will air in October on AMC.
