The Walking Dead season 8 to feature first 'fully nude' zombie walker

If there's one thing I'm sure we can all agree on, it's that there is not enough zombie genitals in The Walking Dead and it strains believability not having a Walker just being themselves and flaunting their curves.

Fortunately, this will be remedied in the second half of season 8 with, you guessed it, a nude walker. A "fully nude" walker at that.

“There’s an episode where we did our first fully nude walker. We’ve never done that before," executive producer Greg Nicotero told Entertainment Weekly.

Sadly, he didn't elaborate as to why the zombie will be naked, so we're left to imagine whether he or she will have just emerged from the shower or be getting beach body-ready in the Georgia sunshine.

It's not just walkers who have protected their modesty in the show thus far, which, curiously given the high levels of gore, shies away from nudity and only recently got a bit more relaxed about swearing.

The second half of The Walking Dead season 8 will arrive on 25 February.
