In less than two weeks AMC's "The Walking Dead" will be taking over our Sunday nights again. The fifth season kicks off Oct. 12 and showrunner Scott Gimple recently dished to Entertainment Weekly about Terminus, Beth and new characters being added.

Check out highlights from the interview below:

Beth's storyline will definitely be addressed:

"I can say Beth is alive, for sure, I can say that. I'm really happy when people ask me where Beth is. I go, 'There she is. She's right there!' She's in a place, in a situation, that looks fairly intense to me. She does seem very much apart from our characters. Seems to be on her own path. And she takes quit a hit at the end, it seems"

There could be a little romance between Abraham and Rosita:

"You will be seeing more of that this season. That is absolutely an element this season. People who like the comic will recognize it, and people who don't like the comic, they won't miss it. They will be like, 'Whoa, okay that is happening'"

New characters added from both the comic books by Robert Kirkman and made-up ones:  

"We are going to see a bunch of new characters, people of significance to the show, even during the first half of the season. Yes some people from [the comics], a bunch of people not from. And yeah, they're gonna be super significant. There's that. Oh, and there might be a bleeped-out swear word"

The walkers will be grotesque and disgusting:

"And I will say, on the walker front, there are some unbelievable walkers this season. They've gotten more and more insane. [Greg Nicotero's] doing great work. Great, disgusting, horrible work"

The people at Terminus may or may not be the hunters:

"There is stuff from the comics this season, there is also some stuff that is very much from the imagination of the writers, who include Robert Kirkman, that is not from the comics. It can be inspired by the comics, it can be totally different from the comics. Terminus simply wasn't in the comics, and it's its own thing. It might circle back to aspects of the comic, it might be more of a long road to other things in the comic"
