My name is Kirsten Acuna, and I'm an entertainment correspondent who covers "The Walking Dead" — AMA about reporting on the show, interviewing cast/crew, and theories about what's next.

Hi /r/thewalkingdead! My name is Kirsten Acuna and I’m an entertainment correspondent at INSIDER covering Disney, Marvel, and all things The Walking Dead.

I started watching the show during season two and have been a fan since. I’ve binge read all of Robert Kirkman’s comics in 2012 and read each new issue monthly as they come out. I started writing about the show for Business Insider in 2013 and have attended the series’ panels at both San Diego Comic-Con and New York Comic Con several years over.

This was the first year I’ve been able to go full head-on in my coverage as a writer. This season, I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with [Austin Amelio](http://www.thisisinsider.com/walking\-dead\-season\-8\-austin\-amelio\-interview\-2017\-10\) (Dwight), [Katelyn Nacon](http://www.thisisinsider.com/walking\-dead\-enid\-reacts\-to\-carl\-death\-2018\-3\) (Enid), [Steven Ogg](http://www.thisisinsider.com/walking\-deads\-steven\-ogg\-interview\-2018\-4\) (Simon), [Seth Gilliam](http://www.thisisinsider.com/the\-walking\-dead\-is\-father\-gabriel\-bit\-2017\-11\) (Father Gabriel), [Chandler Riggs](http://www.thisisinsider.com/walking\-dead\-carl\-death\-chandler\-riggs\-interview\-2018\-2\) (Carrrrl), [Pollyanna McIntosh](http://www.thisisinsider.com/walking\-dead\-pollyanna\-mcintosh\-interview\-2018\-4\), [Jayne Atkinson](http://www.thisisinsider.com/walking\-dead\-who\-is\-georgie\-2018\-3\) (Georgie), and [Greg Nicotero](http://www.thisisinsider.com/amc\-the\-walking\-dead\-why\-carl\-died\-2018\-2\). (I think that’s all of them!)

Now that season eight is over, I’m looking forward to see where the show goes next, especially with a new showrunner. So let’s talk Negan, Richonne, Lauren Cohan’s return, [that mysterious helicopter](http://www.thisisinsider.com/the\-walking\-dead\-helicopter\-2017\-11\), [and Heath](http://www.thisisinsider.com/the\-walking\-dead\-where\-is\-heath\-2017\-3\).

You can follow allowing with my coverage of “The Walking Dead” on [INSIDER’s website](http://www.thisisinsider.com/\) or follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit. I’m also on Twitter - [@KirstenAcuna](https://twitter.com/KirstenAcuna\) - and live tweet commentary and reactions during the show.
