After enduring horrendous torture and being forced to eat dog food sarnies for tea, The Walking Dead's Daryl Dixon is out for revenge.

It seems things are going to get even more intense in the upcoming season eight, with the actor revealing Daryl is "going rogue" and "really not listening" to anyone else.

"You know, some of us are going rogue a little bit — like myself. There are a couple of rogue moments in there," Norman Reedus told Entertainment Weekly.

"Theres no dilly-dallying with him," he added."There's no grey area right now with him.

"He's on a mission to do one thing, and sometimes for the good of the group, you veer left a little bit, and he's still veering right.

"So, like I said, he's kind of going rogue a little bit in the beginning."

It's not the only teaser we've had recently about the upcoming season, with the news that the focus is shifting to more characters per episode; oh, and there's loads more killing.

So no doubt Daryl will be getting that revenge, then.

Reedus also recently revealed that the character was meant to be a racist drug addict, but he managed to convince bosses to tone it down a bit.

The Walking Dead launches its eighth season on October 22 on AMC in the US and October 23 on FOX in the UK.
