Get ready for more talk with Chris Hardwick! Fans of The Walking Dead know him as the host of Talking Dead, but now he will be on the air when The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead are not in season.

Talking with Chris Hardwick will premiere on April 9, and AMC announced the first guests of the series in a new press release. Check that out below.

Additional guests will be announced soon. Talking with Chris Hardwick premieres on Sunday, April 9 at 11:00 p.m.

Produced by Embassy Row, each episode of Talking with Chris Hardwick features an in-depth conversation between Hardwick and a single guest or cast, highlighting Hardwick’s singularly irreverent and authentic take on today’s pop culture landscape. Compared with a typical 5 or 10-minute talk show interview, Talking with Chris Hardwick will leverage the host’s gift for deep conversation, on display in his popular podcast. The show will also have a strong social media presence and live audience interactivity, giving fans a new destination to celebrate their favorite pop culture icons.
