AMC's 'The Walking Dead' wrapped up its fifth season in a major way this Sunday with it's 90 minute special. While the series is known to kill off major characters at the end of seasons, this one wasn't as bold in that regard.

Executive producer Gale Ann Hurd sats down with EW to discuss the course of the season and its epic finale. Regarding picking sides Hurd responds:

"You know, we have a few surprises up our sleeve-I would throw that out there. But yes, we're seeing more of the division, not only among the Alexandrians and our group, but within our group as well."

The premise of this recent season was the adjustment of the characters in a civilized environment after being out in the wild for so long. Hurd was asked how she felt about the switch, she stated:

"I think it was a mixture of fear and enthusiasm. Fear, because our team has been on the road so long. They have been surviving day to day. Really it was about: Will we have enough food? Will we have enough water? And can we survive the bad guys that we've encountered, too? An even, as it turns out, more significant question is, how can they survive civilization? And are they able to adapt? And are there enough stories there to keep it interesting? And as we found out, there certainly are."

In her final words on the finale she states:

"You can rest assured that not only walker blood will be spilled, but there will be a few surprises and some sad losses that no one, I think, will be able to predict."
