[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This upcoming season of The Walking Dead is going to be a tearjerker. Not only do we have Maggie Rhee leaving the show after being on it since season two, but the AMC series is losing its main lead. Rick Grimes, the character that the show essentially centers around; will most likely meet a sad end to its long-run as leader of the survivors. Due to family reasons, actor Andrew Lincoln has made the decision to make season nine his last and we’ll all miss him. Even though TWD has so many storylines to it, it’ll still feel strange to not have him around.
In a recent article, we now have promotional art and a synopsis that you can read below:
Last season brought the culmination of “All Out War,” which pitted Rick Grimes and his group of survivors against the Saviors and their cunning leader, Negan. With Negan’s life in his hands, Rick had a character-defining choice in front of him. By making the unilateral decision to spare Negan, Rick upheld the values his late son, Carl, championed in order to build for the future, but created conflict within his group.
Now, we see our survivors a year and a half after the end of the war, rebuilding civilization under Rick’s steadfast leadership. It is a time of relative peace among the communities as they work together, looking to the past to forge the future, but the world they knew is rapidly changing as man-made structures continue to degrade, and nature takes over, changing the landscape and creating new challenges for our survivors.
As time passes, the communities confront unexpected obstacles, danger, and of course, walkers, but nothing quite prepares them for the formidable force they are about to encounter, which threatens the very idea of civilization that our survivors have worked so hard to build.
After an 18th month jump, we’ll see how our survivors have been fairing, and from what we can read above, things are only about to get harder for everyone with the introduction of The Whisperers.
What are your feelings regarding all the changes we know will happen in season 9?
The Walking Dead returns October 7th.
