AMC released the official key art and synopsis from the highly-anticipated new season of “The Walking Dead,” premiering Sunday, October 7 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.
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.
Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, “The Walking Dead” reigns the number one drama on television among adults 18-49 for the last six seasons. The series is executive produced by chief content officer Scott M. Gimple, showrunner Angela Kang, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, Greg Nicotero, Tom Luse and Denise Huth.
