Carl Grimes had long hoped to cool the heated feud between his father and the former leader of The Saviors; now that he’s gone, however, the mutual hatred between Rick and Negan is bound to boil over.
Synopsis:
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 of 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.
Scott M. Gimple has retreated into the background as series supervisor, leaving the day-to-day operations to new showrunner Angela Kang. And while we’re expecting to meet new characters in The Walking Dead Season 9, we’ll also be saying goodbye to a couple of series mainstays. Andrew Lincoln who plays Rick Grimes and Lauren Cohan who plays Maggie Greene-Rhee will be leaving the show for good.
