Glenn & Maggie’s Baby Makes Appearance in Latest Trailer for THE WALKING DEAD Season 9

The core cast of The Walking Dead may be dwindling in Season 9 with series mainstays Rick Grimes and Maggie Greene-Rhee (played by Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohan respectively) departing, but we’ve been told to expect new characters to refill the ranks. In addition to the mysterious Whisperers clan, we’ll have a baby in New Alexandria.

When the Season 9 debuts on AMC on October 7th, 18 months will have passed since “All Out War” ended in Season 8. This means that Maggie (who’s been pregnant with Glenn’s baby for 4 seasons) will have finally given birth. It’ll be nice to have a bundle of joy in the apocalyptic mix, but it’ll also be a sad reminder of Glenn’s untimely death, murdered by Negan and his barbwire-wrapped bat, Lucille.

It poses another potentially sad question: What will happen to the baby when Maggie leave the series?

Baby Green-Rhee makes his (or her?) first appearance in the latest trailer for The Walking Dead Season 9. While it conveys a mostly uplifting tone, we know that sustained peace is almost impossible to maintain in the world of The Walking Dead. Give the synopsis and latest trailer a look-see below.

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.
