THE WALKING DEAD Season 9 First Look Leaks Online And Features A Ruined Washington D.C.
An unexpected first look at The Walking Dead has found its way online ahead of Comic-Con and it features a new look at Rick Grimes, Daryl, and Maggie in the ruins of Washington D.C. Check it out...
The Walking Dead season nine will mark the end of Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohan's tenure in the AMC series and speculation is running rampant about how each of their characters will be written out of the show as the spotlight is shifted to Daryl instead. In the meantime, Fox Brazil Tweeted and deleted a first look at what comes next and you guys can check that out in the Instagram post below.
As you can see, Rick Grimes is rocking a beard and the action has been moved to Washington D.C. That's an area which has been referenced countless times in the TV show and comic books but we've never paid a visit there. While they were based in Ohio in the source material, there's a good chance that this could have something to do with the Commonwealth, a group introduced in season eight.
We should get some officially released artwork soon and the trailer will inevitably debut during Comic-Con as that always happens with The Walking Dead. What do you guys think of this leaked first look?
