AMC has debuted some ominous new key art for the upcoming ninth season of The Walking Dead, along with character portraits of the rest of the main players and a lengthy synopsis confirming the time-jump...
Could this be the last time we ever see Rick Grimes on a poster for The Walking Dead?
It's been confirmed that Andrew Lincoln will be leaving the long-running zombie survival drama after this upcoming season, and AMC has debuted some key art which bathes the former lawman in ominous red.
A sign that Rick's destined for a bloody end, perhaps? There is always the possibility that he rides off into the sunset, but happy endings are few and far between on this show.
Check out the poster below along with a batch of strangely serene character banners and a lengthy new 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 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.
