THE WALKING DEAD Season 5 Will Take the Group to the City
We're in for a really crazy ride when The Walking Dead Season 5 returns to AMC on October 12th. We don't know exactly where this next season is going to take these characters or what they are going to have to go through, but thanks to producer Gale Anne Hurd, we do know that it will take the group back to the city environment.
Hurd recently told EW that Season 5 will be more of an urban setting, and will feature a place ominously known as The City Of The Dead.
"The show has spent a lot of time in primarily rural settings. But you’re never going to find the cure to the zombie apocalypse in the sticks. Now with them embarking on a mission, they have to reenter what we call the City of the Dead."
Hurd goes on to say that the stakes will be raised due to the new situations these characters find themselves in, saying,
"There are many cities of the dead that they’ll have to encounter to complete their mission. So not only does it make it more difficult because of the number of walkers, but also there are more hiding places in which human antagonists can lurk. So, however stiff and difficult the stakes have been up until this season, now they’ve been raised even further."
The mission is obviously to get the character Eugene Porter to Washington D.C. to help find a cure for the zombie epidemic that plagues the world. This will be the first time in a long time that a city will be featured in the series. I am so excited for this show to return!
