Watch The First 5-Minutes of THE WALKING DEAD Season 9
If you’re excited about the return of The Walking Dead, I’ve got something you might want to check out today. The first five-minutes of The Walking Dead Season 9 have been released online and it’s gives us a great set up for the upcoming season and what we can expect.
The first episode of the season is called "A New Beginning" and this first five minutes quickly gets us up to speed on several of the characters and the new setting of the series. Those characters include Rick Grimes, Michonne, Judith, Daryl, Aaron, Jesus, and more.
I like what I’ve seen from the upcoming season so far. I know a lot of people think the series should just die already, but it still has a big fan base and we are going to get at least ten more years of The Walking Dead.
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.
The Walking Dead Season 9 premieres with Rick Grimes' final episodes beginning October 7th on AMC in the US and October 8 on FOX in the UK.
