The gang is back together. And they’re ready to fight for their lives.
AMC’s “The Walking Dead” is coming back on Sunday night, February 12th to kick off the second half of its seventh season, and one thing we know for sure is that the new batch of episodes will primarily center on the group’s quest to join forces with other survivors and take the fight to Negan and his Saviors. Of course, we can guarantee things will get bloody along the way.
Just three weeks away from the premiere, AMC has shared a brand new teaser for the episodes to come; running just 15-seconds long, it’s not much, but it should hold you over until we have something more substantial to share. “Join us in fighting for freedom for all of us,” says Rick Grimes in the brief teaser, which feels like something of a topical message for our own world.
Check it out below.
Read on for the Season 7B synopsis…
The first half of Season 7 saw Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the group broken by Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), forced to fall under his will and brutally convinced to live under his rules. The second half of the season will focus on preparing for war and gathering the supplies and numbers to take Negan down once and for all.
Rick’s group will find out yet again that the world isn’t what they thought it was. It’s much bigger than anything they’ve seen so far. While they have a singular purpose – to defeat Negan – it won’t come easy. More importantly, victory will require more than Alexandria. They need the numbers of the Kingdom and the Hilltop, but, similar to how Rick felt, Ezekiel (Khary Payton) and Gregory (Xander Berkeley) do not want bloodshed. To convince them otherwise will take more than speeches. The lengths Rick and the group will have to go to in order to find weapons, food and new fighters is nothing short of remarkable.
We’ll meet new survivors in incredible places. We’ll see Rick and the group tested in ways we’ve never seen before. We’ll see treachery from people we trust. Rick is confident as he will see his group and many others band together with the common goal of taking down Negan. But no amount of planning will prepare the group for all-out war with Negan and his army.
