“The Walking Dead” Will Return for Its 10th Season on October 6th; Trailer Tomorrow!
As it does every year on Friday afternoon, the very first trailer for the new season of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” will premiere out of San Diego Comic-Con tomorrow, and ahead of the trailer we’ve just learned when exactly the new season will be premiering on AMC.
“The Walking Dead” returns on Sunday, October 6th at 9pm!
The only logline we have for Season 10 at this time is the following:
In the fight against the Whisperers, there’s no going back.
Showrunner Angela Kang recently teased, “Things are going to pick up with a little bit more of a time passage, not a giant one like we’ve had, but winter will be over and people will be going to be in a different emotional space. I’m working on the premiere, and we’re gonna, I don’t know… I’m crazy. I was like, ‘Let’s just do snow’ which is actually impossible to do. So there’s other stuff in [the season 10 premiere] where I’m like, I must be psychotic, because let’s just do more stuff we’ve never done on this show that feels impossible. That’s part of the fun of the show.”
She continued, “Obviously, there are some problems to be worked out with the Whisperers, these crazy neighbors that come in and out and cause chaos in their world. That’s something to play out, and obviously there will be other storylines that are kind of intersecting with all of this. It’s always fun to have more than one thing going on at once. We’ll find out how this radio voice, what they have to do with our people and their world. We’re having fun working on the pieces of this season, so hopefully it will go well. I’m knocking on a lot of wood.”
You’ll find the trailer right here on BD as soon as we’ve got it.
