Robert Kirkman: Season 5 Will Be The Best Yet
By Adam Carlson
Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead always knows how to get fans of the show hungry for more. With season 5 still about 3 months away, we need as much information as possible on the upcoming season to help us keep from going crazy with anticipation.
Recently, Robert Kirkman spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the upcoming season and dropped this big quote on us:
"Robert Kirkman on the red carpet for the AMC premiere of The Walking DeadIn our first episode, it’s very much going to focus on the story of Terminus. There’s a lot of big revelations that haven’t really come out that I think people are gonna be pretty startled by. There’s a couple other revelations that I think people might’ve gotten a little bit of a lead on. We’ll definitely be defining those in some cool ways and confirming some theories and shooting down others, which is very exciting. But I think the coolest thing about coming back to season 5 is that we really hit the ground running. What I mean by that is that we very quickly deal with the situation that we left them in — this trapped, victim situation where they’re kind of at the mercy of the people of Terminus. We really kind of expand the story from there very rapidly, so I think this is going to be a pretty fast-paced season with quite a bit going on. News is already out that Seth Gilliam has been added, and we’re bringing in new characters like we always do, and I think season 5 is going to be our best season yet. I think when people finally see the premiere, they’ll see what I’m talking about."
So, it sounds like Terminus will be the major focus point early on in season 5 and that we’ll see a lot of action within the confines of the “sanctuary”. Fans who were critical of season 4 for a lack of fast paced action should be happy with that news since it looks like we’ll have fast and furious action early.
