What does The Walking Dead season 8 synopsis tell us?
There’s a full synopsis of The Walking Dead season 8 on AMC’s website ahead of The Walking Dead preview special on Sunday, September 10.
You can feel the excitement buzzing in the air about the return of The Walking Dead for the show’s sure-to-be-thrilling eighth season. And if the fires aren’t stoked already, AMC is rolling out a synopsis of the season ahead of the big preview.
Here’s the complete synopsis from AMC:
"“Last season, Rick Grimes and his group of survivors were confronted with their deadliest challenge yet. With the comfort of Alexandria, they let their guard down, only to be reminded how brutal the world they live in can be.Feeling powerless under Negan’s rules and demands, Rick advocated the group play along. But seeing that Negan couldn’t be reasoned with, Rick began rallying together other communities affected by the Saviors. And with the support of the Hilltop and Kingdom, they finally have enough fire power to contest the Saviors.This season, Rick brings “All Out War” to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless — but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it’s not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom — Negan and the Saviors’ grip on this world may finally be coming to an end.”"
We’ve already heard from quite a few cast members who have teased that season 8 will feature lots of deaths, which is to be expected not only because it’s the world of The Walking Dead but because there is going to be a colossal battle. Losses are to be expected. But the big question is who will we lose?
