AMC has graciously released a few stills as well as the synopsis for The Walking Dead mid-season 7 premiere to give us a look at what’s to come!
Now that Rick has finally made the decision to stand up to Negan, it’s time for them to get a plan in place. Part of that will mean recruiting other communities to help them. Because let’s face it, Rick just doesn’t have enough people at Alexandria with the experience needed.
It looks like the second half of the season will bring even more communities than seen in the first half. Rick will seek help from Hilltop and the Kingdom but they’ll spread out even further to prepare for the war ahead. Perhaps Rick will even come across the mysterious person that was seen following him and Aaron?
Take a look at the stills from The Walking Dead mid-season 7 premiere:
Read the synopsis for the second half of The Walking Dead season 7 below:
“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.”
The Walking Dead is executive produced by showrunner Scott M. Gimple, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Greg Nicotero, Dave Alpert and Tom Luse.
