Walking Dead Season 5 Spoilers, Plot Rumors: Official Synopsis and Sneak Peeks Released
AMC's hit post-apocalyptic horror drama TV series "The Walking Dead" is now set to return for another brand-new zombie-slashing season next month and fans are already hankering for updates and spoilers. Here's what we rounded up so far.
"Season Four of The Walking Dead ended with Rick and the group outgunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a train car awaiting a grim fate," a plot description began. "Season Five picks up shortly thereafter. What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group's lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive."
"Stories will break apart and intersect. The characters will find love and hate. Peace and conflict. Contentment and terror. And, in the quest to find a permanent, safe place to call home, one question will haunt them…After all they've seen, all they've done, all they've sacrificed, lost, and held on to no matter what the cost…Who do they become?" the synopsis continued.
Meanwhile, a fresh batch of promo photos for the forthcoming season show Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes, Chandler Riggs' Carl, Norman Reedus' Daryl Dixon, and more others. Also included is a creepy take of walkers that looks like they're reaching out to the screen.
Casting rumors has been confirmed that Seth Gilliam will join the fifth season's regular cast lineup as Father Gabriel Stokes. Furthermore, Andrew J. West, Alanna Masterson, and Christian Serratos have all been promoted to series regulars as Gareth, Tara Chambler, and Rosita Espinosa, respectively.
"The Walking Dead" Season 5 will have 16 episodes and will premiere on Oct. 12, 2014 with the pilot entitled "No Sanctuary."
