Negan is back, and he's making a promise nobody wants him to keep in the first trailer for The Walking Dead's eighth season.
Negan is back, and he's making a promise nobody wants to see him keep in the first trailer for The Walking Dead's eighth season.
Much of the mostly dialogue-free trailer gives fans exactly what they expect and want -- lots of shots of Rick, Michonne, Darryl, Ezekiel and the rest of the cast preparing for war, fighting walkers and just, well, surviving. The trailer's second half includes an inspiring speech by Rick, scenes of Daryl blowing things up, and a brief bit of sparring between Jesus and Morgan, all over the sounds of the Dropkick Murphy's "Prisoner's Song."

Perhaps the biggest surprise is the trailer's post-title scene, which appears to flash forward several years to a once again fully-bearded Rick, being startled from his sleep, a fancy walking cane by his bed. This would indicate that the series will be making a leap forward this season, much like the comic did with the "A New Beginning" story arc, which saw the title skip ahead two full years after the final battle in the "All Out War" arc.
Returning to AMC for its eighth season on October22, The Walking Dead is a production of Skybound Entertainment starring Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, Chandler Riggs as Carl Grimes, Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon, Melissa McBride as Carol Peleteir, Lauren Cohan as Maggie Green and Danai Gurira as Michonne.
Stephen Gerding has been a part of CBR for over fifteen years, starting as a part-time freelancer in 2005 and working his way up to his current role as Senior News Editor. Over the years, he's been involved in the site's multiple Eisner Award wins, wile helping to define its voice and visual look. He's also seen the site go through multiple changes, including the launch of the Eisner Award-winning Robot 6 blog, expanding from covering comics to all aspects of pop culture, and the biggest evolution when it transformed from Comic Book Resources to CBR. Stephen has been reading comics for as long as he's been, well, reading. After nearly a decade of stealing copies of classic comics by Kirby, Lee, Swan, Fox, Romita and more from his father's collection, his love of comics fully kicked in when he bought Avengers #232 from a spinner rack at Seven-Eleven. Eventually, when the opportunity arose to actually write about comics, it was a no-brainer. That he's still able to do so years later is a dream come true.
