'The Walking Dead' trailer teases introduction of 'The Whisperers' for upcoming season 9
'The Walking Dead' panel at this week's San Diego International Comic-Con was arguably one of the most awaited, and fans were not disappointed. The first trailer for the upcoming season 9 of the post-apocalyptic trailer dropped, and at 5-and-a-half minutes long, it was packed with information on how events may unfold. While there were no clues to how Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes would bid goodbye — the actor had previously confirmed his departure after the conclusion of season 9 — there was an easter egg that indicated the season will welcome an iconic group from the comics.
The end of season 8 saw Rick and Michonne (Danai Gurira) take a decision to spare Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). The decision did not sit well with Maggie (Lauren Cohan), who lost her husband Glenn (Steven Yeun) to the psychopath's rampage. Fans had theorized that this might see her take on a new character arc, separating from the group, though the trailer indicates that she's put the issue behind her to live with Rick and others in the sanctuary.
