First official images from The Walking Dead season 10
By Dan Selcke
With Robert Kirkman finally wrapping up his Walking Dead comic and news of a spinoff flying about, AMC’s The Walking Dead is seeming like an increasingly small part of the Walking Dead content empire. But as the network’s president of programming said, the original show isn’t going anywhere.
In fact, season 10 is just around the corner. If you’re just joining our motley crew of zombie apocalypse survivors, here’s AMC’s new synopsis:
"The Walking Dead is a story that started 10 years ago with one man trying to find his family. That family grew and gradually communities took shape. They fought and survived, thrived and gave birth to a new generation. It is a tale of humankind and there are more stories to tell.It is now Spring, a few months after the end of Season 9, when our group of survivors dared to cross into Whisperer territory during the harsh winter. The collected communities are still dealing with the after effects of Alpha’s horrific display of power, reluctantly respecting the new borderlines being imposed on them, all while organizing themselves into a militia-style fighting force, preparing for a battle that may be unavoidable.But the Whisperers are a threat unlike any they have ever faced. Backed by a massive horde of the dead it is seemingly a fight they cannot win. The question of what to do and the fear it breeds will infect the communities and give rise to paranoia, propaganda, secret agendas, and infighting that will test them as individuals and as a society.The very idea of whether civilization can survive in a world filled with the dead hangs in the balance."
The one man trying to find his family — Rick Grimes — is now off the show, gone to fight zombies on the big screen. But many characters remain and show up in glossy new images released by AMC, including Daryl, (Norman Reedus), Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Carol (Melissa McBride), Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam), Aaron (Ross Marquand), Ezekiel (Khary Payton), and Michonne (Danai Gurira).

Gurira will also be exiting the show at some point this season. If AMC really envisions the show going 20 seasons, I suppose turnover is inevitable.
