Sure, season four of The Walking Dead is still months away, but seeing how production is roaring forward behind-our-backs, it was only a matter of time before new media from the hit AMC show was leaked. Let’s start with the latest season four poster, shall we? It will see its full debut at Comic Con later this month.
Sweet, right? And I genuinely hope we get to see Michonne riding a horse all season.
The first episode of season four is going to be titled “30 Days Without An Accident” and is written by Scott M. Gimple. This leads me to believe all the new additions to The Prison has paid off and security is on point. The episode will take place three months after the season three finale, and Rick has apparently stopped seeing dead Lori, but that’s not a surprise as she was just an omen warning him not to do the wrong thing. Now here’s where things are getting a little fuzzy – either the Grimes Group finds a new base or The Governor finds a new base, in a giant convenient store, pictured below.
In other spoilers, Beth will die horribly in episode one… Ok, that’s a bold faced lie, but I really just don’t understand why she’s still around and we’re always losing interesting characters.
In reality, six new characters have been added to the show, whether they be supporting cast or non-frequently reoccurring. They include – Mitt, one of The Governor’s allies from the book series; Laura – single mom, former nurse; Melody – a tom boy or lesbian; and Don, pretty much another Hershel. You’ll get to meet all of them in episode six titled “Rise,” but you’ll get to meet Jack and Erin before that in episode four, “Indifference.” One of them will be killed off fairly quickly, which isn’t a bad thing because honestly the cast list is starting to get too big. I wish we just had our core group like season two back.
The last spoiler, which I am very happy about is that Andrea may return at several points. How, you may ask? Well, producers of the show have said that they want to really ground the characters this season, show their backstories and really flesh them out like in the comic books. One of the main characters this season is obviously Michonne and the potential to explore her friendship with Andrea through flashbacks is a big possibility.
With all this insight into the show, I am so excited for it to begin in October. What do you guys think of all the spoilers? What are you not excited for?
