The Walking Dead Season 9 Finale jumped ahead a few months to reveal the fall of the Kingdom, the end of Carol and Ezekiel’s relationship, and a possible communication with a new community over Eugene’s radio. Even though the show has skipped ahead nearly seven years after All Out War, it looks like we’re not done with time jumps.
Entertainment Weekly’s Dalton Ross recently asked Showrunner Angela Kang what to expect for the new season, which begins filming in a month. “Things are going to pick up with a little bit more of a time passage, not a giant one like we’ve had, but winter will be over and people will be going to be in a different emotional space,” Kang said.
The first nine Season Premieres have featured the onset of the apocalypse, the disappearance of Sophia, the introduction of the Prison and the Governor, the destruction of the prison and death of the Governor, the obliteration of Terminus, a walker quarry distraction plan, the brutal murder of two beloved characters, the start of All Out War, and a deadly supply mission to Washington DC.
So what do the writers have planned for the Season 10 Premiere? “I’m working on the premiere…I’m like, I must be psychotic, because let’s just do more stuff we’ve never done on this show that feels impossible. That’s part of the fun of the show,” Kang said. If the comics are any indication, the Whisperers could be heavily involved in some major storylines, including a war.
Kang continued, “Obviously, there are some problems to be worked out with the Whisperers, these crazy neighbors that come in and out and cause chaos in their world. That’s something to play out, and obviously there will be other storylines that are kind of intersecting with all of this. It’s always fun to have more than one thing going on at once. We’ll find out how this radio voice, what they have to do with our people and their world. We’re having fun working on the pieces of this season, so hopefully it will go well. I’m knocking on a lot of wood.” Knowing how well Angela Kang handled Season 9, we have no doubt Season 10 will be incredible.

Something has to change. I read a few articles where #TWD has reached its LOWEST ratings during SEASON 9… So if that’s true, I hope the writers can pull some good sh*t out from their sleeves bcuz I’m sick of yawning and waiting for the hour to be up. Neagan is a marshmallow now, so it that the roll he’s going to play? No, you can’t trust Neagan, not Eva, but he needs to,be back as a regular in the show. And Maggie? We don’t need her back, just fine without her. But the tv series she’s in ⤵ awful.. So when she gets canned from that show, I guess she’ll be back, ugh… The Whisperers just freak me out, lol.. Why doesn’t Jadis come back and find someone else to take and let us see what’s going on there?? And I will never watch the show again if Dog gets killed off. And add Daryl, Carol and Neagan. I would also say Michonne too, but already heard pple talking of her leaving. Okay, I could go on and on, but time for dinner, lol. Oh one more thing #TTD, done with that show. Chris and his guests talk 5mins and then 10mins of commercials.. Omg man, way toooo many commercials.
I think Carol and Lydia should take out Alpha. Negan and Michonne should take out Beta. The voice of Jadis, who has stayed by Rick’s side, they should return together, so Jadis can reconnect with Gabriel, and Rick with Michonne, because Judith still needs her, for a little while anyway. And Morgan who has caught up with Maggie should also return, finding Daryl out scouting for other Whisperers. With Rick and Maggie back and any others who may have returned with them, they can finish off the Whisperers. With the other communities help maybe Lydia can find out what a real family is like and how they standby and take care of each other.
