Breaking Down The New Footage From The Walking Dead Extended Preview

With The Walking Dead returning to Sunday nights in just over one week’s time, AMC released an extended preview of the upcoming episodes.

While much of the focus in the video was on the interviews given by the cast members and producers, there was also a few new scenes and shots that were previously unreleased.

What’s happening in these clips? What does it all mean? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Click through the slides as we break down each of the new scenes from today’s preview.

HIlltop Exit

If we know Rick, we know that he’s not going to put up with Gregory’s cowardice for very long. 

Once the two leaders go face-to-face, it’s likely that Rick will seek other help, turning toward Ezekiel and the Kingdom.

The scene of Rick and the others walking out of the Hilltop mansion is a powerful one, as it’s likely they’re not too happy.

 

Meeting The King

Rick and Ezekiel are bound to be extremely strong allies, and fans have been waiting for the two leaders to finally meet.

It’s confirmed that they’ll meet in this half of the season, and the trailers have teased their face-to-face. This new footage however, shows a full conversation between the two leaders.

 

Angry Negan

The first shot of Negan in the new footage shows an angry man indeed. The Savior leader is shown as a red door is being opened, and this is possibly the most frustrated he’s looked all season.

The guess here is that Negan has just found out about Daryl’s escape, and he’s looking for someone to pay the price.

 

Daryl’s Mission

Daryl is finally reunited with his best friend/brother Rick Grimes, as well as with the rest of his chosen family.

One member he hasn’t seen yet, and he may love more than others, is still missing from his life. Daryl is going to be looking for Carol, and that could be where he’s heading in this scene.

 

Dwight’s On Edge

Is Negan upset at Dwight for Daryl escaping? While it’s not his fault, he was definitely the responsible party overseeing the prisoner.

In one scene, Dwight is sprinting down the hall in Sanctuary, seemingly running from someone. In another, he’s throwing a fit in a smalle room. 

The guy literally tosses a drawer out of a dresser, and smashes it against the wall.

The Dwight you thought you knew is starting to break, that’s for sure.

 

Negan’s Power

It’s been clear that Negan has control of the entire area, but this new clip further demonstrates his power. 

The leader walks around Sanctuary, and all knees are on the ground. When he motions them, they all rise.

It’s scary to think that one man could have all that power. The clock is ticking, just count the hours.

The Walking Dead returns on February 12 on AMC.
