Rick Sees The Future In New The Walking Dead Season 7B Promo

A new TV spot for the return of The Walking Dead contains a few smiles for a change. Of course, the intensity and action sequences are also as present as they’ll ever be.

In rallying the communities to take on the Saviors, Rick Grimes will be willing to risk everything in an effort to cut down their oppressor Negan. In order to get the Hilltop and Kingdom communities behind him, Rick will have to do a lot of convincing with Gregory, King Ezekiel, and the citizens of Alexandria’s surrounding communities.

“It’s not about us anymore,” Rick said. “It’s about a future.”

The official synopsis for the rest of The Walking Dead Season 7 reads…

Rick’s group will find out yet again that the world isn’t what they thought it was. It’s much bigger than anything they’ve seen so far. While they have a singular purpose – to defeat Negan – it won’t come easy. More importantly, victory will require more than Alexandria. They need the numbers of the Kingdom and the Hilltop, but, similar to how Rick felt, Ezekiel (Khary Payton) and Gregory (Xander Berkeley) do not want bloodshed. To convince them otherwise will take more than speeches. The lengths Rick and the group will have to go to in order to find weapons, food and new fighters is nothing short of remarkable.

We’ll meet new survivors in incredible places. We’ll see Rick and the group tested in ways we’ve never seen before. We’ll see treachery from people we trust.Rick is confident as he will see his group and many others band together with the common goal of taking down Negan.But no amount of planning will prepare the group for all-out war with Negan and his army.
