The Walking Dead Season 7 Latest News
Here's the official synopsis for The Walking Dead season 7:
Up until this point, our characters have lived through conflicts... Disease, hunger, scores of the undead, tragedy, betrayal, and unthinkable loss. Through this, they've become formidable. Powerful. Unstoppable.
To start Season Seven, that power is taken away. They had found safety and stability. They had created a home. They thought the world was theirs. They thought they knew the world. They were wrong.
The first half of Season Seven sees our group fractured, broken, bereaved, and picking up the pieces while living under the thumb of oppression. Negan will have successfully brought the survivors under his control, brutally convincing them to live under his rules with a deadly and horrific example of what happens if they don’t.
Other characters are unaware of what’s happened, but have become separated from the group either by incident or choice -- they will learn that they can’t escape this new turn of their world, either. This half season is about these characters starting over.
The overall theme of the season is beginning again. The world isn’t what they thought it was. It’s bigger and it’s even more dangerous.
A bunch of new character posters, courtesy of TV Guide, CBR, EW and Variety, have hit the web. They show Rick and his group soaked in red, foreshadowing the deaths that are to come in The Walking Dead season 7:
A new trailer showcasing King Ezekiel has arrived ahead of The Walking Deadseason 7 premiere next month. There's a bit of new footage below, including Ezekiel bringing down his sword on some walkers. Check it out below:

AMC has released a sneak peak of The Walking Dead season 7 featuring Dwight, one of Negan's lieutenants from last season. It's a pretty creepy little scene on a highway:
Should we read more into the fact that Dwight is clearly riding Daryl's bike? And is that Daryl's vest? We're going to stay away from speculation for now...
