Zombies don’t stand a chance in AMC’s trailer for the rest of The Walking Dead’s Season 5

By Rick Marshall January 21, 2015

AMC’s hit zombie drama The Walking Dead is currently on midseason hiatus, but with the second half of Season Five kicking off in a few weeks, the network has offered up a brief trailer teasing what’s to come for Rick Grimes and the rest of the ragtag group of survivors.

Basically, it’s not looking good for the zombies — but the humans aren’t doing so well, either.

Titled “Another Day,” the 30-second preview of the remainder of the fifth season is jam-packed with scenes of zombies getting cut up, shot up, and run over as the group struggles to survive one day after another in a world filled with flesh-hungry monsters.

“We do what we need to do. And then, we get to live,” says Rick (Andrew Lincoln) at the start of the preview.

Already renewed for a sixth season, The Walking Dead returns for its midseason premiere February 8. The series is based on the comic-book series of the same name created by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard, and along with Lincoln, the series also stars Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Chad Coleman, Chandler Riggs, Melissa McBride, Emily Kinney, Danai Gurira, and Sonequa Martin-Green.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon ending, explained

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is the latest in a flurry of spin-offs of The Walking Dead, expanding the franchise into new areas previously unexplored. This one focuses on fan-favorite character Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), one of the few who didn’t exist in the comic books but was created solely for the show. He mysteriously ends up in Paris, providing an entirely new setting and a new primary language for the series (don’t worry, there are subtitles) along with lots of F-bombs (no language restrictions on this show!) and a Last of Us-like journey.

How did he get there, what happened, and what’s in store for the already confirmed second season? With a massive reveal in the end, there’s lots to love, and look forward to, about The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.

5 Walking Dead characters who deserve their own spinoff

The Walking Dead was one of the most popular series on AMC, spawning numerous spinoffs. Some of these were released while the main series was airing, while others debuted after the postapocalyptic horror drama ended its run. Most recently, there has been The Walking Dead: Dead City, which is centered around Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan), and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, with Norman Reedus reprising the role of his fan-favorite character. The first and arguably most successful spinoff, Fear the Walking Dead, will end after its eighth season is completed this year. That show focuses on an almost entirely new (and often changing) cast that was eventually bolstered by the arrival of Morgan (Lennie James) from the original series in crossover fashion.

Bottom line: There’s no shortage of The Walking Dead stories to be told. If fan service means anything, there are a few other characters die-hards who would love to see get their own spinoff.

AMC original shows will temporarily come to Max in September

Among the major streaming services, AMC+ has a library of top-tier shows, but not as many subscribers as its rivals. However, some of AMC's series will soon get a much larger showcase. Warner Bros. Discovery and AMC announced a deal that will temporarily bring several AMC originals to Max under the banner AMC+ Picks starting September 1. AMC+ Picks on Max will be ad-free, and it will be available on all tiers of Max at no additional charge.

Certain shows, like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and The Walking Dead, will not be included in this deal because the streaming rights to those series are locked up with Netflix. However, many other series from AMC and BBC America are included, including Killing Eve seasons 1-4, Fear the Walking Dead seasons 1-7, Interview with the Vampire season 1, Dark Winds season 1, and A Discovery of Witches seasons 1-3.
