“The Walking Dead” is an American horror-drama television series based on the comic book series with the same name, and it returned on Oct 11. Last season, Rotten Tomatoes gave the series a rating of 94 percent, praising its “top-notch entertainment.” This new season has high expectations, with many fans wondering what would happen to the cast. In the first episode, some time has passed from the last season, and slowly there would be constant flashbacks that were portrayed in a black and white setting. It starts off about blocking off and leading zombies to another direction that doesn’t lead to their base. They go on by shooting flares leading them away from their base, since sound and vision attracts the zombies. As they start doing that, the flashbacks shown are about how there was people that thought didn’t trust Rick, the new leader, in the community. He convinced them all enough that he is just trying to protect his family and everyone in the community. Near the end, the plan was going fine, but a loud horn sound came near home, making zombies turn back to the community. This was the ending of the first episode.

 According to Rotten Tomatoes, 96 percent of people want to see “The Walking Dead” this season, which is more than any previous seasons. The sixth season will have a total of 16 episodes, split into two parts with the second part of the season premiering in February.

AMC posted a Comic Con trailer for season six in July 10, 2015, and the four-minute clip went viral with a total number of more than 6.7 million views.

The location of the filming was in Senoia, Georgia, in early May. The season premiere will be 90 minutes long, which is an expansion compared to other episodes. Also, three new actors were added to the cast for the sixth season.

Scott M. Gimple, one of the show’s writers and producers told Rotten Tomatoes that the sixth season would remix the material from the comic and explained that there will be flashback of certain characters.

“There are other people that we’re going to see throughout the season from the comics, and I’m excited for people to see it, but I don’t want to tell them now. I think a few minor remixes, but some direct stuff from the comic as well, as far as these characters go,” Gimple said. “I think there’s a really cool aspect to the first half of the season that serves almost as a prequel to some direct comic stuff in the second half of the season. I think there’s a way that Robert did some of the story that we’re reaching that had a real past to it, where people are referring to some things in the past in the comic. And we’re able to portray some of that backstory in some ways that you didn’t get to see in the comic.”

 I think this season will have higher ratings than the previous seasons, and  I really like the cliffhangers that the show provided in its season premiere. It made me want to keep coming back and watch the next episode to know what will happen next I would give this show a four and a half out of five stars.
