The Walking Dead Season 9: This Teaser Goes Out to All "Richonne" Fans

(Reporter's Note: I could waste your time with about 12-14 lines of build-up before getting to this The Walking Dead teaser – but this one's for all the "Richonne" fans out there. With all of the talk of bad stuff still to come, it's cool to take a minute and appreciate seeing two characters actually smile for once. So enjoy… and then we'll return you to your regularly scheduled "snarky cynicism"…already in progress…)

And because there's no such thing as watching the official trailer for the upcoming ninth season of AMC's The Walking Dead – and it's sweet use of Future Royalty's 'Take What's Mine' – too many times, here you go one more time…

Last season brought the culmination of "All Out War," which pitted Rick Grimes and his group of survivors against the Saviors and their cunning leader, Negan. With Negan's life in his hands, Rick had a character-defining choice in front of him. By making the unilateral decision to spare Negan, Rick upheld the values his late son, Carl, championed in order to build for the future, but created conflict within his group.

Now, we see our survivors a year and a half after the end of the war, rebuilding civilization under Rick's steadfast leadership. It is a time of relative peace among the communities as they work together, looking to the past to forge the future, but the world they knew is rapidly changing as man-made structures continue to degrade, and nature takes over, changing the landscape and creating new challenges for our survivors.

As time passes, the communities confront unexpected obstacles, danger, and of course, walkers, but nothing quite prepares them for the formidable force they are about to encounter, which threatens the very idea of civilization that our survivors have worked so hard to build.

Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, "The Walking Dead" reigns the number one drama on television among adults 18-49 for the last six seasons. The series is executive produced by chief content officer Scott M. Gimple, showrunner Angela Kang, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, Greg Nicotero, Tom Luse and Denise Huth.

The Walking Dead returns to AMC with new showrunner Angela Kang on Sunday, October 7th at 9 p.m. ET/PT, with an extended 86 minute ninth-season premiere.
