Fans have been freaking out over the new logo for The Walking Dead Season 9 that appears to be sprouting some greenery. Showrunner Angela Kang has an interesting explanation on the surprising change.
Kang explained to Insider that the logo could reveal what will happen in The Walking Dead Season 9.
"In previous seasons, the logo in the main titles was gradually decaying along with the world and the zombies in the show. The solid stone letters overgrown with greenery in the Season 9 logo reflects the fact that we're jumping into a new chapter of the story where our characters are rebuilding and nature is thriving — for better and worse."
That certainly sounds like an acceptable explanation. Nevertheless, I can't help but notice that the logo only started getting green on Andrew Lincoln's final season with the AMC series. Hopefully, this means that Rick Grimes' upcoming exit will mean positive things for the show.
The synopsis for The Walking Dead Season 9 reads as follows:
"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 of 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."
I'm really hoping that "the formidable force" will be the Whisperers. This should be an interesting season.
The Walking Dead Season 9 will premiere on AMC on October 7.
