This article comes fromDen of Geek UK.
It contains spoilers for the TV series and comics.
After two seasons, the all out war between Negans Sanctuary and Ricks rebel alliance is finally over.
Before Rick can do that, he faces dissension in the ranks.
Keeping Negan alive and in prison wasnt everybodys idea of a happy ending.
All out war could well give way to civil war in season nine.
Kang has been a writer onThe Walking Deadsince 2011 and a producer since 2012.
Gimple, by the way, hasnt leftThe Walking Dead, far from it.
Rick Grimes: Start Everything Over?
Which incarnation will season nine introduce?
Could Rick once again become a family man, starting afresh with Judith and Michonne?
Carl dreamed of a return to the normality of Friday night pizza and father-son walks in the countryside.
Rick instructing Siddiq to treat Negans wound was the first step towards achieving Carls peace.
Can Negan Be Reformed?
Is that transformation possible can Negan be domesticated?
Youre gonna be evidence that were making a civilization, Rick told Negan in the season eight finale.
Something like what we had.
Something were gonna get back… Thats the part youll play.
Itll take more than acknowledging the worthiness of his adversary, though, for Negan to start playing nice.
Rick had better put some trusted guards on Negans cell while shes around.
Maggies displeasure at Rick saving Negans life has sown a seed of dissension.
Season nine will see that seed grow.
In Maggies Hilltop community, Georgie thinks shes found something special.
The question remains, after everything thats happened can people believe in people again?
Anne and the Helicopter
The Scavenger experiment is over.
Jadis real name, we learn in the finale, is Anne.
Shes off to join Ricks community, leaving Morgan in her former digs at the dump.
Season nine will have to explain all.
Will he ever be back?
Dwight and Sherrys Reunion
Where did Dwight and Sherry go on honeymoon?
That might be a clue to the location of Dwights Sanctuary-escapee wife.
The season finale saw Dwight freed by Daryl and told to go in search of Sherry.
At their former home, he discovered a note from her with the word honeymoon and the infinity symbol.
Could that herd and those poles be introducing a new group of villains known as the Whisperers?
They survive by blending in with, rather than killing, the dead.
Thats not to say they dont kill at all.
Guts-drenched clothing, however?
Whither Eugene?
How could he sell his friends out for an Atari, a gremblygunk, and a jar of pickles?
Then it happened: Eugenes redemption.
If Negans allowed to live, then Eugene certainly must too.
But where does he fit in now?
With the surviving Saviors, or back with his original crew?
Will season nine follow suit?
The Walking Dead season 9 is expected to air in October 2018.
