With their first meeting with Negan and Lucille in the blood-splattered rearview mirror, the surviving characters in The Walking Dead find themselves living in a larger, drastically different world dominated by The Saviors, but also populated by other communities, including The Kingdom, which is teased in a clip and photo from the next episode of The Walking Dead.
The Walking Dead Episode 702 – "The Well " synopsis: "Following a number of familiar faces, we are introduced to a new well-established community that seems too good to be true."
Titled "The Well," The Walking Dead Episode 702 airs on Sunday, October 30th at 9:00pm ET on AMC.
"Up until this point, the survivors have lived through conflicts... Disease, hunger, scores of the undead, tragedy, betrayal, and unthinkable loss. Through this, they've become formidable. Powerful. Unstoppable.
To start Season 7, that power is taken away. They had found safety and stability. They had created a home. They thought the world was theirs. They thought they knew the world. They were wrong.
The first half of Season 7 sees the group fractured, broken, bereaved, and picking up the pieces while living under the thumb of oppression. Negan will have successfully brought the survivors under his control, brutally convincing them to live under his rules with a deadly and horrific example of what happens if they don’t.
Other characters are unaware of what’s happened, but have become separated from the group either by incident or choice -- they will learn that they can’t escape this new turn of their world, either. This half season is about these characters starting over.
The overall theme of the season is beginning again. The world isn’t what they thought it was. It’s bigger and it’s even more dangerous."
Keep an eye out for multiple interviews next week with the cast and creators of The Walking Dead to discuss the season 7 premiere episode.
