The Kingdom. Hilltop Colony. The Sanctuary. Alexandria. Throughout the first half of The Walking Dead’s seventh season, viewers have spent time in diverse locations within the expanding world of the series, and photos and preview videos for the mid-season finale feature characters from several of the eclectic communities.
The Walking Dead Episode 708 – "Hearts Still Beating" synopsis: "Alexandria receives an unexpected visit."
"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."
A 90-minute episode, "Hearts Still Beating" airs on Sunday, December 11th at 9:00pm ET on AMC. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates.
