T10 WHATS UP! October 11 - 17, 2020 Now, the new trailer shows a glimpse of what's to come in the next season (which com- pleted filming, thankfully, be- fore the COVID-19 quaran- tine), set to Morgan's words from the finale: "If any of you are listening, if any of you can hear me, what we were doing out here, it wasn't just about doing right. We fought for the future. We made the hard call for all of us. If you're listening to me, live. All of you, if you can hear me, just live." It was a bittersweet ending for fans, who were left unsure as to whether he even made it out alive. The trailer has little audio aside from this, but ends with another radio call from some- one ominously asking about what happened to Morgan. Immediately following is the image of a box, conveniently the size of a head, labeled "Morgan Jones." We see one eye (presumably Morgan's) snap open, bright red. Morgan has made it through all of "The Walking Dead" and "Fear the Walking Dead" to this point, but at the end of Season 5, it wasn't looking too good for him. Based on the trailer, many fans are predict- ing that his end is near. The fi- nal clip of the trailer ends with his red eyes opening. Does this mean he's now a zombie? It's hard to tell. The last season was led, pri- marily, by Morgan. He has al- ways been passionately com- mitted to finding and helping as many people as he can and helping the survivors to make up for their wrongdoings in life. "These are characters who, when we found them at the be- ginning of the season, were struggling to overcome their past and all the things they re- gretted by looking outwards and helping people," said showrunner Andrew Cham- bliss ("Once Upon a Time"). Season 5 began with a plane crash and the group being lured away from their denim- factory base. They find them- selves in a high radiation area, meeting two new kids whom Alicia saves from Walkers while channeling her pain from losing family members into violence. They then begin driving and find a roadblock made of Walkers. When they finally stop running, the local Walkers turn out to be radio- active and even more danger- ous to be near. They finally be- gin to see a way out by plotting out the roadblock locations with help from Dwight — who came into the picture ready to end his life because he knew he would never see his wife again. Throughout the season, Dwight's personal transforma- tion makes it appear as though, at times, he may find her after all. Part of the way through Sea- son 5, Dwight leaves on a mis- sion to find airplane parts to help repair the damage from the crash at the beginning of the season, ultimately lending a more hopeful tone to the se- ries as the group finally works to overcome their relentless necessity to fight or flee. They focus on survival — which is a breakthrough for many char- acters, such as Morgan, who fi- nally admits to Luciana (Danay Garcia, "Prison Break") that he "felt something" at the mall carousel (a major moment for such a stubborn character). Based on what we know, Season 6 is going to be nothing short of a violent, emotional roller-coaster from start to finish. Chambliss also teased that "there's going to be a tre- mendous battle to fight" in the upcoming season. You can catch the Walkers at the height of horror in the Sea- son 6 premiere of "Fear of the Walking Dead," Sunday, Oct. 11, on AMC.
