New Characters 

Last we saw our fearless survivors (Michonne, Daryl, Aaron, Eugene, Magna, and Yumiko) surrounded by The Whisperers. But don’t fear! Looks like there are able to make it out of their first altercation with The Whispers alive. However, there is still the shocking loss of Jesus as he is brought back to Hilltop. But he is not the only one brought back. If you saw in the trailer you may have noticed a woman on Michonne’s horse being brought back to Hilltop blindfold. If you are fans of the graphic novel you may have connected the dots to who this could possibly be. While the storyline is a bit mixed up for the television adaptation the blindfolded woman is none other than, Lydia a Whisper member and daughter of Alpha. Her capture will definitely spark a war between Hilltop and The Whisperers as Alpha will try to get Lydia back. We see the leader of The Whisperers, Alpha not once but twice in the teaser. The first time in the woods, Alpha is wearing her walker skin mask with a machete held in her right hand while she stares down Luke and Alden. The two Hilltop members are outside the community walls when they encounter the group of Whispers and we have the feeling one or both won’t make it out alive. The second time we see Alpha is without her mask and we get a glimpse of the back of her bald head. The connection is made as both the bald-headed character and the Whisperer in the woods are wearing the same outfit. Graphic Novel fans were quick to catch the clothing attire of the machete-wielding Whisperer is an exact replicate of Alpha in the comics. 

Notable Moments From The Trailer

• We got our first glimpse of Beta in the trailer. Beta will play a crucial role in the second half the season and may be one of the most terrifying villains the series as seen alongside Alpha. Also, who else is excited to see Daryl and Beta’s showdown?
• Looks like Angela has heard our pleads to see what caused the rifts between the communities and Grimes crew. We will get flashbacks of the years between the six-year time jump. As we see Michonne with her old look and blood on her hands.
• The Kingdom is falling and things are not looking good for this community. Get your tissues ready as the fair that is supposed to bring the communities together. May also be the event that R.I.Ps them apart!
