Walking Dead Season 5 Release Date & Spoilers - News Update and When is it coming to Netflix?

"The Walking Dead" Season 5 is set to begin airing in October on the AMC channel. Early spoilers for the show gave us a look at characters Tyreese, baby Judith and Carol avoiding and onslaught of walkers in a wooded area. 

While rumors for "The Walking Dead" Season 5 suggest this season will be a bloodier, more raw version of the show than we've seen before, there's also talk that a possible relationship between Daryl and Carol could develop. 

Fans of this show will probably be looking for the release of the season 4 box set, which is expected to land on store shelves August 26. Soon after than, last season's episodes should show up on Netflix. Online streaming of the series through Netflix generally occures after the DVD box set release and the start of a new season.

Entertainment Weekly reported some spoilers for the upcoming show, courtesy of one of its creators. The madness of escaping zombies will pick up from a cliffhanger from last season.  "[Series creator Robert] Kirkman confirms that due to the cliffhanger of Rick and company being trapped inside train car A by the possible cannibals of Terminus, that the action will definitely be heightened when the show returns for season 5," the website reports.

And last month, Kirkman revealed more details on a podcast for the publication: "In our premiere episode of season 5 we're going to give a ton of answers of who the people of Terminus are, what they're doing, why they're doing it, what's going on with them. And by the end of that episode you're going to have a much better understanding of what's going on with them and why they're so important to the show."He continued:"They definitely get out of that train car. They do not spend the entirety of season 5 in that train car. It is through ingenuity and creativity and somewhat savageness that they are able to make their way out of that train car."
