With AMC's "The Walking Dead" making its return to television in October, special key art and trailers are beginning to be released into circulation. The latest piece of key art features Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) looking like a grizzly man, toting a revolver of sorts. To the right of Grimes is the new season five tagline: "Hunt Or Be Hunted."
While "Hunt Or Be Hunted" appears to have a general resonance with the entire show, readers of the comic book series are privy to the underlying knowledge of "the hunters." So far with the exception of some minor details and characters, "The Walking Dead" has mostly tagged along with the comic book series. The one important subplot that remains untouched is the cannibalism aspect that has not yet made an appearance. It is theorized that season five will deal heavily with this topic.
AMC president Charlie Collier discussed season five after the release of the official trailer. "From the opening tease in the premiere onward, season five is without question the most ambitious and satisfying season this amazing team has ever crafted," said Collier. "In the zombie apocalypse, event television is alive and well, and I am proud to acknowledge that this uniquely talented writing staff, production team and cast have once again raised the bar (and the crossbow)."
Season four ended with the gang running through Terminus, which at first glance appeared to be a survivor sanctuary. With the cannibalism aspect being suggested as a major theme of season five, it's very possible that Terminus is not all that it appears to be. The odd candlelight vigil that the group runs through could be a precursor to those who have 'given' their lives so that the rest of the clan doesn't starve.
Steven Yeun, who plays Glenn on "The Walking Dead" opened up to E! News about the possibilities for season five. "I remember a couple of scenes I would look over at what was going on in the scene and I would be like, 'What the eff? What are we doing? How is this legal?' It's grounded and real, too; it's not like torture or gore for no reason," Yeun told E! News. "It's literally, that is what would happen and we are trying to show it. It would not work on network television, let me tell you that."
