With just days to go until the return of The Walking Dead Season 6, Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) gave fans a taste of what to expect in Episode 9, “No Way Out.” In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lincoln teased the fast-paced, high-stakes developments that will unfold as the survivors face a new wave of danger.
"Everything Will Move Very Fast"
According to Lincoln, the second half of Season 6 will see the story accelerate dramatically. "All I can say is that everything is accelerating," Lincoln shared. "We spend one or two speeds, and everything is moving very fast. Many things happen one after the other to bring us to the final." This rapid pacing hints at a series of intense moments that will keep fans on the edge of their seats as the plot hurtles towards its conclusion.
Lincoln also addressed the ongoing struggles within the Alexandria Safe-Zone. The once-peaceful community was beginning to show cracks in the first half of the season, and according to the actor, viewers will quickly see what’s in store for Alexandria’s future. "You will find the answer very quickly in the new episode," he said. "The writers have done something clever, and we have all the answers—shockingly terrifying but brilliant!"
The Fate of Alexandria
The return of Rick and his group to Alexandria in the midseason finale left the community teetering on the brink of disaster, with the walls breached and walkers flooding in. "This is a community that works, and everything was working fine until we arrived," Lincoln noted. The presence of Rick’s group has undeniably disrupted the fragile balance Alexandria had achieved. The upcoming episodes, Lincoln hints, will reveal why the group’s stay in Alexandria is crucial, especially with the looming threat outside the walls.
As viewers witnessed in the Season 6 midseason finale, Episode 8, Rick and his son Carl (Chandler Riggs) were in immediate peril as the horde of walkers closed in on the safe-zone. Lincoln elaborated on the situation, saying, “We will resume exactly from the end of the final mid-season. Alexandria is invaded. Rick and the kids are all covered in guts, trying to pass through the crowd. Everyone is where we saw the last time and things get worse from there.”
A Comic Book Moment on the Horizon?
Fans of the comics will be anxiously watching Episode 9, as it’s been suggested that one of the series’ most iconic moments might come to life in the show. In the Walking Dead comics by Robert Kirkman, a pivotal moment occurs when Carl Grimes is accidentally shot in the eye while the group is trying to escape a walker attack. This scene has been highly anticipated by fans, and Lincoln’s words don’t offer much reassurance for those hoping for a different outcome.
As the story progresses, viewers will see the stakes rise significantly. Lincoln’s cryptic comment about the answers being "shockingly terrifying but brilliant" adds an eerie layer of suspense as the group’s fate becomes even more uncertain.
What’s Next for the Grimes Family?
It’s clear that the stakes are higher than ever as Season 6 of The Walking Dead resumes. With Alexandria under siege and tensions rising between the survivors, the next chapter promises to be filled with intense action, devastating losses, and shocking twists. Fans will want to tune in to see how everything unfolds and whether the show will continue to follow the comics closely or venture into new territory.
The wait is almost over—Episode 9, titled “No Way Out,” airs on February 14th. Be prepared for a heart-pounding continuation of the story, as the world of The Walking Dead accelerates towards its next major turning point.
Will Rick and his group survive the horrors of Alexandria’s invasion? Will Carl’s fate mirror that of his comic book counterpart? The answers are just around the corner.
