Warning Major Spoilers: The Walking Dead returns tonight on AMC, with the very first episode its fifth season. This year, the renewed series promises to be bloody than ever. From the looks of things, fan favorite Glenn might be one the first to die.
The official plot and brief synopsis for tonight’s all new episode, titled “No Sanctuary,” reads:
“Rick and the group find themselves in a vulnerable situation in the Season 5 opener.”
The trailer for the Season 5 premiere of The Walking Dead hints at the death of Glenn. In the comics Glenn was beaten to death with a basebat. This death is teased in the trailer for the new season:
The show has strayed a long way from its comic book roots. However, some deaths still mirror the comics. Earlier in the year, we spoke with Axel actor, Lou Temple about just that:
CL: Now Axel died in a way similar to his counterpart in the comics. Did you know what was going to happen before it happened?
LT: I was told three weeks before I left the show that I was that I was going to be exiting the show. You do this denial dance, where you try to figure something else out. A different choice. Than when you finally commit to the fact that you are going to do this, than you want to do it great. So that was really my intention, to pull off it big the way we did and to shock the audience. I was really happy that we did a good job with that. I thought we accomplished what we were trying to do.
CL: Had he not been shot, how long would he have lasted? Would he still be with them?
LT: Yeah. I feel like he would still be a part of the group and that he would be very serviceable to the group. I think he had a lot to offer in friendship and comradeship. I think he was a handy guy who could of helped them out quite a bit. You know he just wanted to fit in and kind of kept putting his best foot forward. I think he had a lot to offer.
Be sure to check out the all new episode tonight at 9:00 p.m. on AMC.
