Samantha Morton From The Walking Dead Presents New Look at “Mind-Blowing” Season 10

The Walking Dead Season 10 is “mind-blowing,” according to Alpha star Samantha Morton, who says showrunner Angela Kang has delivered a surprise-filled followup to the Whisperers’ premiere season.

Now, Morton is taking a page from Kang’s notebook and offering viewers a fresh look at what the pre-season buzz is all about:

The Walking Dead is set to return for its 10th season on Sunday, October 6, and fans have been treated to several behind-the-scenes clips, some incredibly creepy teasers thanks to  Alpha, Beta (Ryan Hurst), and the Whisperers, and very cool “PSAs” starring Judith Grimes (Caitlyn Fleming) and “Dr.” Eugene Porter (Josh McDermitt). There is even Connie (Lauren Ridloff), Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura), and Magna’s (Nadia Hilker) “counter-argument” to The Whisperers – and then the rest of the WD crew join in.

Kang and crew gave us another look at the upcoming season recently, with the following teaser showing the community struggling between abiding by their deal with The Whisperers and going to war with them – even as Alpha’s crew continues to spy and gather information.

“I’m so excited about what’s in store for Season 10. We’ve got absolutely loads of surprises,” Morton teases in a new behind-the-scenes video released as part of TWD’s weekly reveals in the lead up to Season 10. “Angela and her team of writers have done an incredible job. I mean, absolutely mind-blowing. I was in tears when I was reading the script. So proud to be part of this show. Shivers, shivers. You’re going to love it.”

On The Walking Dead Season 10 Preview Special, host Chris Hardwick was joined by Kang, Khary Payton, and McDermitt to discuss the upcoming season – and here are some of the highlights:

● Rosita’s (Christian Serratos) baby girl’s name is “Coco” – based on Serratos’ family name, with McDermitt revealing that he has a lot of scenes with the baby

● In a taped segment, the cast and creative were asked to describe the upcoming season in three words:

Norman Reedus: panicky, claustrophopbic, pressurized

Danai Gurira: riveting, unpredictable, transforming

Ross Marquand: no, more, mrniceguy

Caitlyn Fleming: exciting, unexpected, fantastic

Morton: heart-stopping, unbelieveavable, incredible

Greg Nicotero: watch, your, back

● While Kang hints at a possible redemption arc for Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), she points out that fans shouldn’t expect to see his “edge” go away.

● Kang had some sweet words for “Caryl” shippers out there: in season 10, there will be “a ton of Carol and Daryl this season”

● In a video segment, Reedus reveals that Daryl will be much more of a group leader this season, taking a more hands-on approach while looking to hold the group together.

● In a video segment, Melissa McBride says Carol will be feeling “isolated” after last season’s losses, and fans should expect Carol to do some “unexpected” thing.

● Kang says, “We’re going to see some Carol-Alpha, and it’s going to be awesome” – teasing an “epic” scene between Carol and Morton’s “big bad” that she had in mind at the moment but couldn’t give details on.

● In a video segment, Cassady McClincy talks about how we’re going to see a more “badass” Lydia this season, as she learns to use a staff as her weapon (similar to Lennie James‘ Morgan).

● Morton says we get to see more of Alpha’s “humanity” and a better understand of how the Whisperers opperate and how one can easilt become a Whisperer – emphasizing the importance of it coming from a female perpspective.

● Kang reveals that we will learn more backstory on Alpha and Beta, giving us a better sense of how their dynamic got to be the way they are.

● McDermitt says Eugene doesn’t “understand” Siddiq (Avi Nash) and doesn’t necessarily like/trust him.

● Gurira says Michonne will be juggling her responsibilities as community leader – especially in light of the threat that the Whisperers pose – with her time as mother, especially as Judith (Fleming) gets older and comes into her own.

● Kang, Payton, and McDermitt contributed some major money to a Talking Dead-created “swear jar” for Fleming – with some foul-mouthed but sage advice from McDermitt.

● Kang says the storyline for Michonne this season (as they plan her exit) has been the most difficult one to map out, hopes fans appreciate the “pretty cool journey” they have planned for Gurira.

● Nicoteto emphasizes the “Cold War” paranoia permeating this season, as fear and paranoia grow on both sides.

● In the special clip, Daryl is questioning why Carol hasn’t been in contact – alluding to the fact that he thinks Carol has been looking for Alpha. She says she hasn’t (though we don’t believe here) – and we get a Maggie (Lauren Cohan) reference: looks like the letters haven’t been flowing from her any time recent.

● Final queston to Kang had to do with Michonne holding Lucille in the season’s trailer: “It’s Michonne. She has Lucille.” – teasing how “different” she looks with it in the trailer. Hmmm…

Back in July, during the build up to Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC) in July, – we discovered that: comic book character Dante (played by Snowfall star Juan Javier Cardenas) will be brought to life unto the small screen; efforts were also underway to bring back Lauren Cohan (Maggie) ; this season would focus on  propaganda, paranoia, and PTSD; Michonne’s (Danai Gurira) in a “hot” situation in the season’s first official image; Negan’s (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) possible future; Eugene’s (McDermitt) connection to that mysterious voice on the radio at the end of last season; and that Lincoln will not direct an episode this season.

After San Diego more teases and news was further released including the start of a series of weekly reveals that began with a first look at American Beauty star Thora Birch in the role of Gamma, a Whisperer who is fiercely protective of Alpha. This week, AMC and Skybound offered a look at the second addition to the cast: Kevin Carroll‘s Virgil – highly intelligent, resourceful, and desperately trying to get home to his family. This season will also see Sydney Park return as Oceanside’s Cyndie.

Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, The Walking Dead tells the story of the months and years after a zombie apocalypse and follows a group of survivors who travel in search of a safe and secure home. The series is executive produced by chief content officer Scott M. Gimple, showrunner Angela Kang, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Dave Alpert, Greg Nicotero, Tom Luse and Denise Huth.

Here’s our first official trailer for the upcoming tenth season as well as an overview of what we can expect when the series returns. As the war between our heroes and The Whisperers escalates, both sides must deal with issues of trust and fear from within…

The Walking Dead is a story that started 10 years ago with one man trying to find his family. That family grew and gradually communities took shape. They fought and survived, thrived and gave birth to a new generation. It is a tale of humankind and there are more stories to tell.

It is now Spring, a few months after the end of Season 9, when our group of survivors dared to cross into Whisperer territory during the harsh winter. The collected communities are still dealing with the after effects of Alpha’s horrific display of power, reluctantly respecting the new borderlines being imposed on them, all while organizing themselves into a militia-style fighting force, preparing for a battle that may be unavoidable.

But the Whisperers are a threat unlike any they have ever faced. Backed by a massive horde of the dead it is seemingly a fight they cannot win. The question of what to do and the fear it breeds will infect the communities and give rise to paranoia, propaganda, secret agendas, and infighting that will test them as individuals and as a society. The very idea of whether civilization can survive in a world filled with the dead hangs in the balance.
