The Walking Dead is making some big changes for Season 9, and the first batch of images from the season certainly seems to back that up.
At first glance, it looks like a new spin-off of the series, complete with a wild west vibe, and that’s not a bad thing.
The series became so bogged down with the same storylines, that change is necessary to prove to the fans that risks will be taken in the name of making good TV.
