PILGRIM LEADS THE HUNT FOR A GRAVELY WOUNDED SUNNY ON AN ALL-NEW EPSIODE OF AMC’S OF “INTO THE BADLANDS” AT 10:00PM ET/PT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – “The Walking Dead” season nine continues on Sunday, March 24th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. On the all-new episode, “The Calm Before,” the fair at the Kingdom is underway, with all four communities coming together in celebration for the first time in years, while some pacts are renewed, other deals will come at a much steeper price. The episode is written by Geraldine Inoa and Channing Powell and directed by Laura Belsey.
The second half of “The Walking Dead” Season 9 finds our groups of survivors, both old and new, continuing to deal with the impact of events that took place during the six years that have passed. Since the disappearance of Rick, many of these characters have become strangers to each other, and in some ways, strangers to themselves. What they do know is that they are in undeniable danger. They will soon realize the world just beyond does not operate as they thought. The group’s rules and ways of survival no longer guarantee their safety. A whole new threat has crossed their paths, and they soon discover it’s unlike any threat they have encountered or endured before. The group will start to question what they think they see. What may appear to be normal in this post-apocalyptic world could actually be more disturbing and terrifying than when the apocalypse first broke out. All that is certain is the stakes are high and numerous.
