The Walking Dead Season 6: 5 New Characters You Need To Know
3. More Wolves
Wolves not far Teased in season 5, and we met a couple of them - although they remained nameless - the Wolves are set for a much bigger role in the shows sixth season. That means were going to be finding out a lot more about them, what they do, why, and also meeting a few more of them as well.
There isnt a completely direct parallel to the group in the comics, however its commonly believed they will be some sort of beefed-up version of the DC Scavengers. This makes sense in the timeline, because in the books they show up when Rick shoots Pete, attracted by the sound of gunfire and gather at the gates to Alexandria demanding entry.
Theyre led by a man called Derek, and another sign that they are the Wolves is that when demanding entry to Alexandria he says to Rick: Little pig, little pig...let me in.
Theyre dealt with fairly swiftly, although the fallout from their appearance has some pretty major repercussions. Its quite easy to imagine that the show will simply be taking this group and making them bigger and badder for the TV show, with the name change to avoid some confusion between the contrasting portrayals.
Another possibility is that they are the Saviours, a group of survivors led by Negan, a character who pretty much everyone that follows The Walking Dead in some form has now heard of. Everyone is desperate for the foul-mouthed baseball-bat wielding psychopath to be introduced, and the Wolves being the Saviours would herald that arrival, but it seems like wishful thinking. He will arrive at some stage, but its probably still a little way down the line.
