The Walking Dead Season 6: 10 Major Predictions

4. The Wolves Won't Be The Big Threat

The Wolves were shown in glimpses last year, set up to be a big new threat to Rick, Deanna, and their respective groups. Not an awful lot is known about them or their motivations, but it's expected they'll be pretty major villains. 

However, showrunner Scott Gimple has talked of multiple threats, and the Wolves not necessarily being what people expect. They do seem to be a version of the comic-book group the Scavengers, who don't actually do all that much, so it could be that the Wolves are going to be slightly underwhelming. 

Alternatively, they may be a beefed-up version of them, but I still don't anticipate them being the major threat, either across the season as a whole or even just the first half of it. They might play a part in the huge zombie hoard that attacks the group, but that could well end up being their downfall as well.
