The Walking Dead Season 9: 10 Reasons To Actually Be Excited
3. Mr Grimes Goes To Washington
Judging by the key art for Season 9 which features the crumbling ruins of the US Capitol Building we can expect the group will be making a day trip to Washington DC at some point. The trailer also featured a scene in which Rick, Michonne, Daryl and a few other survivors are liberating an old-timey horse cart from a museum-like building so it would seem they’re plundering DC for useful historical artefacts.
Despite the Alexandria Safe Zone’s proximity to Washington DC, the group have kept well clear of the capital so far. That’s entirely understandable since it’s most likely overrun with the undead and possibly some still-living human threats but it’s high time we see what’s become of the former capital city.
Will Rick and Co come under attack by a herd of living dead senators? Maybe we’ll even see a zombified Barack Obama wandering the streets of Washington … probably not but one can dream. Regardless, seeing the group navigate the decaying ruins of DC and what they might come up against there is certainly something to look forward to.
