The Walking Dead Season 9: Predicting Who Lives And Who Dies

6. Michonne

Not quite there from the start, but Michonne has been woven into the fabric of the show since her stunning, sword-wielding arrival in Season 2.

She’s suffered the loss of Carl and is going to lose Rick in some way too, but there’s a great burden on her now to become the sole leader of Alexandria. It’s extra dramatic responsibility and character work than Danai Gurira deserves, although there is the risk that, with a burgeoning MCU career, she too will decide to leave the show.

That hasn’t happened yet though, and Michonne still feels like a character with so much untapped potential that they can’t lose her anytime soon (unless their hand is forced).

Prediction: Lives
