The Walking Dead Season 9 debuts on AMC later this year, and it has now been confirmed that a significant time jump will kick-start the new batch of episodes.
"We're playing with time in the season, so we get to jump forward in the story," new showrunner Angela Kang revealed during a "Kick-Ass Women of AMC" panel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
That means the series would follow a similar path to the comics in that it took a time jump following the All Out War arc. That arc culminated with Negan being overthrown on The Walking Dead Season 8 Episode 16.
"We're working on a season that has a really fresh look and feel," Kang continued.
