"There is something in the back half [of the season] that's kind of like joyful rebellion," showrunner Scott Gimple told TVLine. "They're able to finally do something, stand up for the right thing. It's like they had been asleep or just caught in stasis or anger or despondency."
Although everyone knows that Rick is up against Negan, the question still lies, whether he would be able to take the leadership from the latter or not. As Gimple revealed, someone will be spying on Alexandria that suggests that there are still more chaos awaiting the zombie apocalypse drama series.
