‘The Walking Dead’ Image Confirms The Death Of An Iconic Character

Entertainment Weekly has unveiled a new The Walking Dead photo that confirms the death of a major character.

The previous mid-season finale of The Walking Dead concluded with Jesus being killed after one of the Whisperers stabbed him and while actor Tom Payne has openly discussed his exit from the series, some were hoping that the character could somehow survive the wounds he sustained. Now, a new photo from the second half of The Walking Dead season 9 has removed what little doubt there was about Jesus’ fate and offers a preview of the journey the surviving characters will take to bury their fallen friend.

Last season brought the culmination of “All Out War,” which pitted Rick Grimes and his group of survivors against the Saviors and their cunning leader, Negan. With Negan’s life in his hands, Rick had a character-defining choice in front of him. By making the unilateral decision to spare Negan, Rick upheld the values his late son, Carl, championed in order to build for the future, but created conflict within his group.

Now, we see our survivors a year and a half after the end of the war, rebuilding civilization under Rick’s steadfast leadership. It is a time of relative peace among the communities as they work together, looking to the past to forge the future, but the world they knew is rapidly changing as man-made structures continue to degrade, and nature takes over, changing the landscape and creating new challenges for our survivors.

As time passes, the communities confront unexpected obstacles, danger, and of course, walkers, but nothing quite prepares them for the formidable force they are about to encounter, which threatens the very idea of civilization that our survivors have worked so hard to build.
