'The Walking Dead' Season 6 Episode 1 Spoilers, Cast, and ABC's Air Date

May 13, 2015 07:48 PM EDT

One of AMC's most popular shows The Walking Dead, will begin its sixth season in the fall.  The big question is always who will live and who will die, and many spoilers can be found just by looking into the series' comic book source material.  Here is what is known on the Season 6 Release Date, as well as the episode 1 premiere date. 

Melty reports that The Walking Dead Season 6 is now beginning filming in Manchester, Georgia.  Apparently it will begin in the Alexandria Safe-Zone, which follows a storyline in the comics as Rick and the other survivors tried to "settle down" in a walled city.  Considering that this safe setting did not last long as internal struggles and an invasion of zombie walkers ended this chapter of The Walking Dead graphic novel story. 

So I suppose that the temporary relief that Rick the survivors will have in Alexandria is a spoiler, and there have been some others that are mostly rumors, based on what we know from the storyline in the graphic novel series. 

For example, we know that Glenn (Stephen Yeun) is going to die at the hands of a villainous man named of Negan, as this is what the graphic novel series has shown in black-and-white (literally, because the comic book source material is in black and white).  It is unknown whether Glenn will die in this season, and if he will die at the hands of Negan, who has yet to make an appearance on the television show. 

Another character that could die would be Abraham, who was also killed by Negan in the comic.  The Latino Post reports that Tara and Eugene could also make that "death list". 

The biggest unknown is the fate of Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), a fan-favorite who is not a part of the comic book source material.  There are always rumors that Daryl could be killed, and a recent report says that he sold his house in Georgia.  Reedus has denied those rumors, according to Comic Book.com

Season 5 ended on strange note.  As you may recall, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) shot crazed husband Pete (Corey Brill) in the head, and then Morgan (Lennie James) made his expected return.

The Latino Post says that Morgan's return as well as the arrival of the Wolves, a sadistic group of survivors who could be the main antagonists for the next season, are the scenarios fans should watch out for. There is also a possibility of a romance between Rick and Jessie (Alexandra Breckenridge), even though Rick just murdered the father of her children.

Oh, and another thing could be more zombies. The show has lately focused on humans as the main villains, but Season 6 might remind us why Rick and his gang are together in the first place. Considering that in the graphic novels, the Alexandria safe zone was invaded by a zombie horde, then it would be not surprising if history repeated itself.

Season 6 of The Walking Dead will begin on AMC on either October 11 or October 18, 2015.  I realize that for some of you, that might be a long wait, but the spinoff series, Fear the Walking Dead, should be out this summer.
