Timeline The Walking Dead | Season Five

Timeline S5 – SPOILER ALERT

Escaped the danger of Terminus, in the fifth season of The Walking Dead we find Rick’s group back on the street in search of a home.
What the characters will have to deal with most in this season will be the progressive loss of humanity towards their fellowmen, with whom they no longer know how to measure themselves now that they are faced with a semblance of new-found normality (Alexandria).
The arrival of new characters and Morgan’s unespected return, flavor one of the most popular seasons ever.
Below is a summary of the most important events of the timeline TWD’s Fifth Season.
