THE GROUP UNMASKS A DISTURBING AND DANGEROUS NEW THREAT ON THE MID-SEASON PREMIERE OF AMC'S "THE WALKING DEAD" AT 9:00PM ET/PT

"The Walking Dead" season nine mid-season premiere airs on Sunday, February 9h at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. On the mid-season premiere, "Adaptation," the communities thought they could build a better future separately, but the recent loss of one of their own drives them to band together. When new leaders rise a disturbing and dangerous threat is unmasked, while an escaped captive revisits his past. The episode is written by Corey Reed and directed by Greg Nicotero.

The second half of "The Walking Dead" Season 9 finds our groups of survivors, both old and new, continuing to deal with the impact of events that took place during the six years that have passed. Since the disappearance of Rick, many of these characters have become strangers to each other, and in some ways, strangers to themselves. What they do know is that they are in undeniable danger. They will soon realize the world just beyond does not operate as they thought. The group's rules and ways of survival no longer guarantee their safety. A whole new threat has crossed their paths, and they soon discover it's unlike any threat they have encountered or endured before. The group will start to question what they think they see. What may appear to be normal in this post-apocalyptic world could actually be more disturbing and terrifying than when the apocalypse first broke out. All that is certain is the stakes are high and numerous.
