AMC's hit The Walking Dead began its fifth season this week, and rumors are already flying about who will survive this season and who won't. Fans have also been speculating for a long time regarding who will play the villain in Season Five and if Negan, one of the comic's most infamous villains, will make an appearance. We break down some of the juiciest bits of information to come out about what will take place this time around on AMC's zombie drama.

Zombies aren't the real 'monsters'

According to show star Andrew Lincoln, the zombies in the show represent "some of the most lifelike moments" in the show. And it makes sense. After years of being on the run and enduring death and hardships, the toll that would take on people should eventually render them emotionally 'dead,' or zombie-like. So the show's title would then more so refer to the human characters and not the zombies they fear. Lincoln's point would seem to be that while the zombies kill based on instinct, the human characters harm each other in much more calculated and willful ways, making them the most frightening characters in the show.

Terminus? You haven't seen anything yet.

While the violence at Terminus is some of the worst seen so far in the show, according to the show's creator, Robert Kirkman, true villain of season five is something worse. Kirkman has also revealed in the press that the infamous Negan will eventually appear, though it's not yet clear if that will be in this season or beyond. Kirkman also confirmed that Season Five would follow the events of the comic more closely than any other, which would seem to indicate that Negan will appear sooner rather than later.

A new romance coming.

Scott Gimple, the show's showrunner, made it known that the show would be taking on another romance in addition to that of Maggie and Glenn. Emily Kinney weighed in on who the new couple might be by saying, "Beth and Daryl have a nice connection from Season 4." And since we know that Beth is still alive, it could definitely be possible, but who knows.

Uglier and uglier walkers

If you thought the zombies from Season Four weren't ugly enough, get ready because uglier ones are one the way, apparently. Gimple had this to say at the Season 5 Comic Con panel: "As we go on we're going to see all sorts of different walkers ... all sorts of different types of people who are people that then become walkers ... people who are walkers ... you're going to see a lot of stuff is what I'm saying." Additionally, special effects chief Greg Nicotero is apparently working on making the zombies look increasingly decomposed this time around.
