VIDEO : 'The Walking Dead' Season 9 Will Pursue Civilization

The Walking Dead is officially setting its sights on rebuilding civilization.

After spending the last couple of seasons on Negan and his crew, season 9 is ready to move on.

According to executive producer Scott Gimple the story in season 9 will evolve a 'great deal'.

I think what?s exciting about next season is, just by virtue of the narrative, the story evolves a great deal. From the things said in the finale, there?s a bigger ambition now, a bigger thing that they?re chasing. It isn?t just regular, everyday survival, which they?ve become quite adept at. It?s what to do with that. Now they?re going after civilization.
