AMC 'The Walking Dead' TV Show Cast and News: Michonne Actress Danai Gurira Previews "Dire" Season 5 and Terminus
Season 5 of The Walking Dead will answer a lot of questions about Terminus, but maybe we can get a glimpse of those answers a little early.
According to Danai Gurira, who plays Michonne on the AMC series, fans who are stressing over the mysteries of season 5 have a right to do so. The actress teased the upcoming season while in Los Angeles attending Tuesday's Fresh Faces event hosted by Marie Claire
"You should be concerned," she told Access Hollywood. "It's a dire circumstance, definitely."
Although the show has not shown the true motives of the people of Terminus yet, Gurira hints that it may be wise to be weary of them.
"These people are not very nice," she explained.
Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead comic book creator and executive producer and writer for the television series, refuses to confirm or completely deny that the Terminus residents are cannibals. Still, there is plenty of reason to be fearful.
"We're not checked into the Four Seasons in there, so yeah, it's a pretty scary thing," Gurira continued.
The cast and crew have been pretty secretive about season 5, but Gurira admits that she knows a thing or two about the upcoming new episodes.
"Now I kind of know some stuff," she said. "It was really fun when I didn't because I'd be like, 'I know as much as you.'"
So what is Gurira willing to share with those desperate for their The Walking Dead fix?
"I can tell you that it's gonna be dire, and it's gonna be intense," the actress revealed. "It's all the things you tune in to see. It'll be that and then some."
According to reports, episode 1 of season 5 will probably be about the group reuniting as well as a deeper explanation of Terminus.
"We've got a reunion, and we know how brutal and extraordinarily tough this group are," Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) said.
"Season 5 will probably have more distinctive individual locations than we've had on the show thus far," Kirkman added.
Season 5 premieres in October.
