Alexandria is definitely not going to be a thoroughly safe place when season 6 of The Walking Dead picks up on the action this fall.

Will Rick Be At A Crossroads In Season 6?

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Scott M. Gimple has revealed that the Wolves will be far from the only threat or concern affecting Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Glenn (Steve Yuen), Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and the rest of the group, as well as the other citizens of Alexandria.

"There are multiple threats, even in the first half of the season," he said. "And sort of different versions of threats we've seen before. The first three episodes are quite intense, and the cast and crew are--we just shot them out of a cannon directly into another cannon that we shot them out of again. The first three episodes are--we say every year, 'Ah, it's so crazy' and everything, and it has been crazy--but the first three episodes this year and the things that we're doing are very big and very difficult, and we're pushing people hard, and in some ways I think we're going to be pushing the audience hard. I'm pretty excited and terrified about it."

Rick & Alexandria Will Be Conflicted

However, one thing that he can assure fans is that the Wolves--who have already made their presence known, won't be the first thing that the group will be forced to contend with as far as a major threat is concerned.

"Is it season 6, season 7, season 8? I'll tell you, I don't know if I'd be as completely direct as to have the first thing we do when we pick up season 6, is to jump into anything with the Wolves. I wouldn't probably do that. I don't think we would do that."

The Walking Dead returns in October on AMC.
