The Walking Dead is a survival horror television series that aired on AMC. The premise of the show involves a group of people who are consistently on the run from hordes of the undead - walkers. Led by former police sheriff Rick Grimes, this ragtag group of survivors must battle not only the flesh-eating monsters that are always nipping at their heels, but also those fringe elements of humanity that demonstrate behavior even more monstrous than the walkers themselves.

Season five of The Walking Dead began airing on October 12th, 2014. The season took the characters away from the sanctity of the prison, and split them up into varying groups, each one embarking on a journey that ultimately leads them to a place called "Terminus". New threats abound as Beth Greene gets kidnapped, Daryl Dixon falls in with a group called the Claimers, Rick's group takes in a cowardly priest named Gabriel Stokes. All of this brings the survivors to a new state (both literally and figuratively) as they come upon a community at Alexandria, Virginia.

Actor Michael Cudlitz, who played Sergeant Abraham Ford became a title character with this season, having been upgraded from a guest star in season four.
