Last season, King Ezekiel's tiger Shiva leaped into the air to attack, and by the time her paws landed back on the ground, Alexandria and their allies had officially entered "All Out War" with The Sanctuary, and the official synopsis for the eighth season of The Walking Dead has now been revealed, teasing the massive conflicts to come between the post-apocalyptic communities.

AMC revealed the official synopsis on their website. The Walking Dead Season 8 premieres Sunday, October 22nd on AMC. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more details, and in case you missed it, check out The Walking Dead Season 8 trailer, as well as the show's Hall H panel, the trailer for The Walking Dead Robot Chicken special, and photos from the upcoming season.

"Last season, Rick Grimes and his group of survivors were confronted with their deadliest challenge yet. With the comfort of Alexandria, they let their guard down, only to be reminded how brutal the world they live in can be.

Feeling powerless under Negan's rules and demands, Rick advocated the group play along. But seeing that Negan couldn't be reasoned with, Rick began rallying together other communities affected by the Saviors. And with the support of the Hilltop and Kingdom, they finally have enough fire power to contest the Saviors.

This season, Rick brings "All Out War" to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless -- but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.

Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it's not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom -- Negan and the Saviors' grip on this world may finally be coming to an end."
