The Walking Dead's Season 9 Midseason Finale Heralds the Arrival of the Whisperers

There's been so much going on during the first half of this season of The Walking Dead that we haven't even really gotten to the new adversary the Whisperers yet. But that's going to the change in the Season 9 midseason finale, "Evolution. As seen in this preview released Sunday night, the episode will find Daryl (Norman Reedus), Jesus (Tom Payne) and Aaron (Ross Marquand) searching for Eugene (Josh McDermitt) and investigating the strangely behaving herd that spooked the hell out of Rosita (Christian Serratos) by talking.

We know that that herd is not made up of walkers, but is actually living people wearing the skin of the dead. But our heroes do not, and they don't know what to think when they see the herd doing stuff they've never seen walkers do. Eugene -- who will be found alive, the preview reveals -- says the herd was looking for him.

The Walking Dead's Season 9 midseason finale airs Sunday, Nov. 25 at 9/8c on AMC.
