* PreviouslyOn: From Seasons 1-8, a narrator says "Previously on AMC's ''The Walking Dead" to introduce a "previously on" segment. Starting with Season 9, this changes as usually a main cast member will say the line. Occasionally, usually for a season premiere, a character will deliver a monologue recapping what's been going on (for example, Lydia narrates the segment for "Home Sweet Home", relating the events of the previous episode and the Whisperer arc). This sometimes provides an extra nugget of information, such as Carol specifying in "Diverged" that the reason Alexandria's hunting grounds are empty is because the Whisperer horde scared away all viable prey.
