In Season 6, Morgan’s (Lennie James) trying to free the rest of the group from under Virginia’s (Colby Minifie) control, while she “grows increasingly desperate to find her sister and protect the settlements from forces working inside and outside her walls,” AMC teases.

The second half “reveals the impact of what living under Virginia’s control has done to each person in this group, who once saw themselves as a family,” the logline continues. “New alliances will be formed, relationships will be destroyed, and loyalties forever changed. When everyone is forced to take sides, they discover the meaning of, ‘The End is the Beginning.'”
