The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live trailer has reinvigorated one of the oldest fan theories from the show and the origins of the helicopter from season 1.

While the show has released only small teaser trailers up until now, a brand new two-minute trailer just dropped. The footage offers fans their best look yet at the upcoming show as well as finally giving fans an idea of what the plot of the series will be.

Throughout the trailer, Rick is shown surrounded by a new military and army-style base, with all the characters in some sort of organized group that Rick will either befriend or fight against.

Knowing Rick, there is a good chance it will be the latter but the trailer does a good job of keeping fans in the dark.

However, diehard lovers of The Walking Dead have brought up a very famous scene from season 1 of the flagship show, potentially confirming suspicions and theories that this group has been around and watching Rick and company from the very beginning.

The images in question showcase the helicopter Rick catches a glimpse of in season 1 and compares them with the new footage from The Ones Who Live.

While this potential connection is still yet to be confirmed, there is a strong chance The Ones Who Live will explore this theory in greater depth.
