I say NO! to a completely different group with no connections to season one. I was completely satisfied with the choices that Telltale managed to give us throughout the season but I did except some more variation to the ending,not a vast amount(4 or 6) instead of just two.Clem living, no matter what you do, surely means that we continue her story,doesnt it? If season 2 has no connection to 1 then I'll be surprised and disappointed that the ending didn't branch out more(I totally understand the constraints if we do continue with Clem's story).
I was somewhat apathetic to Christa and Omid in episode 3 but 4 or 5 made me really like and care for them. I enjoyed and appreciated Omid's optimism and humour and Christa showed that she is a caring and resourceful woman who is willing to step up when the others dither, I jumped at the option to let them take care of Clementine. Please continue their and Clem's story Telltale. Does Clem find them? Is it them on the hill? What will happen to them and their future child? Did they even make it out of Savannah?!
I don't want to play as any of them but I most
definitely what them in our future protagonist's group( and Molly too

)
I want future seasons to continue with survivors I have gotten to know and care for in previous ones and not just start from scratch each time.If it's true that we are told to keep our saves, why start again with a totally unconnected story?
