New promo for midseason premiere of The Walking Dead

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

This Sunday sees the return of AMC's "The Walking Dead" with the midseason premiere, and we've got the latest promo to share with ya as we begin the countdown.

This latest peek at what lies ahead is filled with critical praise for this season, offering a glimpse at what’s ahead for Rick Grimes and company now that the possibility finding a cure in Washington, DC is off the table.

Here’s the official synopsis for the last 8 episodes of season 5:

After the tragic events of the mid-season finale–as well as losing the possibility of a cure in Washington, DC–Rick Grimes’ band of survivors find themselves on the road, surviving day to day and trying to hold on to their shredded humanity and dwindling hope. Stripped of security and without a direction for the future, some of the group near their breaking point, some find themselves hardened and cold and some just try to grasp on to what little they have left.

Though they are still breathing, the line between Rick’s group and the dead is starting to blur. Could there be anything at this point that brings them back to life?

"The Walking Dead" stars Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Chandler Riggs, Melissa McBride, Emily Kinney, Danai Gurira, Chad Coleman and Sonequa Martin-Green. It returns this Sunday, February 8, to AMC.
