Check out This Intense Sneak Peek at The Walking Dead Midseason Premiere

After a 10-week hiatus, Season 6 of AMC’s The Walking Dead resumes this Sunday night, and what better time than Valentine’s Day to cozy up with our favorite post-apocalyptic zombie hunters?

When we last saw Rick and the gang back in November’s midseason finale, Alexandria had been overrun by walkers, that little bastard Sam would not keep his mouth shut, and Daryl, Abraham and Sasha were held at gunpoint in the middle of the road by a clan of bikers who run with long-awaited villain Negan.

AMC recently released the first four minutes of Sunday’s premiere, and by the looks of it, all hell is about to break loose.

It’s been heading this direction for some time, but walkers may no longer be the primary threat to the group. Fans of The Walking Dead comic book series are all too familiar with the ruthless Negan, who will be played by Watchmen star Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Here’s what star Andrew Lincoln (Rick) told Entertainment Weekly about the season finale, which is another eight episodes down the road:

I felt sick to my stomach when I read the script. It was the first day in the whole six years of working on The Walking Dead that I was late for work because I woke up in the middle of the night and I couldn’t get back to sleep. I was so angry and frustrated and I felt sick. And that was just after reading it.”

Added Lauren Cohan, who plays Maggie:

(Hearing) the word ‘finale’ gives me a physical reaction because it’s the hardest day on set that I’ve ever had in my life,” says Cohan with a sigh. “I never even imagined that as an actor you could have that experience. It’s one of the most raw experiences that I think any of us have ever had. Andy talks about being late to work; I didn’t want to go to work that day. It took a really, really long time for everybody to feel okay again after the finale, let’s put it that way.”

Oh yes, there shall be blood.
