The Walking Dead returns in the US tonight (and tomorrow on FOX in the UK), and the first four minutes or so the season five premiere have now been released online following its debut at the New York Comic Con.

Season Four of The Walking Dead ended with Rick Grimes and the rest of his fellow survivors outgunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a train car awaiting a grim fate at the hands of the residents of Terminus.

Season Five picks up shortly thereafter. What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group’s lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive.

In the premiere, we learn the true motives of the Terminans (who appear to be cannibals…) as Rick and the group find themselves in a vulnerable situation. Will they be able to work together? We’ll have to wait and see, but based on this lengthy clip, they have a lot to get through before that ends up happening!

Starring Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Chandler Riggs, Melissa McBride, Emily Kinney, Danai Gurira, and Chad Coleman, The Walking Dead returns to AMC on October 12th.
