The first half of The Walking Dead’s fourth season ended with a bang as The Governor led one final attack on the prison, separating Rick Grimes and the rest of the survivors in the process.

Following the devastating events of the mid-season finale, Rick and the group are still reeling from the loss of their home, family, and friends. With the destruction of the prison, we see the group of survivors broken apart and sent on divergent paths, unsure of everyone else’s fate. What was a challenging life behind fences and walls grows that much more perilous and precious as they are exposed to new dangers, new enemies, and heartbreaking choices. They will have their faith thoroughly tested — a faith that breaks some of them and redeems others.

In this first clip from the second half of the season, we see Carl protecting his injured father by leading a couple of walkers away from where they’re hiding out.

The Walking Dead returns to AMC in the US on February 9th. It will air just one day later this year in the UK and returns to FX on the 10th. Are you guys excited?
