The Walking Dead releases first few minutes of the mid-season premiere.
On Wednesday, AMC released the first four minutes of the mid-season premiere, which finds Daryl (Norman Reedus), Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), and Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) traveling back to Alexandria, oblivious to the hell unfolding there.
In a post-credits screen following last November's midseason finale, we saw the trio being stopped by Nega's motorcycle gang, and that's where this teaser picks up. What follows is a standoff that doesn't look too good for our heroes.

Besides leaving us on a major cliffhanger, the preview also includes the first mention of Negan, the most feared villain in the Walking Dead series. Jeffrey Dean Morgan has nabbed the role of the big bad, and he will reportedly make his debut in the season six finale, before appearing as a series regular in the already-ordered seventh season.
Entertainment weekly recently spoke to Andrew Lincoln about the rest of Season 6 and he painted a shockingly serious picture of what's to come.
“I felt sick to my stomach when I read the script,” Lincoln said. “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.”
