We’re just about a month shy of the Season 9 premiere of The Walking Dead. The megahit horror/drama series returns to AMC on Sunday, October 7th. “All Out War” may have ended, but previously released teasers make it clear: Permeant peace is hard to sustain during a zombie apocalypse!

To get us amped-up for the series return, producers have just dropped some choice new key art and a bevy of images, featuring our favorite characters. We can tell by how much Josh McDermitt’s mullet has grown [featured imahe] that a decent amount of time has passed since Season 8 concluded. Have a look at the gallery below, followed by the synopsis for Season 9 and the 5-minute trailer released during San Diego Comic-Con last July.

Synopsis:
Last season brought the culmination of “All Out War,” which pitted Rick Grimes and his group of survivors against the Saviors and their cunning leader, Negan. With Negan’s life in his hands, Rick had a character-defining choice in front of him. By making the unilateral decision to spare Negan, Rick upheld the values his late son, Carl, championed in order to build for the future, but created conflict within his group.

Now, we see our survivors a year and a half after the end of the war, rebuilding civilization under Rick’s steadfast leadership. It is a time of relative peace among the communities as they work together, looking to the past to forge the future, but the world they knew is rapidly changing as man-made structures continue to degrade, and nature takes over, changing the landscape and creating new challenges for our survivors.

As time passes, the communities confront unexpected obstacles, danger, and of course, walkers, but nothing quite prepares them for the formidable force they are about to encounter, which threatens the very idea of civilization that our survivors have worked so hard to build.

Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, The Walking Dead reigns the number one drama on television among adults 18-49 for the last six seasons. The series is executive produced by chief content officer Scott M. Gimple, showrunner Angela Kang, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, Greg Nicotero, Tom Luse and Denise Huth.
