After the dramatic cliffhanger which saw the fragmented group reunite at The Hilltop, AMC has just dropped a new trailer teasing the rise of the Resistance.
The trailer features members of the cast and crew discussing the upcoming season, along with previously unseen footage.
Executive Producer, Scott M. Gimple, said that last season was "very much about the characters and the audience finding their way through the trauma [of losing Glenn and Abraham]".
"They weren't ready and they weren't in a place to fight. They are now," added the show-runner.

They weren't ready and they weren't in a place to fight. They are now.
Andrew Lincoln (who plays Rick) notes the transformation of his character, explaining: "[Season seven began] with a man being obedient, going out of his way and risking his life for Negan in order to preserve life in Alexandria.
"But throughout there are successions of moments that change his mind and it makes him realise that this is an untenable situation," continues the 43-year-old.
The trailer suggests that with such a small group themselves, the Alexandrians must branch out to other clans, including the newly-intoduced Kingdom, to build an army.
"You're seeing people in a whole new place of really strategising, but against magnificent odds," reveals Danai Gurira (Michonne).

However, if The Saviours have anything to do with it, the road to freedom will not be smooth for the Alexandrians, with Jeffrey Dean Morgan admitting: "Negan is still there with a big smile on his face waiting. We're getting to a breaking point.
"It's been an interesting journey for the first half of seven and it's only going to get more crazy," Jeffrey teased.
The Walking Dead returns to Fox UK on February 13.
