THE WALKING DEAD Promo Stills Catch Up With The Characters 6 Years After Rick's "Death"
AMC has released a full batch of promotional images for the next episode of The Walking Dead, and they bring us up to speed with the likes of Michonne, Daryl and Judith 6 years after Rick's Grimes' exit...
As we discovered at the end of this past Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead, we're in for another time-jump when the show returns next week - and it's a big one!
We'll catch up with the characters a full 6 years after the events that led to Rick's disappearance/presumed death, with Judith now a gun-toting badass and the likes of Michonne, Daryl and Carol still attempting to keep civilization alive.
We'll also be getting better acquainted with the new survivors we met at the end of the last episode, and the new threat of Alpha and her ruthless Whisperers.
Below, you'll find a full batch of promo stills featuring most of the show's main players. Still no sign of Samantha Morton as the latest big bad, however.

Carol And Ezekiel
It looks like these two are still together six years later, with Carol now sporting much longer locks.
In the comics, Ezekiel and Michonne actually hook up. Is that still possible now that Rick is out of the picture?
Michonne
Poor Michonne has really been through the ringer, and it doesn't look like she's taking Rick's apparent demise any easier now than she did after the bridge explosion.
Negan
Negan's had a haircut and a beard trim, but he's still stuck in his cage.
Based on what we see in the trailer, it looks like the former leader of The Saviors will strike up a rapport with Judith. Could this lead to his release/escape, perhaps?
Daryl
Daryl did his best to save Rick but was ultimately forced to watch his friend sacrifice himself (well, as far as knew) to destroy the herd.
Here, we see Dixon take down a walker... or could it be a Whisperer?
Judith
It seems Judith will be taking her late brother Carl's place as the badass youngster of the group. It'll be interesting to see how such a massive deviation from the comics is handled on the show.
Eugene And Rosita
In the source material, these guys actually form a relationship, but it's still not clear if the series will follow suit.
Father Gabriel And Aaron
These two both had narrow escapes over the source of the last few episodes, with Aaron losing an arm and Gabriel almost becoming walker food.
Jerry
Jerry - who is almost certainly still awesome - is pictured here with Carol and the former "King" Ezekiel.
Henry
Though he has his back to us here, this is actually new cast member Matt Lintz, who will be playing an older version of Henry.
Carol
Another shot of Melissa McBride as Carol Peletier.
Judith
Another shot of Cailey Fleming as Judith Grimes.
