The Walking Dead comic series may have finished up, but the small screen adaptation is still going strong(?) and will return for its tenth season this October.
In anticipation, AMC has now released a batch of promo stills for the premiere, and they feature the likes of Daryl, Carol, Michonne, Negan and Father Gabriel as they prepare for the oncoming Whisperer War.
It's not just Alpha and Beta our heroes are going to have to contend with, though, because season 10 will also introduce a new skin-wearing villain named Gamma, played by
American Beauty and
Ghost World actress Thora Birch.

Walker Ambush?
Are Daryl, Michonne, Carol and co. being ambushed by some walkers here, or are they the ones setting a trap in order to herd the dead in the direction they want them to go? Right into the path of The Whisperers, perhaps?
Negan
After risking his own life to save Judith in the season 9 finale, it looks like Negan has been given a certain amount of freedom... even if he is constantly under guard.
Will the former leader of The Saviors stay on the path of righteousness, or revert back to his head-splitting ways?
Gabriel, Eugene And Siddiq
Expect these three to play a big role in keeping the free communities together by using their individual skills when they're needed most.
Daryl And Carol
These two have been very close for many years, but will that friendship and mutual respect develop into something more romantic in season 10?
Michonne And Magna
It's fair to say that there two had some serious trust issues when they first met, but Magna has now proved herself a valuable ally and will no doubt stand and fight beside Michonne in the war to come.
Yumiko
Yumiko hasn't had that much to do on the show thus far, but if season 10 takes influence from the character's comic arc, she should have a much more prominent part to play.
Michonne And Judith
It looks like Michonne and Judith have come to Oceanside for some reason, and all does not appear to be well.
This will be the final season for Danai Gurira, but we're still not sure how she's going to be written out. We don't see her walking away from her children for any reason, so being killed off seems to be the most likely scenario.
We still don't know a whole lot about Gamma, but she's said to be fiercely loyal to Alpha and serves as a Whisperer sentry. It also looks like she might be wearing the cloths Edith had on when she was killed, which isn't creepy at all.
