AMC is gearing up for the October premiere of The Walking Dead season 5 with an official synopsis and a ton of new photos.

The synopsis for the fifth season of America’s favorite zombie drama doesn’t offer any significant clues into the upcoming storyline other than reminding us that things will change dramatically.

It reads:

“The Walking Dead season 4 ended with Rick and the group outgunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a train car awaiting a grim fate. The Walking Dead season 5 picks up shortly thereafter. What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group’s lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive.

“Stories will break apart and intersect. The characters will find love and hate. Peace and conflict. Contentment and terror. And, in the quest to find a permanent, safe place to call home, one question will haunt them…After all they’ve seen, all they’ve done, all they’ve sacrificed, lost, and held on to no matter what the cost…Who do they become?”

Need something a little more substantial? A big batch of photos surfaced online today and depict many of the lead characters standing around or in some sort of action:

The Walking Dead season 5 premieres Sunday, October 12 at 9 p.m. eastern/pacific on AMC. Check out the most recent trailer in our previous story.
