An artsy new trailer for the back half of The Walking Dead season 5 shows that Rick has almost completely transformed into a lion.

This brand new, minute-long promo for The Walking Dead’s mid-season 5 premiere depicts all of your favorite characters (except Beth of course) showing off their excellent walking-through-forests skills as the cameras sweeps across the group.

Rick (Andrew Lincoln) has quite the beard and offers a voiceover for the trailer. “Surviving. Surviving together is all that matters,” the leader says over eerie music and sound effects. Watch below:

The trailer depicts the characters shooting something – presumably a zombie – but after the kill or wound the thing, they seem to have a look of surprise on their face. Notice how Eugene is standing at the back of the group when they all have their weapons pointed? Some things will never change.

The Walking Dead season 5 returns Sunday, February 8 at 9 p.m. eastern/pacific on AMC!
