With the midseason break upon us, fans of AMC’s zombie drama “The Walking Dead” will have to wait until February for new episodes. In the meantime, they can analyze a teaser clip that dropped this week.

The clip shows that whatever peace the various colonies have enjoyed is about to be shattered by the arrival of the Whisperers. We don’t get a good look at Alpha, the leader of the mysterious group, but Ryan Hurst appears in full glory as the second-in-command, Beta.

With its quick cuts and fast edits, its not entirely clear what is happening, but it looks like Hilltop and the Kingdom are in for a rough ride.

Oh yeah, Negan also heads back to sanctuary, but just how many saviors are still around to lead remains to be seen.
