Physical separation, psychological damage, and violence. What a great way to start the second half of the season! Watch the cast and producers talk about what’s to come in Season 4.5 of The Walking Dead, which premieres February 9 on AMC, and check out some new footage, in the featurette below.

Following the devastating events of the mid-season finale, Rick and the group are still reeling from the loss of their home, family, and friends. With the destruction of the prison, we see the group of survivors broken apart and sent on divergent paths, unsure of everyone else’s fate. What was a challenging life behind fences and walls grows that much more perilous and precious as they are exposed to new dangers, new enemies, and heartbreaking choices. They will have their faith thoroughly tested — a faith that breaks some of them and redeems others.
