Finally, finally, it is really almost just about time for the Season 4 premiere of The Walking Dead. It seems like ages since… wait, what happened at the end of last season, anyway? No worries, we have a featurette that tells us just exactly that. Yes, as it turns out, I had forgotten one or two things. Well, one, anyway.

In addition, we have an ACTUAL CLIP from the premiere. That clip, combined with the featurette, gets me completely impatient for Sunday at 9/8c. To take the edge off, AMC has also posted a fun featurette with Norman Reedus, about how to be a badass.

Following the videos we’ve reposted the press release about what’s ahead in the premiere and beyond for The Walking Dead, and a bit about the talk show that follows every new episode, Talking Dead with Chris Hardwick. Enjoy:

In this highly anticipated new season, we see Rick and the group of survivors fostering a thriving community in the safe haven of the prison.
