Watch Behind-the-Scenes Videos from THE WALKING DEAD Season 7

Many fans of The Walking Dead are likely still in shock from last night's nerve-shredding episode, and to give fans a little more closure and insight into the season 7 premiere episode, AMC has released four new behind-the-scenes videos. [Major spoiler warnings for those who haven't yet watched the season 7 premiere episode.]

"Up until this point, the survivors have lived through conflicts... Disease, hunger, scores of the undead, tragedy, betrayal, and unthinkable loss. Through this, they've become formidable. Powerful. Unstoppable.

To start Season 7, that power is taken away. They had found safety and stability. They had created a home. They thought the world was theirs. They thought they knew the world. They were wrong.

The first half of Season 7 sees the group fractured, broken, bereaved, and picking up the pieces while living under the thumb of oppression. Negan will have successfully brought the survivors under his control, brutally convincing them to live under his rules with a deadly and horrific example of what happens if they don’t.

Other characters are unaware of what’s happened, but have become separated from the group either by incident or choice -- they will learn that they can’t escape this new turn of their world, either. This half season is about these characters starting over.

The overall theme of the season is beginning again. The world isn’t what they thought it was. It’s bigger and it’s even more dangerous."

Keep an eye out for multiple interviews with the cast and creators of The Walking Dead to discuss the season 7 premiere, and in case you missed it, check out a clip and photo from the next episode, "The Well." The season 7 premiere episode is also available to watch online for free in the US.
