The Walking Dead resumes next month and AMC has released a brand Season 4 return trailer that teases what's to come with brand new episode footage. We've also included the recently released poster for the second half of Season 4 that also carries the tagline “Don’t Look Back" and hints at Carl being a bigger focus in the upcoming episodes.

The Walking Dead Season 4 will return with the first of eight new episodes on February 9th in the US. Our UK readers will be happy to learn that Season 4 will resume for them on Monday, February 10th. If you’re looking for more information on what to expect, check out our casting announcement article link below to find out which major characters from the comic book series will be showing up. We’ve also included a link to the previously released Season 4.5 trailer for those that missed it last month.

We have a handful of special features in the works to help tide you over between now and the Season 4 return, so be on the lookout for those articles over the next few weeks. Don't forget to read the in-depth interview with Scott Wilson we published last week.

Looking past Season 4, The Walking Dead Season 5 was officially given the green light by AMC, so filming should start in Spring 2014. A spinoff series is also in the early planning stages and is expected to air in 2015. We expect to have more details on all of these projects in the coming months, but you can catch up on our recent coverage highlights by visiting the following links:

New Season 4 Return Synopsis: "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."

*Note: It is likely that AMC has region locked this video and it may not be viewable in all countries. We will provide an alternate international embed as soon as possible.
