AMC has released the first four minutes of the much anticipated return of "The Walking Dead" this Sunday.

Sasha, Abraham and Daryl, as we've already seen, have been stopped by a motorcycle gang who work for a man named Negan. (We will see Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan later this season.)

They hand over their weapons to the gang. "Your property now belongs to Negan," says the head of the crew.

When Abraham asks, "Who's Negan?" the man in charge is not pleased... at all.

Greg Nicotero, executive producer, told EW a whopping 1,300 zombies will pop up in the mid-season debut, by far the most ever. This will be a humdinger of a bloody episode.
