A new behind-the-scenes look at The Walking Dead's mid-season premiere has been released.

The featurette offers a preview of the prison group's fate, following their brutal battle with The Governor's (David Morrissey) forces in last year's finale.

"Coming out of the first half of the season and seeing the prison fall, not really knowing who is where and whether some of these characters even survived or not – that's really exciting," Walking Dead author Robert Kirkman said.

The show's star Andrew Lincoln added: "We've had the sanctity and security of the prison for a season and a half. And [now] we're on the road again.

"People have been spun into orbit. Everybody's been separated. And it's a terrifying world that we inhabit again."

The new clip also features exclusive scenes from upcoming episodes, as well as the first look at some of the terrifying new Walkers.
