While the premiere of season five of "The Walking Dead" is still a good three months away, the hit series has just released a quick preview of what is to come. Based on the Robert Kirkman comic book, the AMC show continues to add fans to its loyal following as each season passes.
That's why this brief teaser from season five is such a big deal to followers of the show. The clip features Carol, Tyreese and baby Judith on the run from a group of walkers. It's nothing Earth-shattering, but it's the first look anyone has gotten of the upcoming season so far, so it's significant for fans of the series.
The series broke out of the gate in 2010 with a following that has been built upon with each successive season. While zombies have rushed to the front of mainstream culture, "The Walking Dead" continues to be the gold standard of the genre.
The show has cemented itself as the best of the best when it comes to the horror-thriller world, with loyal fans anxiously awaiting the premiere of season five. It looks to be a long summer for the TWD faithful, but the premiere will be here before they know it.
With no notable departures from the cast, the core stars of the show are ready to go after the epic season four finale. The season five teaser doesn't show much, but it will have to do for now. The ending of season four was a bit of a shocker for the non-comic book readers, but it helped AMC send the ratings for the show into the stratosphere.
Fans just cannot seem to get enough of their undead baddies and the deeply flawed heroes of the show. It has become the go-to Sunday night show for fans of the genre, and it looks to continue to gain momentum with each progressive season. The hype for the show has grown so intense that the finale for season four pulled in 15.7 million viewers, which is a record for a "Walking Dead" finale.
The hit show has helped turn AMC into one of the premier networks on television. The series looks to continue its run as the best zombie-fest out there, and you can get your first taste with the teaser below:
