Watch the First Two Minutes of 'The Walking Dead' Season 5 Midseason Premiere


I've grown so accustomed to the season premieres of The Walking Dead featuring some kind of song sung by Beth (Emily Kinney) that it feels weird not having her around. AMC has released the first two minutes of the season five midseason premiere, which airs this Sunday night February 8th at 9pm ET. If you aren't totally caught up on what happened before the break, consider this your chance to move on before something gets spoiled.

It's hard to tell how much time has passed since the last episode, but clearly the group is still reeling over Beth's death. Maggie (Lauren Cohan) finally is showing some emotion, and Noah (Tyler James Williams) seems to have convinced Rick (Andrew Lincoln) to continue the trek to Richmond where he and Beth had intended to go. Here's a synopsis for the second half of season five:

After the tragic events of the mid-season finale–as well as losing the possibility of a cure in Washington, DC–Rick Grimes’ band of survivors find themselves on the road, surviving day to day and trying to hold on to their shredded humanity and dwindling hope. Stripped of security and without a direction for the future, some of the group near their breaking point, some find themselves hardened and cold and some just try to grasp on to what little they have left. Though they are still breathing, the line between Rick’s group and the dead is starting to blur. Could there be anything at this point that brings them back to life?
