AMC released 3 new photos from the next episode of 'The Walking Dead'

"The Walking Dead" returns to TV in February and we finally have a few new photos for the upcoming season.

The last time we saw Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the survivors, they were gearing up to start taking down Negan and his Saviors.

The official synopsis for the second half of season seven, sent to press, confirms that forthcoming episodes will revolve around the group "preparing for war and gathering the supplies and numbers to take Negan down once and for all." They'll go about building up their numbers by approaching both the Kingdom and the Hilltop, but we'll also see new survivors in "incredible places" and "treachery from people we trust."

The three photos AMC sent out to press are labeled for season seven, episode nine, so we're hoping to see all of these scenes in the next episode.

Keep reading to see what's in store for Rick and the gang.
