The Walking Dead Season 8 Teaser: "The Last Stand Begins" in February

After an insane last-minute comeback by the bad guys, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his coalition were beaten down pretty hard but still not broken, driven underground by a newly emboldened Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and the Saviors. The Kingdom has been abandoned, and King Ezekiel (Khary Payton) taken. Alexandria burns under Negan's scorched earth retribution. The Hilltop readies itself for a final battle. Instead of an ending, this year's mid-season finale of The Walking Dead served more as a beginning than an end: the beginning of an all out final assault that will decide everyone's fate.

Though the series isn't expected to resume until the end of February 2018, AMC released a teaser trailer showing that after a season of waging "All Out War"…"The Last Stand Begins":

Here is AMC's official synopsis for The Walking Dead Season 8:

"Last year, Rick Grimes and his group of survivors were confronted with their deadliest challenge yet. With the comfort of Alexandria, they let their guard down, only to be reminded how brutal the world they live in can be. The introduction of Negan and the Saviors broke our group.

Feeling powerless under Negan's rules and demands, Rick advocated the group play along. But seeing that Negan couldn't be reasoned with, Rick began rallying together other communities affected by the Saviors. And with the support of the Hilltop and Kingdom, they finally have enough fire power to contest the Saviors.

This year, Rick brings 'All Out War' to Negan and his forces. The Saviors are larger, better-equipped, and ruthless — but Rick and the unified communities are fighting for the promise of a brighter future. The battle lines are drawn as they launch into a kinetic, action-packed offensive.

Up until now, survival has been the focus of Rick and our group, but it's not enough. They have to fight to take back their freedom so that they can live. So that they can rebuild. As with any battle, there will be losses. Casualties. But with Rick leading the Alexandrian forces, Maggie leading the Hilltop, and King Ezekiel leading the Kingdom — Negan and the Saviors' grip on this world may finally be coming to an end."
