There are spoilers here for The Walking Dead.
The Walking Dead finished the first half of its sixth season on Sunday, but the show is already bringing its next Big Bad into focus. AMC has released a teaser for the second half of the season that features Daryl (Norman Reedus), Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), and Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) driving and encountering an ominous biker gang. And those bikers are armed. With no other way out — the bikers would probably chase them if they turned around — they get out of the vehicle.
"Your property now belongs to Negan," one of the bikers says.
Negan, who will be played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan (who's currently guest-starring on The Good Wife as private investigator Jason Crouse), is one of the comic book's iconic villains. He leads a group of survivors called the Saviors, wields a barbed baseball bat named "Lucille," and plays a pivotal and cataclysmic role in Glenn's story arc. We don't even see him in this preview, but we know he's there, and we know he'll be haunting the second half of season six.
The Walking Dead returns on February 14, 2016.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
