However, AMC Studios recently released a group picture of the cast but Norman Reedus who plays as fan-favorite Daryl Dixon was not among them. This instantaneously sent wild speculations that Reedus' character will be killed off mid-season.
Included in the picture, however, were Rick Grimes, Carl Grimes, Michonne, Glenn Rhee, Maggie Greene, Sasha, Sgt. Abraham Ford, Tara Chambler, Ford, Bob, Stookey, Eugene Porter, and Rosita Espinosa.
Since Daryl is one of the most favorited characters in the series, killing him off might be a blow to the series viewership. Among the speculations accompanying the character for season five is that he will simply lose a limb, instead of completely being dead.
Andrew Lincoln, who plays as Rick Grimes, says that the first episode will be one of the most action packed episodes.
"I think that this first episode is the strongest, most complete episode that we've done. It's full of action, the biggest action sequence that we've ever attempted. But it's also got one of the most incredible narrative scripts, and one of the coolest after credits coda," Lincoln explained.
