Dressed casual in a grey T-shirt, jeans and brown boots, Lincoln was his usual athletic self as he accessorised with his weapons.

Norman Reeds, Michael Cudlitz, Danai Gurira and Lauren Cohan were all also in their zombie fighting attire as they reunited for their quest of a safe haven.

Meanwhile during an appearance at Comic-Con in July it was revealed that Morgan is set to come into the fore this season.

He was in the very first episode then disappeared, cropped back up in season three and disappeared again, only to finally catch up with Rick in the season five finale just in time to see him execute a guy with a bullet to the head.

The exciting season six trailer revealed that Morgan now has a starring role, and one that may be in opposition to Officer Grimes. According to Lennie James who plays him, fans may also find out what he's been up to all this time.

'We may find out what Morgan's been doing with himself, where he's been,' he said.

As for everyone's favourite character Daryl Dixon, actor Norman Reedus revealed that the normally reclusive lone wolf has finally found a home in Alexandia, where he has a purpose and a job.

However Reedus also added that his place within the community would be tested this season as he revealed how he gets into character: 'A lot of Motorhead, a lot of coffee. I play Candy Crush a lot.

'I’m so into it, it’s ridiculous. I spent hundreds of dollars on it, I don’t even care,' he added.

The Walking Dead returns to AMC at 9 p.m. ET on Sunday, October 11.
