The Walking Dead is to return to UK screens for its fifth season on 13th October at 10pm, Fox has confirmed.

The Walking Dead’s lead actor Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick Grimes, previously promised a 'brutal' season’.

Spoiler tags here just in case someone hasnt caught up yet...

Spoiler:

Season Four ended with Rick and the group outgunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a train car awaiting a grim fate.

Season Five picks up shortly thereafter.

What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group's lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive.

Stories will break apart and intersect. The characters will find love and hate. Peace and conflict. Contentment and terror. And, in the quest to find a permanent, safe place to call home, one question will haunt them...

After all they've seen, all they've done, all they've sacrificed, lost, and held onto no matter what the cost...

Who do they become?

Time for the new thread

Couple of the deaths are obvious imo.

Excited to see Father Gabriel on tele and you can never have too many actors from The Wire.

Nothing to get excited over really. I expect many more copouts throughout the season.

What do you mean copouts?

[Locke.]

Just taking the easy route and dragging everything out because the show is popular. The storyline hasn't really made any progress at all since Rick first met up with the group in the first season, they've pretty much always been in the same situation they were in at the end of season 1 at the end of every following season, and when it looks like they have some kind of direction to take it in they always find a way to get out of it.

I bet they either drag out the travelling to Washington into next season or they will get there and nothing will happen, and they'll be in the same situation they've been in for the past 4 years of the show.. Stranded in some new place with no plan.

It's 5 seasons in now they really should be planning for an end.

Can't wait for it

This

I can't stand Carl

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

should have died in season 2 when he got shot

[Marc]

Time for Beth to be eaten tbh

[Firewire]

Glad Fox is airing it the day after it airs in the US again!

[Samm]

Michonne, Sasha, Glenn, Maggie, Amy, Daryl & the new girl need to survive

[Marc]

I forget who the new girl is.. The Latin girl?

[Niamh.]

Oh I can't wait for this

[Drew.]

5 weeks to go still, how very depressing

[Jords]

They need to shake things up though because it is slightly repetative as Locke described.

To survive: Carol / Daryl / Beth / Carl

I feel no loyalty to any of the other characters right now. I personally think a Glenn death has been a long time coming and needs to happen this season. I was kinda hoping he would die just as Maggie found him in a really intense, emotional scene which would have even made me shout "NO!" but now again its just boring.

[Natalie.]

Noo Glenn needs to stay

[Locke.]

Kill them all apart from Tyreese and bring Shane back
