This is not a drill: The first two minutes of The Walking Dead's season five midseason premiere are here and they feature…

Dirt!

Crying!

A painting of a house!

An eulogy!

The prison?!

As Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Glenn (Steven Yeun), Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and the rest of the gang mourn Beth (Emily Kinney), Rick gets some information from Noah (Tyler James Williams) about a potential safe haven near Richmond, Virginia.

"It's a long trip, but if it works out," Rick says, "it's the last long trip we have to make."

But what if this community isn't safe or isn't around anymore? Well, comic book readers know a thing or two about that.

"It feels like we're moving into a new show, it just feels like a new place visually and also story wise," Lincoln says in a video released in December.

Look for Ross Marquand to join the cast in a mysterious new role that is rumored to be Aaron, a gay character from the comic book series by Robert Kirkman.

And you're in luck, Walking Dead fans: More zombies could be coming your way too. AMC is also working on a pilot for a companion series starring Kim Dickens and Cliff Curtis.

The Walking Dead airs Sundays, 9 p.m. on AMC.
