Norman Reedus (as Daryl Dixon) tells EW to expect “a lot of internal conflict" in season 6. "A lot of characters that you didn’t see having beef are starting to have beef—there’s a lot of mistrust.”

“We do play with time a little bit,” says executive producer Greg Nicotero, who directed the season 6 premiere. “And not in a traditional sense. We open right in the middle of this heightened action sequence, and we then jump around in that time frame to allow the audience to put together in their own minds what it is that we actually just saw.”

Melissa McBride, otherwise known as cookie-bribing undercover badass Carol (holding Judith in a scene on-set), talks to EW about the "frightening" new group known as the Wolves. "We're going to put some of the pieces together in season 6 and figure out more about who they are and why they are the way they are and what they want," she says.

There are lots of zombies. We can't emphasize this point enough – there are just a ton of freakin' zombies in season 6. One filming day alone for the season premiere featured 300 flesh eaters, a full hundred more than the show's previous high.

"I think most of the people in Alexandria at this point just see Rick as a crazy person, says Alexandra Breckenridge, who plays Jessie, the wife of the man Rick just shot as well as Rick's possible future love interest.

Danai Gurira (as Michonne (c.), alongside Lincoln and James) has found a way to combat the humidity on the Georgia set. "When it gets really bad, we put water through my wig and I can feel it on my scalp," she tells EW. "The minute I get that cool water on my head, it's all good."
