AMC released a teaser for the return of "TWD" this fall after its mid-season finale.

Negan's making his way to the Commonwealth, something he never does in the comics.

A deleted video on AMC's official YouTube channel suggests the show will return to TV in October.

Daryl has Rick's iconic gun and Negan's heading to the Commonwealth this fall to shake things up on "The Walking Dead."

AMC debuted the first teaser for the final eight episodes of "TWD" after the show's mid-season finale Sunday night. The series will come to a conclusion this fall.

While AMC has only said "TWD" will return this fall, a now-deleted official behind-the-scenes video on "The Walking Dead" YouTube channel claimed season 11 will continue on October 2.

An AMC representative confirmed to Insider that the premiere will be announced at a later date. They did not acknowledge the date mentioned in the removed YouTube video.

In the past, "The Walking Dead" fall premiere date has been announced at San Diego Comic-Con along with the debut of an official trailer.

There's no official synopsis yet for the series' final episodes, but showrunner Angela Kang told Insider fans can expect "some memorable moments" with Lance Hornsby, who has quickly become a fan-favorite villain on the series, along with "some resolution" to open-ended storylines.

"The tensions will continue to ramp up. There will be lots of twists and turns, which hopefully people will find fun and surprising," Kang said, adding that longtime fans can expect a lot of "nostalgia" heading into the final eight episodes.

"There's gonna be some stuff that's a nod to some of the history of the show, which, hopefully people will like," Kang continued. "And we will dive into some of these characters and who they are now and how we are gonna kind of end them for the series."

Story continues

We're finally going to learn more about Lance's dodgy group in the Commonwealth. It looks like they're front and center in at least part of the final eight episodes. We see two people, including Shira (aka fake Stephanie), going after Jerry, who is with an unsuspecting R.J., Judith, and Gracie.

Is Jerry going to be OK?AMC

In another shot, Carol has a knife on hand as Shira is seen in the background.

Is Carol going to kill Shira?AMC

A big shocker and change from the comics is that Negan has made it to the Commonwealth. Negan sat out this final arc of the comics because creator Robert Kirkman originally planned to kill him off in the series. It's nice to not only know that Negan will get to be a part of the Commonwealth arc, but to see that he'll share screen time with Mercer, the head of the Commonwealth militia.

We're hoping they'll be working on the same side to take down corruption at the Commonwealth.

Are Negan and Mercer teaming up?AMC

The biggest reveal in the teaser showed Daryl holding Rick's gun. We're sure he didn't just randomly find it. Judith has been holding onto her dad's gun. Will Daryl finally learn that Rick's alive and out there somewhere in "TWD" universe?

Is Daryl going to realize Rick's alive?AMC

The teaser ends with a shot of Lance's bloody face. We're hoping this doesn't mean that he slaughtered the entire Oceanside group.

Did Lance just kill someone? Whose blood is on his face?AMC

As a reminder, the mid-season finale ended with Lance flipping a coin as the Oceanside group was lined up in front of him. Kang told Entertainment Weekly that Lance is deciding whether or not to kill the members of the community.
