The Walking Dead cast get eerie new character portraits

The countdown to The Walking Dead's seventh season continues to dwindle, and the latest reminder that the show's return is just a month away has come in the form of a slew of character portraits (via Entertainment Weekly, Variety, TV Guide, and CBR). 

Check them out below...

These photos - which have most of the cast alternating between confident and worried poses - don't really give us much of a clue as to who will be Lucille'd in the premiere. Thankfully, we won't be kept in suspense much longer.  

Season 7 of The Walking Dead will debut on AMC on October 23, 2016.
