Rick Grimes lives! We knew that already, but still. AMC has released the first image from The Walking Dead season five and it's of our hero, played by Andrew Lincoln, looking a little worse for the wear but still breathing.

When we last saw Rick Grimes, he was being forced to surrender in Terminus. However, he was reunited with various members of his group.

The Walking Dead continued its ratings dominance in season four. Its March finale had 15.7 million viewers, with 10.2 million of them in the 18-49 demographic. 

The new season, which is set to premiere in October, is currently in production in Atlanta.

Season five of The Walking Dead will consist of 16 episodes and feature some new faces, including Seth Gilliam and season-four additions Michael Cudlitz, Josh McDermitt, Christian Serratos, Alanna Masterson and Andrew J. West. Scott Gimple will return as showrunner.
