But, what are some things fans need to know before Season 5?

Cleveland.com reports that there will be a new character named Father Gabriel Stokes, played by The Wire's Seth Gilliam. The site reports that in the comic books, Stokes is a preacher who encounters the group. He is a "conflicted man who has been surviving on his own during the zombie apocalypse. It eventually comes out that Stokes hid in his church during the outbreak, locking his congregation outside in order to save himself."

Also, fans will find out what happened to Beth (Emily Kinney). All we know is that she's currently being held at a hospital.

The Walking Dead airs at 9 p.m. ET on AMC.
